One person said elsewhere, "Dark. Though I do wonder how people using this class would interact with people associated with Pharasma."
Another said, "My wife actually plays a "Pharasmin Priest" Necromancer.
Uses his powers to call on the wandering spirits that haven't yet passed on and gives them a final blaze of glory in a push to move them on to the Boneyard."
a third person said regarding the first comment above, "Not very well, like a war cleric of urgathoa player trying to participate in "Fall of Plaguestone", because that player really likes Scythes... but doesn't bother to look up the history of ISGER, the GoblinBlood Wars, nor the history of Northern Andoria aka "darkmoon Vale"... very real reasosn why I won't allow a Goblin, Hobgoblin, Orc, or anyone who delights in disease, death, plague, undead, and urathoa's secret "appetites" I.e. romancing undead and cannibalism. UGH! SO NOT ALLOWED!"
Same "third person"... Continues, "Pathfinder infinite has a few "Investigator" methodologies that revolve about Spirit mediumship. "your spiritual gifts obligate you to serve two worlds; the living who need counsel and consellation... the dead who need to fullfill a task left undone, or to once more be reminded of a moment from the life they had lived." seems, that your great Gramma's spirit might want to pass on her unique "Chicken and Dumplings" recipe the cures one stage of permanent enfeeble or something..."
Same "third person"... Continues, "Or another ghost, might long to "perform opera in opara", yet "another from Viridian might want to make amends to those family(s) he'd wronged in life [now their descendants]." still another from Adoran, just might want to savor a specific Brandy one last time... The Ghost of a girl who never got to grow up might wish to experience her "first kiss". not all of this is evil... plenty of Biblical "Seers" who did such things. Not all Spirit mediums (the real "witch of Endor") are blindly taking cues from King Saul and yoinking the Prophet samuel out of divine rest and reward, just to "Chat"..."
"third person"... ends with, "an Alternative to capturing freed souls and binding them into unending torement, misery, and slavery... is simply stating, "in a weird way your telekinesis attaches to the lingering resonances in physical remains (like the memories and ectoplasm that "speak with dead" and "object reading" gather information from) The remains are merely a set of "Rods", "Levers", "Fulcrums", "Joints" with a "memory" of how to stand/move on their own. This kind of "Puppetry" is not VOID and not true "Necromancy" and therefore is immune to Clerical turning, and related effects (alchemist's "Saint's pinky bone bomb"?)."
the second speaker from above ends the discussion with, "Absolutely right.
Nothing about how Necromancer is presented in PF2 locks you into any kind of "Dark overlord raising hordes of unliving suplicants"
Sure, the room is there to play that way, but it doesnt have to be."
