Hi,
Is there anything floating around that clearly states what would work for a PFS necromancer?
It seems like there's a lot of differing opinions on the subject and lots of conflicting information floating around the various forums and discussions and I'm getting confused by it all.
e.g...yes, its legal...no, its against RAW for society play because you can't be evil...if you cast animate dead or create undead your GM will force an alignment change and make you evil and the character will be removed...casting an evil spell is always an evil act and will turn you evil...evil spells are not inherently evil and neutrals cast them all the time....etc.
When I asked a local venture type he said it would be legal--you'd just have to RP a lot if you were in a party with a cleric of Pharasma or paladins, etc. and that you couldn't keep your animated creatures between adventures. Which is what I get from reading rules, too.
But, there seems to be a huge population who clearly think its intrinsically evil, end of story, and a CN wizard could not stay neutral if using zombies to battle for good.
Since there are only so many hours in the day to ponder this, I was wondering if someone could point me to an authoritative answer on what's ok and what isn't? Does casting an evil spell turn you evil, or is it ok to create zombies and undead as tools for fighting evil?
Thanks!
