Do you see minionmancy mechanics being balanced and available to roles beyond necromancers?
I look forward to dwarven artificers being able to manufacture stone golems for the protection of our gold-filled vaults, and our priests and mages being able to call upon the earth itself to wage war upon those who would presume to trespass in our mountains (ie summon elemental).
These gameplay features would be thematically and lore appropriate for dwarves, and might be regarded as core elements of high level gameplay for dwarf wizards, druids, clerics and smiths.
