Necromancy?


Pathfinder Society


Greetings fellow pathfinder!

Need a little help. Looking to make a necromancer type character within the guidelines of society play. I know that necromancy is looked down upon, but not outright illegal. That being said, what are some of the more effective way to go about this within PFS rules? Was thinking perhaps a summoner with an undead eidelon. Is there any way to use summon monster for undead instead? Or perhaps there is an archtype for summoner or another class that would help flesh this out for me. Any advice would be good!

Thanks!

Summoner with undead eidolon is one way to go about it. Then you could take Spell Focus(Necromancy) and Skeleton Summoner to add undead to your Summon Monster lists. If you're a human, you could pull it off at first level as a Summoner or Sorceror. You could do it as level 1 as a wizard, getting Spell Focus for free as part of PFS's trade-offs.


Not too bad of an idea, thank you

I'm not really sure about the tricks available for this, but there was a ShakaUVM's Guide to Playing a Necromancer in PFS that discussed tips for Wizard builds.

As far as I'm aware it's always been allowed. If there was a change, it was months ago.


According to the Additional Resources PDF, it says nothing about that feat being illegal under the Ultimate Magic section. Unless it is outlawed somewhere else.

Yep, UM has an exclusionary entry. Looks legit.
