Is this even a thing that works?
It strikes me as an interesting concept, going with the Bones Mystery and all that, but I can't find any info on it.
Would I be better off just going for a traditional Cleric Necromancer?
Any additional tips for someone who's never played a Necromancer before?
Also, would a Shaman Necromancer be viable? That certainly seems like an interesting concept as well.

If you want to do an Oracle Necromancer, you should be able to manage it with either Bones or Juju mystery. (Juju has better spells and skills -- it's really worth a look.) I'm not as fond of the Shaman's bones spirit for this, but some of the witch hexes do feel awfully necromantic.
What do you want to do with your necromancer?
Hmm
I'm just looking to make a basic Horde of Skele's type Necromancer.
See, I generally play as character's that focus their efforts on destroying undead, and I'm just looking to see what it's like on the other side of the fence.
The overall vision I have for this character is a horde of human skeletons, with some form of large, mini-boss type skeleton serving as a general of sorts. The necromancer would possibly be riding this general, or just watching from the background, casting as needed by the flow of the battle.
And yeah I was looking at the Juju mystery... What exactly makes it better?
Ravindork have a great oracle necromancer in his emporium i think.
Ooo I'll have to take a look. Thanks for the lead!
Araonna Chorster is her name i think.
Brewer's Guide has a ton of info. It's specifically about using words of power to do it, but there is still plenty of info there to assist.
I found RavingDork's, and I'm reading that guide as I type. Great info here. Thanks everyone.
