Necromancer suggestions

[Braull]

I am new to this mud and ever since I learned about the option to make a necromancer I have wanted to. Fighter builds are straight forward but the necro build has me a little baffled. I would really appreciate if I could have a few pointers on creating a necromancer that would stand a fighting chance on his own. I am under the impression that necromancers are more or less outcasts and have to be self sufficient. I look forward to reading your comments. Thanks!

As the proud owner of a Necromancer... I do have a few suggestions. You will want a decent amount of Int and Wis. The Necromancer guild will require at least a 15 Wisdom to enter, a fact that I didn't know going into it so I had to level, gain wisdom, and try again a few times. So lots of those two. Mine so far has allies, and it is very doable, however if you're thinking your character will be a loner then I recommend some points into str and con. Also to consider, wisdom and charisma will make it easier to level as they give you an xp bonus.

Aside from that, good luck with a necromancer, and I hope to meet them in game!

That shouldn't be required to join a guild for class modification. I was under the impression that these requirements were removed? I believe the 15 Con requirement for the Invoker guild has already been removed.. How long ago did you join the guild?

A while ago, but after the point where the stat requirements were said to have been removed. Not that I mind being wise, it helps with the XP gain.
