True Necromancer

Power corrupts. Power over life and death corrupts absolutely. The power to raise the undying, unkillable servant from the husk of the formerly living is seductive, darkly tempting and certainly evil. Those who seek such undying obedience from the dead willingly tread the path of necromancy.

Create Undead

Create Greater Undead At 7th level, the True Necromancer can cast Create Greater Undead 1x/day as a spell-like ability.

Energy Drain
