Definitely, you should keep it up, you’re pretty good at them

[@heathengypsy]

Theres a much easier way to deal with the intellect devourers at the very beginning. When you first come upon them and they run off, go into sneak mode and sneak up just past the fire on the ground on your left side, wait there about 10 seconds and the intellect devourer on the ledge will climb down to the ground. As soon as its on the ground go into turn base and hit the nautiloid tank on the ground near it with a fire bolt. It will take at 2 of them in one turn and you'll only have to deal with one.

[@joshshin6819]

i found a much easier way to handle them. i just fucking killed them. with reckless abandon. took less time.

For my honor mode run, I’m going to be a warlock, forcing the demon with that sword to have disadvantage on command. Still not guaranteed mind, but that basically forces him flip two coins each time I try to get him to drop it, and it only takes one tails for him to drop it (Tails being the 55% chance) . I know that’s not how D20 rolls work, but anything I can do to get that blade on my warlock will be amazing.

[@fortello7219]

Ive been doing a necromancy build for a whole party. Its REALLY frustraiting that there's basically nothing at low level. Something like the shadowblade spell from Xanathars could at least add some flavor, but that's level 2 so any Arcane Tricksters and Eldritch Knights couldn't use it until level 7ish. Some level 1 spells, especially melee focused ones similar to Divine Favor would be really nice for that. Plus more clothing options. If we could deck out the party in skulls and leathers that would look really on point. Maybe even some low level necromancy staves, bone weapons, etc would help.

[@grimm76328]

Yeah necro doesn't really come online until level 6 and you're generally mod act 2 by that point. Kind of stinks that many other classes get a lot of their signature abilities at level 3 while is just a generic caster until 6.

THe thing about DnD and necromancy is, i found clerics (evil domained ones) to be far better necromancers then wizards/sorceres in all actuallity. They have a far easier (un)live in the early portions of their journey, (pnp as well as vgs) they also provide better support to their minions with harm, whcih heals undead creatures, and the death doman, naturually helps with the whole undead stick alot too Edit: ahhh dang, i forgot we do not have access to the domain of death in BG3 .....

[@thomasrosendahl2783]

The Necromancer subclass really starts at level 6 with stronger undead summons. Before that i presume you are also using the minor illusion + cloud of daggers trick?

[@remortisgaming]

No illusions here! Though I do lean on cloud of daggers quite a bit, I mean who wouldn’t? But the illusion > daggers combo can be super cheesy which is why I avoid it. But yeah it’s the main spells I use are Firebolt, Thunderwave… lots of thunderwave. Cloud of daggers and Magic Missile.

[@grimm76328]

Danger with Cloud, or any AoE that persists, is that NPCs have a tendency to walk through it thereby ruining a mechanism or interaction (Kahga fight, owlbear cub, harpies). Basically any time and NPC is in the fight with you there is a good change they'll just walk through damage vs avoid it. Enemies will avoid your darkness, fog, or hunger but those damned allies just walk right through it.

After getting your hands dirty with Karlach, you should have gone and sacrifice Wyll to the Kua-Toa Oh and get nakes when you get the Loviathar buff, it gives you a +4 to your rolls for that event. And you could go Highelf and start with the Druid Class for one level for armor+shield prof. Highelf also gives you the sleep immunity and of course the Cantrip+longsword prof. Dualwielding Phalar Aluve+that lightning staff could be nice early on and with dual wield feat, its one armor lost from using a shield (unless you go for the bracers with +2, then it would be even one more) P.S. your lucky with your amount of "friends" use.

Remortis what would you say your favorite game in terms of necromancer content is? You seem to like playing necromancer or edgy summoner types so I figure you might know some other options. I play necro whenever a game offers me the choice but that seems rare at this point

[@remortisgaming]

That’s a good question cause it changes over time. I used to love Diablo 2 but d3, d4 path of exile, and all those types of top down action RPGs don’t do it for me anymore. I think I like turn based stuff the best. Each game does something cool with Necromancy though. I’d probably have to say Pathfinder is probably some of my favorite necromancy playstyles to be from. Referring to the tabletop that is. DnD is solid too but 5e is very limiting compared to pathfinder.
