• A dedicated necromancer class for OSE and compatible old-school fantasy games.

• 72 spells for use with the necromancer or other spellcasters including such creepy delights as corpse visage, carrion stench, vampiric touch, wall of bones, veil of life, and necrotic gaze.

A harbinger of horrors to come, Old-School Essentials: The Necromancer is a playtest document previewing content from an upcoming OSE supplement all about necromancy and the undead.

Whether you love or revile the necromancer, don't forget to send feedback on your playtest experience to summon@necroticgnome.com and inform the future of fear!
