Master of Death · Ranged DPS · INT

Necromancer

Living allies complain about marching, rations, and the smell. The dead are quieter. I bind an undead servant, lay curses upon flesh and spirit, and reshape life, bone, or pain—even when the price must be paid from my own vitality.

Cloth, staves, wands, scythes, and daggers are sufficient for one who lets minions stand nearer the danger. Alone or among the living, a Necromancer ensures every fallen body remains a potential resource.

Class modifier to race base stats: +4 DEX, +4 INT.

Bonus point advice

Intelligence directly increases spell damage and supplies the primary mana pool, so maximize it first. Put remaining points into Stamina for health and safer soloing, or Strength for carrying capacity. Dexterity is usually a low priority because this class rarely relies on physical attacks or weapon procs.

Choose for your playstyle: Favor Intelligence for maximum spell damage and mana. Choose Stamina for survival or Strength to carry more loot; choose Dexterity only for an unusual weapon-focused build.
