Traits

  • Undying

    When the necromancer drops to 0 hit points, it returns with 20 hit points at the start of its next turn unless the killing damage was radiant or the body was destroyed.

  • Grave Sense

    The necromancer knows the location and manner of death of every body within 300 feet.

Actions

  • Multiattack

    The necromancer makes two Withering Touch attacks or casts one spell.

  • Withering Touch

    +7 to hit · reach 5 ft.

    3d6 + 4 necrotic damage

    A necrotic touch from the necromancer's hand.

  • Raise the Hall

    This action recharges after a long rest. Four skeletons or two zombies rise within 30 feet and act on the necromancer's initiative. They crumble when it is destroyed.

  • Enervate

    One creature within 60 feet makes a DC 15 Constitution save, taking 6d8 necrotic damage on a failure or half as much on a success. Its hit point maximum is reduced by the damage taken until it finishes a long rest.
