Breath of Life - The Dread Necromancer (Pathfinder 1E)

Here we are again, to breathe life into a class we loved from the 3rd edition of the well-known table-top RPG.

This time it's the Dread Necromancer, a necromancy (duh) and shadow focused class based of the class of the same name from that venerable game we all loved. We are taking the basics of the class, streamlining the mechanics and adding more Pathfinder oomph behind it. This class will be somewhere around the power of a cleric, though with much more restriction on its magical capacity. With its various talent options, you can turn into the undead master of your darkest dreams. It comes with a couple of archetypes to tailor its playstyle further, like the death's hand that turns it more like a necromantic magus. 

This book also provides additional class options and archetypes with necromancy and shadow influences, like the pale master wizard, death chanter skald, and shadow marauder cavalier. This goes further with undead rage powers, arcanist exploits, and an undead-focused cavalier order. There is also a first for us (by previous backer demand) a prestige class (the Sepulchral Theurge)! 

There are also a BUNCH of feats, spells, and magic items that compliment necromancy and shadow magic. Like a feats that enhance and protect your undead creations, several spells that raise targets as specific undead if they die from the spell, and magic items like a reusable bit of onyx to ease your undead creating.

Our goal is to raise enough funds to make sure we can provide a book with evocative art and continue to fund projects moving forward. We continue to keep our pledge to pay artists and NOT use AI. Just like we would not want the hobby to suffer from being replaced by AI slop, we don't want to fill our books with AI slop art. Buying art takes money though, so every pledge you make helps us continue to pay real human artists and writers.
