Overview

Necromancy is a standard power set that is a primary set for Masterminds.

"Command the forces of Death. Necromancy allows you to summon undead henchmen to do your bidding. Some Necromancy powers can even grant your undead henchmen additional powers. Most Undead Henchmen generally have good resistances to Cold, Negative Energy, and Psionic damage as well as Sleep, Fear and Disorient. Undead Henchmen cannot be resurrected."

Powers

Necromancy DarkBlast.png Dark Blast

A long range blast of dark energy. Deals moderate Negative Energy damage and reduces the target's chance to hit.

They cannot be healed, regenerate, upgraded, or commanded, but provide a good distraction. Enhancements in this power will also enhance the stats of summoned Specters. You may only have 1 Specter active per Necromancy attack.

Necromancy SummonLitch.png Lich

Summons a dark and powerful Lich. The Lich is an undead entity that, when alive, possessed many dark powers of his own. Perhaps it was a dark wizard, or powerful arch villain. Perhaps it was even a Necromancer. Now it only hungers for the souls of the living, and is quite good at feeding itself. The Lich specializes in dark control and draining powers. You may only have 1 Lich under your control at any given time. If you attempt to summon another Lich, the power will fail.

Spectral Forces: Activating this power has a chance to summon a Specter to your side! Specters slowly fade away over 90 seconds, even faster when attacking. They cannot be healed, regenerate, upgraded, or commanded, but provide a good distraction. Enhancements in this power will also enhance the stats of summoned Specters.

Necromancy SoulExtraction.png Soul Extraction

You can extract the souls from your Undead Henchmen and summon their spectral essence to do your bidding. The power of each soul is dependent upon the type of undead Henchman you extract it from, however it will always be one level lower than you. Unlike your other Henchman, these extracted Souls are only loosely bound to your control and will quickly move on to the next world. These Souls cannot gain new powers with Enchanted Undead or Dark Empowerment. If a Soul's original body is defeated then the Soul will also be defeated. If you activate Soul Extraction again while a Soul is active, it will simply be replaced.

Summons one to three Zombies (depending on your level) to do your bidding. Zombies are very tough but can be slow and stupid. They start out with only rudimentary melee attacks, but can be empowered with range and even life draining powers. You may only have 3 Zombies under your control at any given time. If you attempt to summon more Zombies, you can only replace the ones you have lost in battle. If you already have three, the power will fail.
