Editing Necromancer (section)

===3e===
3rd edition attempted to bolster the arcane necromancer through the use of [[prestige classes]], like the "True Necromancer" (which required [[Mystic Theurge|multiclassing as a wizard and a cleric]]) and the "Pale Master". [[White Wolf]], you'll be un-shocked to hear, went all-in with [[Relics & Rituals]]'s Crypt Lord and that whole [[Hollowfaust]] booklet. Results were... kind of mixed.

As for the 3e side, they did shit like create the Master of Shrouds, a necromancer PrC specialized in controlling ghost-type undead... which only the [[Cleric]] can access. In regards truly fixing the necromancer, the closest they probably came was with a pair of alternate classes: a Necromancer class based on the [[Diablo]] II class, in their [[Blizzard]]-sponsored D20 game "Diablo II: Diablerie", and the [[Dread Necromancer]], a [[Sorcerer|Charisma-based spontaneous caster]] alternate class from [[Heroes of Horror]].
