Content

I'd originally been thinking to run the necromancer subclass poll again - but that doesn't really make much sense. I'd just be running it back-to-back every month, and it wouldn't really be changing much. So instead, what other class could use a necromantic sub? Some of these might be adequately covered by subs I've written in the past, but I think I can do a new spin on it, or it wouldn't be in the poll.

Some of these might wind up using the necromancer's minion mechanics, but no promises - they'll be trying more to carry the flavor than the exact mechanics.

Think you could do a Necro Blood Hunter? (The Matt Mercer custom class). Its only got 4 subclasses, and Blood Hunter NEEDS something vampiric

KibblesTasty has already done one, which is pretty good! (Hasn't been updated in ages, though). It's the only blood hunter I've personally considered playing. https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-M3m3W9Xk1j0V5rXniDV In general I only do homebrew-on-homebrew as commission jobs; partly because it's an intrinsically smaller audience, partly because I don't really want o be in the habit of playing in other peoples' sandboxes.

I can understand that. Thank you for the link!
