Following in the footsteps of Draconic Lore, Necromantic Lore contains more than thirty new undead, with half a dozen templates among them. These ghastly creations will haunt your players' dreams for years to come. They can cower before the soul-destroying power of the necromentals, or flee before the mind-shattering horror of the atrocity wight. Only a lucky few will survive to seek help from the guiding spirit and legion of the dead, but those who fall in combat may rise again as a foreverjack or an eternal confessor.
The undead in this bestiary were created to fill specific roles in your campaign. Whether you need a particularly challenging encounter to spring on your players or just want to add a touch of exotic flair to your world, Necromantic Lore has just the undead you're looking for.
