Line 118:
*** However, in Pathfinder, the oft-called 3.75:th edition, Necromancy Specialists gain the Command/Turn Undead ability as well.
*** As do the Dread Necromancer (see above)
** The 2nd Edition had a guidebook called ''The Complete Book of Necromancers'', as it seemed Necromancers had too much potential (as villains, mostly) to simply be a chapter in ''The Complete Book of Wizards''.
** A rare case of a Good-aligned Necromancer was detailed in ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon Magazine #283]]''. Danna of the Skull is a Necromancer of the Anatomist [[Prestige Class]] who uses her skills for forensic investigation, although her spellbook is not listed. Of course, the article where Danna appears is in one of their tongue-in-cheek April editions, and Danna is obviously meant as a parody of [[The X-Files|Agent Dana Scully.]]
* Used many, ''many'' times in various ''[[The World of Darkness]]'' gamelines:
** ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]'' had the Giovanni clan, a [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Mafia family of vampires with a long history of necromantic practices]]. The corpses served multiple purposes, one of them being that, [[Vampire Bites Suck|since the Giovanni bite causes a lot of pain]], they provided a more reliable means of blood than feeding on live humans.
