Re: Crusader's Companion Necromancer

Thanks for the thoughts all, they are much appreciated. Seems there are more than enough Necromancers to go around.

On another note, howdy serleran, it's been a long time. How goes the gaming?

<t>I find it to be less of a problem in C&C than most other similar games. C&C's creature saving throw system gives many creatures a good chance against many spells.<br/> <br/> That alone gives the CK more tools to work with than the magic immune. <br/> _________________<br/> Baron Greymoor<...
