This is what I'm talking about. It would be a shame to have a subclass that's going to be far less viable than other alternatives right out of the gate. I don't know if Larion reads these boards, or responds to players, but I'd really like to know their thoughts as well. If this is going to be locked to 5e Rules and spells then Necromancy may not be a viable subclass without substantial and unique roleplay elements and given the exponential amount of work (race/class/subclass) that could add to responses and interactions I doubt we'll see much use.

If they find certain classes aren't being used they may (or may not depending on WOTC) improve things.
