Going from being able to create archdemons in a game, after playing a lot of necromancer on 3.5e and 2e games, soloing BG2:EE on legacy of bhaal as a necromancer, only to be unable to create meaningful undeads and cast powerful spells would be awful. Just my opinion.

I will check.

I don't get why 5e decided to nerf necro so hard. I mean, is not as if necromancy was the best 2e/3.5e specialization. Why take out all cool undeads which you can create and OHK spells?
