Necromancer. This should be a thing.

It will be added in the next chapter, either that or another class but Necromancer is way more popular

It should be it's own sort of faction (kind of like not part of any faction but itself, but even other necromancer's don't always get along, think a dog eat dog world for those of us that would like to try that out) and despised and rejected by all others. You could have necro only guilds, but they would also still be able to attack each other if they so choose. It should be allowed to attack all factions and all factions should be able to attack it...

Nah.
Necromancy may be frowned upon, but there is ample evidence for it among the alliances - from the breton general invading Stonefalls to the dunmer mage secretly worshipping Molag Bal and wanting to enslave chimer spirits in the same region, from the occasional dunmer raider in Auridion to a altmer messing with ancestral spirits to make trouble for queen Ayrenn, from rouge necromancers in the alik'r to imperial generals here or there... heck, even every vestige that came far enough dabbled in necromancy at least once by making an flesh atronarch...

It's among the alliance but once your full necro...The ones still hiding and toying with spells and dark arts are not part of our kingdom. Merely pawns. This where I give way for the strict pver's. The necros who are not known and try to hide it throughout the series aren't full on outcasts and have not mastered the power of Necromancy. They are just dabbling. Some reject after experimenting. Some go full mannimarco :P I do like your lore knowledge and jousting.

This is a great thread and so far has far more and much more substance than I expected. Were official when the mathematicians join the fray.

You draw a good point that I wish to illustrate my self. It doesn't have to be a completely pigeon holed thing in the game. Sorry if I use that term repeatedly but I see the class and the independence from factions, but yet tamed by the factions, as more of a calculus than basic arithmetic. That is the beauty of it though for those that have a taste of this sort of experience in the MMO's of OLD OLD....

This could be and should be something that appeases all and benefits the game as whole if so much time is to be invested. There is a reason in the first post I did not mention some of my ideas and that is because those that hate the pvp angle would never have even given the thought the time of day...

What if you could sacrifice one of your existing class skill lines for Necromancy?

You mean for people who come into a topic they know they're going to not like and crap all over it? Yeah, we could use one of those.

Nah. Necromancy is a skill set like any other... one that has a rather bad reputation (deservedly), and which people in the alliances thus may not wish to advertise overly much, due to possible drawbacks... pretty much like your dark brotherhood membership card, for the same reasons.

Now, -Worm Cult- necromancers may indeed be apart from all alliances and happily bend over for Molag Bal the King of Ra... uhm... guess I can't really mention that one of his titles here on the forums... but they are the ones apart from all alliances and cooking their own... soup.
Which is why those will remain NPCs - way too much trouble to code that sort of "apart from alliances" thing for player characters...

Well, when its this particular topic...

...beating the dead horse (with necromancy) might actially do something!

Holy crud that zombie horse is disturbing, and what makes it disturbing is that it's so amazingly done. Whoever did the textures/painting on that should get a raise. I wonder if they'll bring it back for the Halloween event.

We do have a quite a lot of "Necromancers" already.
