Talk:Wrappings of the Ages (3.5e Feat)

 * This is pretty much the only way to actually do necromancy, though. Also a flat improvement on the core necromancy rules, where you'd get even more powerful cohorts. Surgo 19:31, 30 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Why not a total encounter level equal to your CR-2 instead, or something? Eight creatures of your CR -2 is supposed to be four times stronger than yourself, and scaling with Charisma kind of precludes Wizard or Cleric necromancers. --Foxwarrior 19:38, 30 July 2012 (UTC)


 * At that point, I worry that the necromancer can't even show up with an actual army of undead -- which is kind of what is desired. I don't think there's any way to actually do necromancy and not avoid leadership issues...I think if you want actual PCs doing necromancy in the game, there has to be some sort of agreement with the DM :/


 * That said, your idea does not seem bad at all, and could work well. The Charisma scaling hardly precludes Clerics at all (which often have high Charisma score). Surgo 19:42, 30 July 2012 (UTC)


 * For a version made to bother PCs a bit more than NPCs, it could simply say that you only get to automatically control 1 (or 0), because it doesn't prevent you from making as many uncontrolled ones as you can find bodies for. Not that it specifies a time for that or anything. --Foxwarrior 19:45, 30 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Something to keep in mind about this that seriously reins in its power level -- unlike core Leadership (actually, all Tome leadership feats share this quality), no equipment is provided for any cohorts created by this feat. This greatly reduces the available power. Surgo 20:11, 6 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Tome is the one where people aren't supposed to hate wealth loops with a passion, though, and monsters usually get BS bonuses to stats such that they don't really need stat items to begin with. --Foxwarrior 23:38, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
