Handling a Necromancer for Dungeon Masters & Players in DnD- GM 911
Original GM 911 Post
Hey Guys,
I have recently switched my wizard from a lore wizard to a necromancer due to the lore wizard not being released in Xanathar's Guide. As it stands we are 11th level so I can maintain around 38 zombies/skeletons. I currently only run around with 8 skeletons/zombies. I would like to run around with more but I am afraid that it would take away from the rest of the party as far as combat is concerned. I have never played a necromancer nor have I ever played with one before either so I am not sure where to really draw the line. Lots of the necromancer abilities deal with animate dead so I would like to use the spell but I don't know how much is too much and want to make sure that the rest of the party is still having a good time, especially in regards to combat.

I guess the questions boil down to:
1.) How much is too much as far as summons go for animate dead?
2.) How as a DM should you handle a Necromancer in a campaign?

Thank you for the help and really love the show :)

Thank you,
Andy
