I would love to play a necro, its actually my goal to be able to play a successful necro. However I see everywhere, and in interactions with mages, not knowing wands makes you nigh useless. I WANT to be hunted, and have every login be stressful and difficult, but I also want to have a chance despite my ignorance.


***So put forth the effort into learning wands, there are helpful characters out there. Its not impossible***

Also, with humans vs halfies, is the difference of the 1 con really significant? It would seem 1 higher int and wisdom and dex at the cost of 1 con and str would be far superior for a necro...am I missing something?

Just a break down heres what you get/giveup
Humans: No penality, No vuln, one stat at 23 the rest at 20, for most cases you can't chose what stat you get at 23. This means you have a nice pk range for most of your life, IE lower level foes. Which is especially nice for someone like a necro.

Halfies: Not much of a penality, equal to orcs, I'd think its fair to say that 100 xp pen really never influences your pk range over-much.
A half iron/mithril vuln so you take an extra like 1/4 damage? I think
Quiet movement, though I think its terrain influenced now quiet movement can give you a chance to escape, or to reinate first.
In some cases halfies get 24 as a max stat. Though thats not always the case. As well as they usually have 21 wis, so compared to humans I'd say thats a big draw if your say a mage.
Or half-drow warriors/assassins have a big pull with that 24 dex.
