Shattered Kingdoms

Reading the ranged spell thing I think necromancers are the only caster class without a ranged spell. Now with the change to necromancers they really need something to offset the fact that they cannot concentrate on higher spells past a small group. I know this may [REDACTED] of a lot of Hellions but maybe give necromancers Hellfire. I mean if a shaman can heal and cure things without worshiping a god like priests and pallys do I do not see why necromancers cannot get hellfire*

*Unless Hellfire is not a ranged spell of course.

I know this may sound like QQ and the necromancers can use wands, scrolls and staves. However if you keep any caster class and a necromancer one room away from one another the necromancer will die 100% of the time.

Hellfire is not a ranged spell. As far as I know, there isn't currently a ranged spell that would fit the necromancer "context." However, they are the only casters who don't get a ranged spell.

What ranged spell do Hellions get?

Too right, forgot about them for some reason. I don't generally consider paladins and hellions pure casters, I suppose. However, I think paladins get a ranged spell though I don't know for sure. So, necromancers and hellions are the two casting classes without a ranged spell.

Giving hellions a ranged spell is like giving them a shotgun on a mud with swords and shields.

However, they do need intimidate to work from range. Either that or the 'slow' spell.

Give them finger of death. That's pretty slow.

Or... just give them the finger.

Necromancers don't need a ranged attack. They have other things for luring and ranged combat isn't what they are about.

If we're going to just up and talk about anything, then give dwarves another point of int. They are stupid. I want a dwarf bard but they can't sing and dance at the same time. They are to dumb. To hell with it!

If necromancers get a ranged spell, I will never play anything but a necromancer. Don't do it.
