necro vs any other class woulda killed them in those two rounds. Seems only fair

Except...It's much easier to run from a melee character than it is from someone who has a 3 room reach. All you have to do is stay within that reach for another combat round and you die.

15 wraith's bashing means you probably arent going anywhere for about 3 rounds.

Okay...you have to be in the same room and you have to be in the front row. That's two big ifs. In fact, if you're in the front row you deserve to die.

wights with pikes. Trip.

...flight? Also wights take 3 hits to kill a piece. And wights are too much of a pain *wtf it changed female dog into puppy?* to use on a common basis (no innate flight and no armor).

I still dont see the need with any of this reasoning. Necros can use a word potion just like anyone else. If a necro came after you as another class, really, what would you options be?

Even if they did melee you and you were behind something, thats still a ton of hits cause if he is smart.

Just cause they can be 2 rounded when they can 2 round just about anyone else, doesnt really justify the argument. Its not that im against them having eth wands, I just think its a moot point.

I know of a LOT of ways to kill a necromancer having played one, but they won't be mentioned here to make my life more difficult.

Side note, this is why necros need to be the way they are.

Terrac walks in from the west.
Faerti walks in from the west.
Derk Thoms walks in from the west.
A fallow deer wanders in from the northwest.
A black male centaur walks in from the west.
A trinoceros walks in from the west.
A fire elemental soars in from the west.
Hanathena walks in from the west.
Ralith rides a snow-white mare in from the west.
A small male griffon soars in from the west.
A fire elemental soars in from the west.
Doran soars in from the west.

This group was gathered specifically to hunt me.
