Necromancers are follower of [[Infuscor]] and powerful summoners who can swarm you with [[Zombie]]s and [[Skeleton]]s. Two variants of those magicians appear in the game, apprentices and masters. If you encounter a lot of undead or everything you kill comes back to life, there is a necromancer on the floor.

'''Chain mail''' is the lighter, more flexible armor. With comparable [[materials]], it will have slightly lower AV than plate mail, but will also weight less and have lesser penalties to [[Dex]] and [[Agi]]. However, as chain mail only generates made of metals, you can frequently find much lighter "plate mail" made of flexible materials such as [[leather]] - though the AV of such light armor will be very low.

The master necromancers are physically frail yet dangerous because of thier necromantic arts, but unlike apprentices they don't have to rely only on that. If you try to approach any master necromancer, they will likely [[teleport]] away and either blast you with lightning or summon more skeletons to make your life miserable. Therefore you should not only be prepared to deal with the undead, but have a source of electricity resistance prepared as well. Also note that the crystal skulls found in master necromancers' inventories are the only way how to get one, apart from [[Scroll of Change Material|transmuting]] a normal bone skull into a [[:Category:Light Crystal|light crystal]].

Apprentices can summon normal skeletons and will occasionally raise any humanoid corpse they can see as a zombie. Masters have learned how to summon more dangerous skeleton warriors, but the zombie-raising spell is still the same for them.
 
 
 
Several requirements must be met for a corpse to be eligible for reanimation: It must have been a living humanoid creature who left behind a body. Golems, bears, and angels are examples of creatures that cannot be raised, as they are a soulless construct, an animal and a corpseless extraplanar creature.
 
 
 
While you cannot summon your own skeletons, you can use the [[Wands|wand of necromancy]] to duplicate the Animate Dead spell necromancers possess, or you can simply [[Pets|tame]] one of them to do all the dirty work for you.

Body armor is a piece of armor that covers the torso of the player. It is one of the most important pieces of armor, as most of the enemy attacks will end up damaging your torso.


Types of Body Armor

Chain Mail

Chain mail is the lighter, more flexible armor. With comparable materials, it will have slightly lower AV than plate mail, but will also weight less and have lesser penalties to Dex and Agi. However, as chain mail only generates made of metals, you can frequently find much lighter "plate mail" made of flexible materials such as leather - though the AV of such light armor will be very low.

Plate Mail

Plate mail can actually either be called "plate mail" if made of any metal, or simply "armor" if made of a different material (eg. "leather armor" is still "plate mail"-type armor).

Plate mail is stronger, heavier and less flexible than chain mail, giving it higher AV but also higher penalties to Dex and Agi. Plate mails made of metal will have very high AV, but will probably burden any character without massive LStr. On the other hand, plate mails are also frequently found made of light flexible materials and such armors will be even lighter than chain mails, though their AV will be also considerably lower than of any metal armor.

However, if you can obtain a plate mail made of one of the better flexible materials (eg. Angel Hair or Spider Silk), those have the best qualities of any normal armor found in the game - they have high AV, low weight and next to no attribute penalties.
