If you are fairly new to the game, necromancers are among the more difficult classes to play. They're fragile, hard to form groups with, and have big bullseyes painted on them for storm giants and other goodies. If you want a taste of the character, I'd suggest an Anti-Paladin first. They're more of a hybrid, but they're easier to keep alive, and quite potent over all ranks. The races I've seen do well as AP's are mostly humans, duergar, fire giants, and felar- the other high-dex races suffer without dodge, and A-P's have little in the way of defense, so lots of HP are nice.
