Quixotic
In the course of the year or two I've been playing this stupid game, I think necro spells have some of the coolest echoes associated with them. It is time I play a necro.
1. My biggest concern is that I don't often play in chunks of time lasting even an hour interrupted. Is there any point in playing a necro?
It's fine. You normally have decent success with the first zombie, which is enough to start doing stuff. You won't, however, be forcing melee types to run unless you messed them up first. You also won't get to the toughest parts of Thera.
2. Mummies and liches are the dream of most necro players. Are the quests for these strictly in the domain of the social clubs that hog access to certain pieces of gear, or can an outsider get involved in the crap-shoot that is immortality?
Mummies is completely automated. I've had mummy quests now, I think. One, I died despite getting the right things. Second, I died again, despite getting the right things. Third, I found I couldn't play, and deleted. In each case, there was at least one thing I didn't know and had to track down in some very obscure place. With one necro, I did it myself. With another, I asked around until someone knew something.
