Have you ever wanted to play a Dark Paladin Necromancer in Dungeons and Dragons? Well now you can!
D&D doesn't really do the Necromancer justice so I decide to fix that with this build. While Necromancers historically stay back and let them minions to the dirty work, I thought it would be really cool to play as a Fallen Paladin style of play similar to that of The Lich King.
This Necromancer build is all about commanding your undead minions to distract and overwhelm your enemies while you cleave them in twain with your two handed greatsword!
So sit back and enjoy as I take you through how to Build a Dark Paladin Necromancer in Dungeons and Dragons 5e

you could also do the curse one to get a sword imbued with runes to really hit those WoW deathknight vibes OR go down the route instead of eldritch armor do have heavy armor you can always justify as looking like badass deathknight gear as your bond with it corrupts it into a fitting form ;D

@wesdean9128 12 часов назад

Your combat example is a bit flawed, I think. Doesn't Animate Dead take a minute to cast? You'd have to have it precast before the combat. I do like your necrotic heals in the build, though. I'm currently playing an Oathbreaker Hexblade with basically the same rotation. Wish I could add the necromancer wizard in to the mix, but he dumped int, so I'm just SoL on that one. lol

This is honestly one of the best death knight builds I've come across. Very flavorful and seems to be strong too. I personally don't put as much value in the cleric dip. Going 4 in paladin and 7 wizard gives you 4th level spells in exchange for 2 caster levels. You also swap a WIS minimum for STR which you would also need to move in heavy armor without a penalty. With so many stat requirements you'd really only get 1 or 2 uses of the war clerics BA attack. I honestly might use this template for a villain in a campaign, it's really good. Excited to see the rest of your videos now that I've found your channel

@ThisCrits 5 месяцев назад

Wow, thats a huge compliment! I really appreciate it! And Cleric is definitley the easiest class to change up in the build! I really like the idea of swapping the paladin in there! Thanks so much! You'll have to let me know how that villain build goes!

@Galatorm 4 дня назад

Taking artificer could offer some nice alternative to get the armors or weapons that you crave. Still I would pick Paladin for the Smite, at least 2 level. (also fighting style.) You can always pick 1 cleric level if you feel it offers you something no other classes does, but more warlock or wizard seem more logical to me.

@ThisCrits 4 дня назад

I didnt consider artificer! That could be a fun build!

@Altheniar 5 месяцев назад

I love the build, now I'm playing a similar concep but focused on debilitate and control enemies whit necromancy. I used artyficier+necromancer. Imho adding a point buy or stat preference order will help a lot of people.

@ThisCrits 5 месяцев назад

Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed! Ill add that to my next builds!!! That also sounds like a fun build!

I’m newer to D&D and wanting to run this build however, when I click the build link and go to spells it only shows cleric. I thought you mentioned wizard spells earlier in the vid. Am i operating the build guide wrong or did I just miss understand the examples in the vid?

To bad you'd need 12 level in Warlock, because Lifedrinker requires that level. And what was allready said, needs to many stats at 13 points. But nice thought. 👍

@ThisCrits 5 месяцев назад

I mistakenly thought it was 12 character level. Thats a bummer but even without there are plenty other great invocations that can be picked up! Thanks! 👍

@NoZignature 5 месяцев назад

i really think going 5 levels in cleric is a mistake. you lose out on bigger spells from warlock or wizard and the new spells you get is dependent on your wis which is a low priority(after cha, int, con and even str which needs to be at 15 for heavy armor) . since the only thing you mentioned from cleric that you wanted was at first or second level, i wouldnt invest more into cleric than the bare minimum. Theres a lot of cool spells that you have access to and i think theres a lot to gain from using more than just 2 spells. with this build you can use stuff like Cone of cold, Shadow of Moil, Dimension door, hypnotic pattern, fear etc etc i think it would have made sense to mention some of all the other stuff your build is capable of! Personally im not a fan of trying to get a lot of minions on the board since it takes a lot of time to resolve and that really bogs down combat - i try and focus on getting one big summon with the spells from Tasha's. Personally for a death knight i think i would go paladin 6 and either warlock or sorcerer the rest of the way to get some nice big summons with my concentration and smites + defensive spells like mirror image and shield. Cool video tho im looking forwards to your next one! :D

@ThisCrits 5 месяцев назад

Yea, A lot of people are bringing up the paladin but I thought having higher level spell slots would be more valuable than the paladin levels which is why I went for Cleric. That being said, Cleric is by no means necessary and could honestly be entirely replaced with paladin levels if you wanted to get access to your smites! For this build's concentration focus I valued the extra 2D8 you get for attack with Spirit Shroud over more powerful undead as I viewed them more as a shield. That being said, I would love to see a build like you are eplaining fully explored! Thanks you! I am really glad you enjoyed!!!

@@ThisCrits I am myself doing kind of,sort of similar build of hexblade 7 /conquest pally 13 so that both would have level 4 spells. Not sure if it could have higher level slots though He is like Dredd on steroids. Btw have you thought about creating builds for other famous characters,like for example mcu's roster of heroes, or Grey Necromancer Astoshan from one of stories on All The Things DnD youtube channel if I remember correctly

@ThisCrits 5 месяцев назад

@@MsKeylas That sounds like fun! I really like mixing and matching different classes so this kind of video is really fun for me lol. As for have I thought about making more build videos like this yes I have. I have a couple older ones I did but am looking into new ideas going forward with this kind of style. I can't say build videos will be super frequent because they do take a lot of time to create the build, create the assets, record, and edit the video but I do plan on making more!

@MsKeylas 5 месяцев назад

@@ThisCrits will be looking forward to new videos. In regards to the character. First time I played him, we had campaign of looming Githyanki invasion,My character switched from following Helm to following Kelemvor,since in the eyes Helm was being complacent and was doing shitty job protecting realm from undead and other threats. Along the length of campaign before I left because of disagreements with Dm my character took the only surviving member of bandit group who attacked them,a teenager,female bandit under his wing as an apprentice and sent to the Kelemvors temple to study to become a cleric, instead of wasting her life being a bandit and ending in the noose, or bring killed like other bandits, made alliance with both orc filled fortress in the mountain region and with Alustriel of Silverimoon in essence working to unite all realms forces,whenever good or bad under his iron fist, also he had habbit of collecting holy symbols from leaders of followers of evil gods,and carrying those symbols hanging slightly below his belt. He also eliminated almost anyone who stood in his way if they werent smart enough to move out of the way. Fun times xddd
