📋 About This Mod
Gives players a full-fledged version of the Incubate Death necromancy spell that's otherwise only available to a select few Myrkulite enemies.
Incubate Death
3rd-level
Range: 80 feet
Bonus Action
Spawn a skeletal involucre. After 1 turn, the involucre explodes, and births a necromite. Targets within 10 feet of the explosion must make a DC16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d8 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you may create an additional skeletal involucre per slot level above 3rd.
Natively available to nearly all spellcasters—check your spell lists. Upcast support for spell slots up to 9th level. The Warlock Spell List Fixer mod can cover any missing modded warlock subclasses.
