📋 About This Mod
INSTALLATION
COMPATABILITY
Compatible with 5eSpells, UnlockLevelCurve, and Animate Dead ++ (supports Undead Automation) and Shadow Sorcerer Subclass.
UPDATE: No longer compatible with Valkrana's Spellbook. I'm not down to always keep everything up to date. I'll try to keep up to date with Animate Dead and 5e Spells, but that's as much time as I can invest. Sorry.
Highly recommend using at least Animate Dead ++ with this mod and leaving the Crawling Claws to the AI.
MOD MANAGER
Tested with Vortex Mod Manager, but should also work with BG3 Mod Manager
Necromancy Expanded has to come AFTER 5eSpells, UnlockLevelCurve, and Animate Dead ++ (as well as any optional mods from these 3 sources)
WHAT'S IN THIS MOD?
Essentially, this mod allows you to play a more diverse Necromancer Wizard or Death Domain Cleric by adding more Necromancy spells that allow you to summon different Undead Creatures under your command.
Raise Hand (1st level Necromancy)
Available in the Druid, Wizard, Warlock, Death Domain and Shadow Sorcerer Level 1 spell lists
Destroys one small or larger corpse and summons 1 Crawling Claw (see stats below) under your command.
Upcasting
1st Level => Target a total of 1 corpses, get 1 claw
2nd Level => Target a total of 1 corpses, get 2 claws
3rd Level => Target a total of 2 corpses, get 3 claws
4th Level => Target a total of 2 corpses, get 4 claws
5th Level => Target a total of 3 corpses, get 5 claws
6th Level => Target a total of 3 corpses, get 6 claws
7th Level => Target a total of 4 corpses, get 7 claws
8th Level => Target a total of 4 corpses, get 8 claws
9th Level => Target a total of 5 corpses, get 9 claws
The claw uses the DnD 5e Stats for a crawling claw to keep this spell somewhat balanced. During testing I haven't found any early game scenarios that break, even with 10 of these in the encounter.
Note: This spell is actually 5th level, 1st level in the screenshots was just for testing purposes
Forge Flesh Golem (5th level Necromancy)Available in the Druid, Wizard, Warlock, Death Domain and Shadow Sorcerer Level 5 spell lists, as well as via Bard's Magical Secrets
Necromancy Expanded adds two new Necromancy spells, 'Raise Hand' and 'Forge Flesh Golem', letting players summon two new types of undead. A compact class mod with 601 endorsements and nearly 50k downloads, last updated in September 2023.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 601 endorsements and nearly 50k downloads.
- Straightforward addition—two new spells that slot right into Necromancy builds.
- Last updated in 2023, so it's relatively recent for a class mod.
⚠️ Cons
- Only two spells—if you're looking for a full overhaul, this won't scratch that itch.
- No details on spell scaling, requirements, or balance—could be hit or miss in endgame.
- No mention of compatibility with other Necromancy mods—might conflict if you run several.
For Necromancy players who want a bit more variety in their undead army without a massive overhaul. If you're a summoner build enthusiast, this adds two quick options. Skip if you want deep class changes or new mechanics—this is a small, focused addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check your mod manager's load order—place this after other Necromancy mods to avoid overwrites.
- Test the new spells on a dummy or low-level enemy first to see how they scale with your current skill level.
- If you're using a mod that changes Necromancy skill trees, verify that the new spells appear in the correct menu.
