📋 About This Mod
Cheb's Necromancy
A mod for Daggerfall Unity that adds Necromancy to the game as spells under the Mysticism school. It also adds an optional Necromancer class which starts with the Animate Dead spell.
The undead are clones of vanilla enemies but are allied to the player. They also have code attached to them which makes them follow the player, but the pathfinding isn't great. It's based off how the enemies pursue the player and works basically the same way.
