ZOMBIE MASTER
An undead melee class based around creating, commanding, and bolstering undead. Basically a more narrowed and focused version of the necromancer wielding a zombie army while being an undead yourself. Without the perks of being a wizard.
Lore
An ancient and mostly forgotten order of necromancers came together to forge living tomes drenched and infused with necrotic power to keep some level of balance in the world. Each tome could forge a powerful bond with it's owner granting them powers of undeath.The tomes could only bind to those empty of magic power. Tomes choose who they bind with, considering who is worthy of wielding such power. The owners came together and formed a loosely tied alliance to fend off those who disapprove of their very existence. They came to be known (when not confused with necromancers) as zombie masters.
