Necromancy Rebalanced 2.0 - Definitive Edition

CHECK OUT THE MOD ON THE NEXUS! [www.nexusmods.com]


Be sure to rate my mod if you enjoy its content!



At long last 2.0 is out, and with it come 9 new skills with custom made icons to enrich your necromancer playthrough!

The goal is to make pure necromancy builds more viable and fun in the early-mid game reducing the need to rely too much on other types of skills and/or respecing before having access to Grasp of the Starved, while also keeping the skills as close to the vanilla game as possible.

The Trader can be found outside Fort Joy, on the ruined bridge in Act 1, and in the deck of the Lady Vengeance in Act 2 and on. (Location shown in the video)

This mod does not require to start a new game.
