Review of the Rulelords 1 - Golarion Necromancer Class by Kevin Glusing

Review of the Rulelords 1 - Golarion Necromancer Class by Kevin Glusing

Introducing Infinite Adventures! A spinoff podcast by Pete of Rise of the Rulelords and co-host Beth Perrin! We'll be interviewing 3rd party authors and do deep dives into their materials to see how close to "Paizo official" they are. 

On this episode, we talk to Kevin Glusing of Samurai Sheepdog about his latest release: "Banned from the Boneyard: Golarion Necromancers"! The exciting book from the Infinite Master brings the necromancer back as a playable class, and introduced 8 necromantic studies relevant to Golarion! We go over how the class works, what each study brings to the table, spells, feats, and everything else this book has to offer!
