What's evil about a necromancer who uses their magic to keep in touch with their dead parents?

You shouldn't need to study necromancy in order to simply commune with the dead.

There is a large gap between being a medium and reviving corpses and channeling death energy.
Matthew Edwards
Honestly when you think about it Skeletons and zombies are just respectively bone/flesh golems. You only get into lich territory when you shove an actual soul in it.
Even if your bone golem somehow awakened it's still an awakened golem and not technically undead.
However, this is not the case for D&D logic but I feel it should be that way.
Connor Murphy
Necromancy refers specifically to communing with the dead. It comes from ancient Greek and means "divination via a corpse". Raising undead or throwing around "death energy" is more... thuergy?
Easton Phillips
That is a good necromancer. They are doing their job class correctly.
Grayson Bell
Necromancy is literally being a medium through the dead user.
Josiah Sanchez
That's the rather archaic definition that's not really important compared to the modern definition in regards to traditional games.
You should know this.

The necromancy bit.

Except skeletons and zombies are unambiguously evil entities in their default, uncontrolled state.
Lucas Thomas
That, and they use lingering aspects of the soul, preventing proper rest for the spirit that ranges from an unknowable interference with the cosmic order to downright torture for the soul.
Andrew Cooper
That or they're animated with energy that is actively harmful to any and all living things.
Jackson Brooks
Brayden Reed
I love the idea of skeletons as bone golems
Ryder Powell
It's the most correct version, objectively.
Dominic Cook
Even so, he still stands correct Sir.
Levi Green
so keeping their dead parents from ascending to the outer planes? that's way more evil than animating corpses annon.
Brody Gonzalez
Necromancers are mages that study all things related to death, souls and the afterlife in general. They do this so that they can gain power over the dead, yeah, but it's obvious why taking the path would be necessary to learn how to commune with the dead.
Charles Miller
Most versions of necromancy either don't use the original soul for the reanimated dead (in which case you just filled your parents' bodies with an evil abhorrent life force) or souls aren't engineered to stick around after death and they suffer terrible ailments by being kept in this world. Just summon their ghosts if you really need to talk to them.

Yeah, those nerds sure are dumb for knowing what words mean.
Andrew Lewis
Honestly, the nerds who would go "Um, technically...." are the only type we used to beat the shit out of and pick on in school.
Turns out we were justified because all but a handful turned into hipster cunts.
