Necromancers have the following class features:
DARK ART
As a necromancer, you have long studied the dark energies of the Shadowfell, learning to command its power over the bodies and souls of the living and the dead. Some necromancers prefer to manipulate flesh and bone, while others choose to wield the power of shadow directly. Choose either Fleshcrafter or Soulweaver. The choice you make grants you specific features and also provides bonuses to certain necromancer powers, as detailed in those powers.
FLESHSHAPER
The body, living or dead, is your canvas. By infusing the flesh with the power of shadow you can shape it to make your masterpieces.
Potent Blood: Whenever you use a necromancer power that restores hit points to a bloodied ally, or to you if you're bloodied, increase the number of hit points regained by your Constitution modifier.
Will to Flesh: While you are not wearing heavy armor, you can use your Constitution modifier in place of your Dexterity or Intelligence modifier to determine your AC.
SOULWEAVER
Your command over the spirits of the dead is unmatched.
