Necropolis discussions.

I have a question. In what order should I take abilities and perks (and which ones, of course) to get the maximum benefit at the start when fighting neutrals or humans, especially if the latter decides to rush me!?

P.S. To get perfect necromancy, you'll need an art pendant of mastery.

What is an art pendant of mastery? Can you provide more details?
Ah, I get it now. Can't you take "Necromancy" as a skill?

I like taking "Luck," it's a good bonus, then "Soldier." It's better to take "Education" right away; stats will start to increase quickly. I develop "Spellcasting" to distract enemies.
