What You Will Need

This handbook is a supplement for the AD&D® role-playing game, and it assumes that the DM has the DUNGEON MASTER® Guide (DMG), the Player’s Handbook (PHB), and the either the first two MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM® appendices (MC) or the hardcover Monstrous Manual tome (MM).

Given the limited space and the tremendous breadth of the topic involved, it has not been possible to include every single necromantic kit, priesthood, spell, and magical item ever printed by TSR in this product. It would be convenient if the DM had access to the Tome of Magic (TOM), Complete Sha’ir’s Handbook (SH), Complete Wizard’s Handbook (WH), Complete Priest’s Handbook (CPrH), Arabian Adventures (AA), and the FORGOTTEN REALMS® Adventures (FOR) hardcover, but these resources should not prove strictly necessary. In this book, necromantic spells and magical items from these sources will be designated by the appropriate abbreviation. If the DM does not have access to these resources, feel free to substitute another item or spell.
