10-12-04, 10:19 AM I have a question that I'm a little confused about.

It says a necromancer's undead companion gets +1 warrior level per wizard level.

I'm a little confused as to how that works, since skeletons don't normally advance in that manner. (In fact, they don't really advance at all.)

Two basic questions:

1. Since they have an NPC class, do they get NPC stats? (13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8).

2. Do I calculate their BaB as warriors (1/level) or undead (1/2 HD)?

It explains how they gain power in the third paragraph of the Skeletal Minion description.
