it'd be neat if you could grind up those bones and components into rust/ore/bonemeal/other useful bits

I would like a paladin or deathknight class but I guess we do have blackguard for that but I know my brother would love the necromancer class I like the holy warrior in most rpgs because thats just my playstyle being a mid healer and a versatile warrior I wish I knew how to create mods but I am not skilled at or have any talent for it if I was to give the paladin a negative trait it would be the base game trait kind and a custom negative trait that makes them weak when attacking a trader or a player that has commited a crime Example murdering a merchant or in place of that they are weaker in darkness and take double damage in complete darkness.

The discord in the mod page has the classes mod I'm working on, with models and progress reports, etc. I'll be starting the necromancer there too, if you wanna watch as it gets made

I am so ridiculously happy to hear there's a necromancer mod in the works.

IICubeII The current plan is to use the ribs as ingredients for a bow, add sinew drops for the bowstring, and be able to craft bone arrows from the ribs. 

In regards to the necromancer class, this mod will be a dependancy for it, I'm not going to make this mod the class mod. I have an entire class mod that's being made, that will be uploaded on its own

Could just act like bones for some, letting the player display them on antler mounts. Fleshy items could slowly turn into rot. Bowtorn ribs could be used to fashion a low-high tier bows. Whatever you do, keep it simple. Maybe make the necro class another mod all together so people can pick if they want that addition. Also, there's always drifters to kill, meaning whatever you do - will be a fairly abundant thing for people to have. There's a few resorces that are harder to get mid-early game that these dudes could fill in the blanks for... like with rot! Keep the mod fairly light and simple and I'm sure tons of folks will use it. Cool idea!

Thrungler mind if you add me on discord? Those are some good ideas I'd like to expand upon in a more organized chat

Claw weapons could be cool, maybe a sickle and scythe could be made from claws or jaws? personally, I'd love being able to make a bow from bowtorn ribs, Bonus points if we can craft ammo from them too in order to send those annoying things' spears back at them!

I absolutely endorse finding some way to make the bell into a hat or helmet so that players can become nightmare fuel... and think it'd be funny if it could be turned into a functional town bell with a chance to summon drifters

If you're doing a necromancer class, you could make the bell a component to conjuring undead under your command, be that in a ritual to obtain a minion, or as an item used to tell your thralls to attack and follow.

And armor... maybe it could be something like improvised wood armor where you can make some basic armor with ropes, ribs, and claws, or go as advanced as some rusty brigandine with shiver jaws as pauldrons with a helmet that's like claws wrapping around your face and head... I'm no artist, idk how complicated that'd be, I'm just saying if I can go around like some kind of rust knight, I'd never take the armor off and nothing would be safe around me...

Maybe armors and weapons?
