He wishes to invoke and question the shade of Tiresias in particular however, he is unable to summon the seer's spirit without the assistance of others.
Under the direction of Circe, a powerful sorceress, Odysseus travels to the underworld ( katabasis) in order to gain insight about his impending voyage home by raising the spirits of the dead through the use of spells which Circe has taught him. The oldest literary account of necromancy is found in Homer's Odyssey. Traditional Chinese folk religion involves necromancy in seeking blessing from dead ancestors through ritual displays of filial piety. The Babylonian necromancers were called manzazuu or sha'etemmu, and the spirits they raised were called etemmu. In his Geographica, Strabo refers to νεκρομαντία ( nekromantia), or "diviners by the dead", as the foremost practitioners of divination among the people of Persia, and it is believed to have also been widespread among the peoples of Chaldea (particularly the Hermeticists, or "star-worshipers") and Babylonia. Necromancy was prevalent throughout antiquity with records of its practice in ancient Egypt, Babylonia, Greece, Rome, and China. Classical necromancers addressed the dead in "a mixture of high-pitch squeaking and low droning", comparable to the trance-state mutterings of shamans. Main article: Magic in the Graeco-Roman worldĮarly necromancy was related to – and most likely evolved from – shamanism, which calls upon spirits such as the ghosts of ancestors. The Classical Greek term was ἡ νέκυια ( nekyia), from the episode of the Odyssey in which Odysseus visits the realm of the dead souls, and νεκρομαντεία in Hellenistic Greek necromantīa in Latin, and necromancy in 17th-century English. The Koine Greek compound form was first documented in the writings of Origen of Alexandria in the 3rd century CE. The word necromancy is adapted from Late Latin necromantia: a loan word from the post-Classical Greek νεκρομαντεία ( nekromanteía), a compound of Ancient Greek νεκρός ( nekrós, or 'dead body') and μαντεία ( manteía, or 'divination'). In fictional settings such as Dungeons & Dragons, or fantasy video games, it is associated with the reanimation of corpses often meant to be used as weapons. Sometimes categorized under death magic, the term is occasionally also used in a more general sense to refer to black magic or witchcraft as a whole. I will try to get access to these features from my DM and report back with any progress.Necromancy ( / ˈ n ɛ k r ə m æ n s i/) is the practice of magical sorcery involving communication with the dead by summoning their spirits as apparitions or visions for the purpose of divination imparting the means to foretell future events and discovery of hidden knowledge. Anyway, hope that is at least enough to get you started! I wouldnt say ninja'd! Thanks so much for taking the time David, youre a saint. So, I would recommend either never opening them once they are working, or creating them as Character Sheet "abilities" on a macro mule (dummy) character or similar concept.
WARNING: Note that the Att/Dam macros above have special characters in them that are replaced with HTML replacement characters (like ! ) See wiki entry below: Through a quirk of roll20, if you save global macros (those made in the Macro tab) with these replacement characters, everything works unless you open them up again, which then reverts them to their original non-replaced character. You could then make a master api button macro (Called "Conjure-Animals" or whatever) that put all of these into clickable buttons, using the syntax (!#MacroName), like this: & It doesn't factor in critical hits, so if that is important to you, you'd have to roll some extra dice. each corresponding to the table of the same name. "8 Giant Owls" In general, you roll a rollable table in the chat like this, which would also be your macro text: /r 1t So, you could make a bunch of macros called "Arctic-Beasts", "Desert-Beasts", etc. Make each entry tell you how many of the corresponding type to summon, e.g. Evenly weight them or change the weighting however you like when you make the table. You could make one for each environment (only adding the CR 2, 1, 1/2, and 1/4 entries).

I gotta stop walking away from my PC in the middle of replying :) The wiki gives a decent overview of how to create your rollable tables. EDIT: Dang, 2nd time today I've been ninja'd on responses.
