Mechromancer (3.5e Class)
From D&D Wiki
Mechromancer[edit]
Mechromancers are few in number, and the flip side to normal Necromancers. They enjoy the power that summoning brings, but hate the idea of disturbing the dead. After decades of study and experimentation, they found a way to incorporate the powerful summoning technique of the Necromancers without abandoning their own personal beliefs of letting the dead rest in peace. Due to the random nature of the Mechromancer, they tend to be more chaotic in nature. They are cocky when it comes to their abilities, and tend to be prodigies at a young age. They very easily stand out in a group because of how charismatic and carefree they tend to be.
