Wake the Dead
Once per long rest, you can summon 1d4+your tier of Thralls within your Zone of Influence, which is very close range. A Thrall will move with you if able to remain in your Zone of Influence, unless willed otherwise by the summoner. They will remain with you until your next long rest or you fall unconscious, where they will crumble into dust. At Tier 3, the number of Thralls you can raise increases to a d6+your tier
