Necrology

Necrology was the in-depth field of study of undead creatures.

Knowledge
A necrologist could generally identify what type of undead a creature was, potentially even their weaknesses or natural defenses. They were also knowledgeable in the history of different undead, their dining habits, and where they were likely to lair.

Notable Necrologists

 * Doomguides, gray ones, and grimwardens &mdash;the specialty priests of the death deities Kelemvor, Myrkul, and Urogalan, respectively &mdash;were typically well versed in this field.
 * Necrophants, the specialty priests of the demigod of necromancy Velsharoon, were typically well versed in this field.
 * Yathrinshee, the specialty priests of the drow goddess of undead Kiaransalee, were always well versed in necrology.
