[Manly Man]

I dunno about the energy drain thing, I've made some Necromancers (and other casters) before who were really damn good at dumping negative levels (like, hitting double digits in a single round). And with ability damage, like I said, you go after smaller stats, like Dexterity on larger creatures or Charisma on ugly and simple ones. Ability damage might not be quite as common in FFd20 as it is in Pathfinder, but it's still there; a lot of classes have at least one or two spells or other abilities that deal ability damage or drain, the Necromancer especially, and poisons are still a thing, even if the Poison status effect is also a thing.
