[@Kitty]Ah, sorry if I was unclear. Wood and paper is indeed organic matter that is no longer living. He would need to make joints in it. For paper he'd fold it like origami. For wood he'd have to carve hinges and the like, which would be very involved. He can do corpses, and he might if he feels he's pushed. But he's squeamish about it. He's not a hardened killer. He's just some dude in a bad situation.

And in that case I'll prolly go human then.

So are you saying you want to make golems? Because you could do that another way perhaps via earth and life manipulation instead of necromancy under just life manipulation. It would make much more sense if that is what you wanted to do.
