I have a distinct love for the concept of the minion master necromancer archetype yet for rp reasons want an arcane caster, not divine. However, I cannot port the dread necromancer from 3.5e and as a result am thin on options. My first idea is to be a necromancer wizard or necromancer...

I've always found the fact that wizards are behind clerics in undead animation to be annoying. While pathfinder mitigates that a bit, it still at base dose not eliminate the issue. Thus, I have decided to make my own archetype for an animation and necromancy focused wizard, with the fluff of a...

Yeah, but the summoner is still short on options when compaired to the wizard, cleric and other "tier 1" classes. While Oracle, which I have rolled before, is a darn good necromancer, the reason I was looking at the wizard was more due to the fact that it is a necromancer, while also being a...

Yeah, I know the oracle is good for this since i've played it and immedatly gravitated towards it since it's about as close as one can get to the Dread Necromancer(Favorite 3.5e class.) in pathfinder. However, like the DN and Sorc, it is short on options, and as a result I was wondering if the...

As the title asks. In 3.5e, the Wizard was generally labled as a poor class for the minion-mastery part of necromancy and if you wanted that you where generally better served with a cleric or dread necromancer. However, in pathfinder, it seems like that may not be the case anymore. With wizards...

That would work, to some extent. Though there is still the issue that Wizards don't get undead animation spells until 4th level casting while a cleric still gets it at level 3. As for the lack of desecrate, a zone of desecration feat which was an arcane caster exclusive feat would help that...

While I am unsure of it's balance due to the lack of response posts, I have created a base class version of the True Necromancer PrC which is strictly an arcane casting base class rather then a theurge type PrC. The TN Reduxe...

There are some PrCs that have awesome flavor but in crunch just fail. Thus, I have taken it upon myself to transform and reinvent some of these maligned PrCs, keeping the concepts and some of the powers of these classes while making them into fully playable base classes that keep the spirit of...

Yes, but undead mastery requires you to take at least 8 DN levels, and the OP was already uneasy about taking 4 DN levels. However, while the 8 DN levels may be a lot, if your DM rules it dose in fact work on the dead walks, then the 8 DN levels are most definitely worth it. If you want to take...

Inspired by Magic the gathering and other such works which have wizards who specialize in artifice but also pack a magical punch I came up with the crazy idea of a wizard/artificer hybrid. I have no idea how optimal that would be, or if it's even worth it, but I like the idea of a character who...

Arcane spell failure DOSE apply for the devoted necromancer's spontaneous inflict spells. As for the spell list, it's the same as a wizard. This is a variant class much like a cloistered cleric. It's not it's own base class and therefore uses the wizard/sorc spell list.

Yes, but we don't know if that book will have the full class or just new powers/builds. Mainly because the Assassin was supost to be DDI specific so the heroes of shadow book may only be new powers/builds rather then actual classes and the classes will be DDI exclusives, like the assassin. I'm...

For those who thought I needed an undead horde, that was not my intent at all. I'm sorry if the OP came off that way. Also, thanks for the all info. I suppose I should stay current with what is going on. I was completely unaware of the dragon mag's summons, a lot of which work nicely for what...

But will I be able to have any summons at heroic at all? Is there a good level 1 daily summon? Because a necromancer with no undead is not a necromancer, in all honesty. So if I have to wait until paragon to actually have undead minions I can summon that's not a good thing for my character...

I've always wanted to play a 4e necromancer yet it's difficult to find anybody who will allow third party content like Scythe and Cowel by Goodman Games and other takes on the 4e necromancer. People tell me "just refluff X class" but I don't like that for one reason...ability scores. Simply put...

I'm looking for a RL play group now that my older playgroups have all but broken up. I have not played true D&D with a full group for quite some time and my RPGing has been relegated to mostly 1 on 1 adventures with my girlfriend where I am the DM and she plays the only PC that is not a DMPC...

Espcially with a Druid in the party. While I myself am guilty of sometimes taking "sup-par" classes like True Necromancer(though it was a fixed version which gets 9ths on both sides via making it advance both the arcane and divine side at every level.) and Pale Master, I tend to be equal parts...

While I do love homebrew, I'm rather guilty of using the homebrew of others for my campaigns. The main reason being I'm never sure if anything I make is balanced and such. I have, however, made this little class variant here, and I have used it before. However, I want opinions on it. Not stuff...

While I know what I'm about to recommend may not be exactly what your looking for, but you said you wanted to be good at melee and be able to tank so here is my strange suggestion..... Dread Necromancer. Yes, stare in shock. A Dread Necromancer at lower levels can be one of the best melee...

I see, I was not aware of the Beta playtest. I got into pathfinder after the full core rules where released. The only playtests I have are the ones with the non-core classes like the oracle, witch ect.. I never saw the original beta playtest with the wizard and other core classes. I thank you...
