Arcane Prestige class needed.

[Ashtagon]

Nowhere in the book does it say that Dread Necromancers lose their Spellcasting ability if they change alignment. And I take it you did not view the link I gave you? However, if you stubbornly refuse to believe that Dread Necromancers can be Prestige Paladins, then I ask you to express these views elsewhere.

Dread necromancers can become prestige paladins, since there is nothing that prevents them. However, dread necro abilities are inherently evil by definition, so any time the multiclass character uses his dread necro abilities, he will immediately fall from grace and lose all his paladin abilities.

This thread was created to help me find a prestige class, not to discuss my build.

May I suggest five levels of lightning warrior then? Since you are clearly ignoring those game rules you disagree with, a few more shouldn't hurt your character at all.

Agreed. Paladins should under no circumstances cast necromancy spells.

 

[Wyvernhand]

Wow guys...quit taking this guys build so personally. Is the way he's playing hurting you? No. So bugger off. This is a board to be HELPFUL...not to flame people for their build choices.

Or to quote Thumper: If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

Yea, I just went all Bambi on you. How does that feel?

 

[Thrallherd]

If it will make you guys happy, listen to this: by level 12 (my first prestige paladin level) I will have access to the Druid and Cleric spell lists. There will be no need for me to use any of my Dread Necromancer abilities, because I'm already a powerful caster. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think using Rebuke Undead to fuel Divine Metamagic is evil.

The font of the dread.necromancers power is evil. They do not acquire spells as wizards do, they acquire spells in a vein more similar to sorcs. And that source of power is evil.

If they cease using their abilities and repent they can become prestige paladins but they cannot use any form of spellcasting as the inherent font of that power is evil.

Yeah, its failsauce.

You mean channeling negative energy, an act expressly forbidden good clerics, the plane of existence that fuels evil undead... Yeah, thats neutral. *snicker*

They shouldnt if what grants those spells is unholy. I know yoyre trying very hard to be clevrrrrr or something but tge pr pally is a special case.

The pr pally doesnt have independent spellcasting as a normal pally does. Unless youre saying the powers of good would grant their greatest champions a spell list of expressly evil spells?

I raped and murdered and butchered the innocent... So i could become a beacon of holy light.

GTFO

You know, looking back at five thousand years of human history and Eberron, this seems to be exactly how it works.

Also, you are going to find this next bit hilarious.

Look at the Repose domain. Check out which domain spells it offers.

 

[RUMBLETiGER]

How about making the Character a Hellbred race, (Fiendish Codex II p.78), with the Evil Exception ability? Circumvent the entire arguement?

Or, you know, not argue, since that's what the OP politely requested.

Necropolitan Dragonwrought Kobold (Child of Eberron) Dread Necromancer 1/Rainbow Servant 10/Prestige Paladin 4. I take Sword of the Arcane Order at level 15, giving me the ability to use Wizard spells in my Paladin spell slots. Rainbow Servant 10 gives cleric spell access. Child of Eberron (a dragon archetype) gives access to the Druid spell list. Since Dread Necromancer can spontaneously cast all spell on its spell list, and these factors add the spells to his spell list, he can spontaneously cast from all of them.

ok, ignoring the alignment problem for now...

Rainbow servant has an entry requirement of being able to cast 3rd level spells (specifically arcane). How does a 1st level dread necro have the ability to do that?

Also, by my reading, you have prestige paladin as your 15th level, not sword of the arcane order (which source book is that in, anyway?).

Edit: Misunderstood sotao as a class, not a feat. It allows you to prepare wizard spells in paladin spell slots. Except this build doesn't have paladin spell slots. Prestige paladin doens't grant spell-casting in its own right; it merley gives you additional casting ability in another class's divine spell-casting ability.
