Designing an undead cleric one-shot PC

[Pielorinho]

Okay, update. I've chosen the template; that's set in stone. THanks for all the ideas!

Does anyone have any ideas for spells or feats that he should take?

It'd be quite useful for us to know which was the chosen pathway into undeath. (read: template)

 

[Pielorinho]

It's a homebrew template; essentially, he died in a place of magic that has managed to keep him alive. He'll gain the basic undead traits (immunity to crits, for example) and pretty much nothing else. And he'll be a fifteenth-level cleric who can rebuke undead. And we'll be going into a place that may be heavily trapped by magic, may be heavily guarded, and will have at least some undead guardians.

Given that he can only take necromantic, divinatory, and healing spells from the sourcebooks mentioned in the OP, what suggestions would y'all make? And what would you suggest as powers for a sword containing the essence of a God of the Paths: a god who watches over travellers, who knows the future and the past, and who guides souls between life and death?

What's this feat?

Spells: Un/Hallow, Un/Holy Aura, and Righteous Might are really good, but that limitation of Diviation and necromancy really bites

Well since the DM is allowing Relics and Rituals, have you looked at the Crypt Lord Prc. I would definatly recomend taking at least a one level dip in this class to get the Extended Necromancy ability. It allows you to cast any transmutaion spell that relates to the modification of the body (the examples they give are bulls strength, cats grace, and polymorph) as necromancy spells. That would greatly open up your spell options.

As far as feats, Toughness (or if you can get your DM to let you take improved toughness) would help offset the lack of HP's from not having a Con.
