Message: <blockquote data-quote="NEXxREX" data-source="post: 5668680" data-attributes="member: 6681393">iv played dread necros for an entire epic campaign and their awesome but you all are missing the point, dread necromancer.........IS A NECROMANCER. he relies on being able to hide behind undead or other party members, their more resilient then mages but depending on their con scores they usually dont have that many HP so if they really need to use their charnel touch in combat then their playing the class wrong. cause a wand of cure mod is like what 4.5k for 50 charges and thats if your dm doesnt increase the price which cant be much if he didthe tombtainted soul is just a bonus so he can heal himself as well as summoned or constructed undead (and at lv8 he gets undead mastery so he can have 4+cha mod/hd of undead with animate dead) which is a hell of alot. its more about utility beign able to heal your created undead if nice cause THERES NO OTHER WAY TO DO IT BEISDES INFLICT WOUNDS (so if you blow your spell you got to wait a day or longer depending where you are) and the flavor is nice which if your playing in a good aligned party that doesnt know your evil gets really fun making will saves when your party tries to heal you.and the healing cap just makes it viable out of combat, but during combat 1d8+ 1 pt evry 4 lvs......i mean cmon its pathetic at higher levels. and the tomb-tainted soul is more useful with negative energy burst for emergency healing of 1d4 per class level in a 5 ft area around you, so surround youself with undead and heal yourself and them.the charnel touch is just 1 aspect of the class to help you out yeah being able to heal out of combat is nice but the dm can throw thing at you besides damage (ability score damage, paralysis, poison) theres a million things to get around it if you have a creative dm. so in the long run its useful but not as over powered as some of you are thinking its just another class feature to help you play a NECROMANCER....</blockquote>
