Dread necromancer feats......

[Question]

What feats would be useful for a dread necromancer? Theres one that allows you to heal negative energy as undead isnt it, for charnel touch?

Also am i missing something with the corpse crafter feat? I can use summon undead V to create a mummy with +32(8 hit dice x 4) enchantment bonus to strength?

The drad necroamncer seems to be (mostly) about summong and buffing undead. Am i correct?

 

[Question]

Btw does the negative energy burst heal the DN if he has tomb tained soul?

Charnel Touch is a class feature of the Dread Necromancer. It's not a feat, it's just an ability they get. The feat you're thinking of is Tomb-Tainted Soul, from Libris Mortis. Any of the corpsecrafter feat chain would be good. Dark Speech from the BoVD (as well as any number of other vile feats, if that's your kinda thing) would fit. Spell Focus (necromancy) if you want to get real basic. There are plenty of good options for a DN.

I don't know where you're getting the idea that you multiply the strength bonus times... anything. Corpsecrafter gives the undead (the mummy, in this case) a +4 enhancement bonus to strength. It also gives it +2hp per HD.

Summoning or creating undead, augmenting undead, debilitating enemies, and using death, disease, and negative energy to various ends. That's the Dread Decromancer in a nutshell.

Btw does the negative energy burst heal the DN if he has tomb tained soul?

Yes, it would. Just as it would any normal undead creature in its area.

Technically they can use Divine Metamagic spells since they can Rebuke Undead.

First thing I'd take is Tomb Tainted Soul, allows you to heal yourself, as well as your undead, from LM

 

[Nightfall]

Also consider using other divine feats since they can rebuke undead.

 

[Question]

I didnt mean charnel touch was a feat, i meant you could use it to heal yourself if you took tomb tainted soul right?

I took improved init, improved toughness, empower spell, divine metamagic and tomb tainted soul. Good choices?

 

[Seeten]

I am dying to play this class. I love it. I dont like improved init, nor do I like imp tough, I love necromantic presence/might, though.

Ultimatly? No. Some of those are good, others.. meh.

I'd personally go with: Tomb Tainted Soul, and 4 from the following list:

-Undead Leadership (get something incorporeal as your cohort, if possible. Plus you're already charisma-based, so your leadership score'll be quite nice).
-Divine Metamagic and Maximize Spell.
-Corpsecrafter and either Deadly Chill, Destructive Retribution, or both.
-Dark Speech
-Arcane Mastery

Pass on Dark speech. Arcane Mastery is a good choice. Otherwise I agree, no need for some of those feats.
