[QUOTE="MerakSpielman, post: 1272938, member: 7464"] True Necro is pretty good, but you can't start taking levels until after level 10, assuming you took 5 cleric levels (to cast Animate Dead) and 5 wizard levels (to cast Spectral Hand). After that, you can take 8 True Necro levels, adding a spellcasting level of wizard each level, so you end up with 13 spellcasting levels of wizard. That's just good enough to get 7th level spells, so you can have your limited wish, but you have yourself a 18th level NPC. Wizard Specialization: Necromancer (forbidden Evocation (for flavor)) Feats: Spell Focus (Necromancy), Extra Turning, some Craft Items, Spell Mastery (Animate Dead, some other necro spells). Make sure he has his animated undead around. A zombified butler is always good for effect, and a skeletal lap dog. There's an Undeath domain in a recent Dragon magazine. [/QUOTE]
