Dakkareth, I've been thinking about your special ability. Seeing as the others all got limitations for their use of their special abilities, I figured you'd get some as well. Also, it is quite a powerfull thing you've got there, so unlimited use of it would be overpowered (more so than the party already is!). So here is what I'm thinking: You can use it for a total of rounds equal to your Int modifier each day. When you activate it, you see everything as in 3rd round of Detect Undead spell, so you wont need more than 1 round using it for figuring out whats there or not.

I'm fine with that. It wasn't until recently, that I realized, just how powerful it would be - I was thinking all along the lines of 'man, that would be cool for a necromancer' 
Edit: Once per int mod is still a lot, but I won't complain. Anyway, scrap off two uses for today.
Mmhh, now I *would* have a use for darkvision/etc spells, but that's life for you

Well, one ROUND per int modifier. there might be times where you might want to use it more than one round you know

I did get that - I was but referring to the most basic function.
Coming to think of it, I have a few more questions:
1. Merion's Possess Undead is mainly designed to be for scouting and attacking from a position of strength (destroying the vessel doesn't mean death), but of course there's an important question regarding this: Can a skeleton speak? I asked this question on the WotC boards and got mixed results (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=321164), so it's up to you ...
2. How do you handle summoning spells? According to some errata any summon undead spell can summon undead of up to caster level +1 HD. Can I simply pull creatures from the MM, make them skeletons or zombies and summon them within the limits of the spell or is there some limited list of options you'd allow?
3. Profit! Erh ... there was some third question or something, but I don't remember. Mmhh, I figure there's no chance of a retrograde spell list adjustment due to the change to spirit sight? That wasn't the question I had in mind, but it's as good as any.
That would be all for now

1: I'll allow it for possessed skeletons only.
2: I dont have any limited list, no. So doing it the way you describe is OK.
3: Adjust your spell-list. When we come to the first battle, you're stuck with the spells you've got.

Int: - is a little low for independant speech, no question
As for my spell list:
I notized, that I erroneously calculated the prize for two scrolls but took only one in the end. This means, I can add darkvision to my second level list without dropping another spell.
Sorry for making so much hassle - I haven't played in a long time
