[QUOTE="Jubilee, post: 3071344, member: 36594"] I am surprised no one has mentioned the Dread Necromancer from Heroes of Horror, which is slightly better in my opinion than the death master, because there's no spellbooks to deal with (but then again, in the game I am considering playing a necromancer, we're all poor sods deep in the cogs of Sharn). It's an arcane caster with rebuke undead, a big list of special abilities, although they don't get animate dead until 8th level (it's a fourth level spell). The death master does get it as a 2nd level spell, but only ever gets at most 4 spells per level per day (as opposed to the 6 the dread necromancer gets...). I like the Master of Shrouds except for having to take spell focus (conjuration) (yuck) and Augment Summoning - which gives a bonus to str/con of all things you summon - undead don't have a con & incorporeal don't use strength anyway. It's a useless pair of feats for what you're suppose dto be focusing on =) There's also a the Dreadgrim prestige class from Eberron's Five Nations - it's a "I hunt the undead but also use and sortof become undeadish" class. I don't remember if it gets turn/rebuke, but I'm pretty sure it's divine. /ali [/QUOTE]
