[QUOTE="jbear, post: 5331326, member: 75065"] @ Mengu: Nicely done! It won't let me xp you til I spread xp around. Ok, let me play. Lvl 1: Flaming Skull! What a cool idea, can't beat that! ANd yep, Dretch is the other decent summons! What's a Dretch? Encounter lvl 1 Grasping Shadows totally fights: Shadowy arms rise up from the ground pulling your enemies towards an early grave! And it is also the best at this level imo. Lvl 2 Utility: Magical Debris: At will summon Casper the Friendly Ghost(s) who is there to hinder your enemies' movements or Shadow Snake which becomes Serpent Wraith which does recon. Both decent utilities. Lvl 3 Encounter Hypnotic Pattern: This is when Casper starts messing with your enemies' minds, possessing them and having them walk into sharpened furniture! Lvl 5 : Summon Imp, Grasp of the Grave all seems to fit Lvl 6 Utility: Summon Iron Cohort (totally agree) and Dispel Magic: You want to be able to send those summoned creatures back to where they came from when they get out of control (and of course other peoples creations and auras ... so handy in many situations!) Level 7: Tomebound Ooze (renamed Living Guts?) sweet summoning spell right there! Level 9: Summon Succubus! There's your Vampire Summons right there baby! Dominate ftw! Plus the rest. And Face of Death ... because in the mornings when you've just woken up you are a terrible sight to behold!!!! Level 10 Utility: Summon Hammerfist Crusher (easily refluffed to Frankenstein's Monster!) or Circle of Protection (even Necromancer's aren't so foolish as to not find ways to protect themselves from the darkness the dabble with!) Paragon Path looks solid. The ideas others have given about your familiar are great. Featwise ... well easy to refluff White Lotus Feats as Dark Creepy Necro Academy feats. I made this build in about 3 minutes, so i didn't look at anyhing in depth. But the Vistani heritage feat is wicked Imo, totally what a Necromancer would do when he glares at you! In any case, with essentials, i'd put money on it that the official Necromancer is not far away. ====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ====== Ana2, level 11 Eladrin, Wizard, Bonded Summoner Arcane Implement Mastery: Tome of Binding Background: Arcane Student Who Saw Too Much (Arcane Student Who Saw Too Much Benefit) FINAL ABILITY SCORES Str 9, Con 18, Dex 15, Int 21, Wis 14, Cha 11.
