[QUOTE="Gradine, post: 5334692, member: 57112"] In fact, here's my attempt at a Wizard through 10 levels with exactly [I]one [/I]summoning power (the "iconic" Animate Dead at 9th level). I instead focused on Cold, Psychic/Fear (the 4e Illusionist stole some of the Necromancer's stuff), Acid (refluffed as "Disease" or "Pestilence" or what have you), and I think two Necrotic powers. You could probably do a much better job with feats (I didn't really put any effort into feat selection) and if you wanted Expanded Spellbook you might pick up a few extra Summons to re-fluff for your trouble. There are some quite interesting Religion-based skill powers that seem to fit well with the necromancer with a little refluffing (my favorite being Deliverance of Faith). ====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ====== Frank, level 10 Human, Wizard Arcane Implement Mastery: Orb of Imposition FINAL ABILITY SCORES Str 8, Con 12, Dex 10, Int 20, Wis 18, Cha 12.
