My party loved me, and after the fight, I finished off one of the  dying seamonsters with a Deathknell, and had my skeletons drag the dragon off into the woods.There, I cast the (3.0)Create Greater Undead spell and brought forth my new minion -a Ghost Dragon. I took it as my Cohort, and before long the DM had it offer my character its hidden treasure in return for its freedom. Treasure which consisted of and entire Dragons hoard...Fun, fun , fun!!! Too bad the campain ended there...So the point is, act like a buffing/healing wizard, treat your party as your minions,just dont let them realize that, always have a plan on how to kill your fellow party members,and ,enjoy your evil life. BTW, I was only Neutral!Some recomendations, which may be too late, are-play human, get the Adaptive Learner feat at first level,and take any skill you want,-Use a scroll of Animate Dead ASAP, so you can have minions from early on.-Get the Mother Cyst feat, and use Necrotic Cyst,Necrotic Domination and Necrotic Tumor o much as possible, and on your party members if you can do it in secrete.</blockquote>
