| zelvious04-15-04, 11:12 PM | i was wondering what would be better for a necromancer, a cleric or a wizard, a wizard has necromancy spells,but the cleric has it's own domain. i would like some feedback. cheers:D :) :) :) :) :) |
| Rahie_Leios04-15-04, 11:53 PM | of course it is the cleric, more necromantic spells and the ability to rebuke and comand undead |
| Oakspar7777704-16-04, 12:45 AM | Not to mention, Animate Dead at -2SPLV (which means you can cast it 4 levels sooner), bolstering undead, controling undead, etc. |
| bitnine04-16-04, 01:08 AM | Necromancer/Virtuso with the Requiem feat an option? |
| beaver102404-16-04, 06:24 AM | There's no question about it, clerics are better necromancers than necromancers. Incidently they're also better diviners than diviners and with the right spells better fighters than fighters. |
| Thermanshs04-16-04, 06:36 AM | Originally posted by zelvious cleric or wizard, for a necromancer???? None....go for a Reaver(variant death cleric presented on my cleric varianrs by deity (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=220091) thread) |
| Rondulin04-16-04, 08:05 AM | But a wizard with the Pale Master PrC is good too. |
| Thelon Fairblade04-16-04, 08:23 AM | You could try a Specialist Wizard (Necromancer) with the variant Specialist abilities from Unearthed Arcana (although I can't remember exactly what they are at this moment). Or you could pick up a Necromancer variant from Dragon #311 (I think). One slowly changes herself into an undead, one manipulates flesh as just another material for crafting things, and one traps dying victims' souls in gems for later exploitation. Otherwise, go Cleric. If you don't want the armored fighter feel, go for a cleric variant that gives up armor and weapons for more spells or spontaneous spells (Unearthed Arcana). |
| PhaedrusXY04-16-04, 03:43 PM | Clerics definitely make better necromancers than wizards, sadly. Links to a couple of somewhat crazy "clerical" necromancer builds I made: Kenny (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=177782) and The Possessor (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=150894&highlight=possessor). (Ok... so one really crazy one and another powerful but not insane one. :D ) |
