I've decided to run a Wizard (Necromancer) because Cleric and Dread Necro are banned. The spell list is expanded to allow for cleric, dread necro, death master, and "undead favored" spells. The theme is to make a cool backstory to explain how come he's a NG or LN Necromancer (was LG).
Here's my idea:
Lucius was an Expert, acting as a doctor in his local village. His wife died giving birth to his only child, Isabella. He then devoted his money to his daughter's well being. However, nobody could've predicted her falling ill with an unknown disease. From himself to clergy to even an alchemist, nobody could find a cure. She died in two weeks. Devistated, Lucius was contacted by an Efreeti prince who promised him one wish. He asked only for the power to bring his daughter back. As promised, the efreeti used Wish to teach him basic necromancy, which Lucius used to raise his daughter from the dead. She arose a Slaymate, her first words, "Daddy..."
Lucius now searches for the power to become undead so he can spend eternity with his daughter. The power has twisted his mind, making him less and less like how he was. He plans to contact a mysterious "Demon Prince" (DMPC, an Incubus Half-Shadow Dragon) so he can become undead...
I have 3 questions:
1. Which intelligent undead would suit this character, who will be a Focused Necromancer 10/Pale Master 10
2. Does a Slaymate make a good familiar, at least in this case?
3. Is the story any good, or is it too far-fetched?
