EDIT: Nuts, posted this in the general area instead of the 3.5 board. Is there a way to move it?
Hello! Sedall here, once again to ask the board for its advice on a build.
I'm attempting to recreate one of my earlier DnD characters, long before I knew anything about optimization except "The +6 item is better!". Through convoluted breeding in the past (I.E, the only 3 books I had were PhB, Planar Handbook, and RotD), the character was a draconic aasimar, and a NE cleric. After finding out that, hey, commanding wraiths is pretty cool, I decided that a cleric necromancer was the path for me. Eventually, lichdom was achieved (despite my knowledge now that an outsider couldn't do that, and it was a GM pull kinda thing. Long story, we'll avoid that.) and he was retired.
Hmmm. That really is just backstory, and useless for the question at hand. Sorry, let's move along.
So, I envision him as a frontline cleric, battling side by side with his undead minions. At the moment, the build I'm considering is:
Race: Draconic (Lesser) Aasimar
Cleric 4/ Ordained Champion 3/ Bone Knight 10/ Contemplative 1/ Divine Oracle 2.
Special Rules: LA buyoff, PF feat progression (Every odd level)
Now, I'd go with that, except I do want to become undead at some point. Necropolitan is well known to me, but if I go undead, is there really much of an advantage to taking anything past the first 5 levels of Bone Knight? Playground, suggestions please!
