Rakshasa Dread necro spell casting lvl? For BBEG

[Daitini Peck]

I know that as a sorcerer Rakshasas know/cast spells at 7+ level of sorcerer, but would that also count towards Dread Necromancer since they both cast arcane, and the fact that they do gain advanced learning?

Stats on character so far:

Rakshasa lvl 7
Dread Necro lvl 11

Str:16
Dex:19
Con:23
Int:18
Wis:19
Cha:25

Any help would be appreciated, this is for a dungeon I'm creating and DMing. Figure I'd use my party as test subjects.

Check out the Ak'chazar Rakshasa in Monster Manual 3, it's probably exactly what you're looking for.

By the rules? No. Sorcerer casting and Dread Necro casting are different. The character would cast like a Sorcerer 7, and, separate from that, also like a Dread Necro 11. So, he'd have level 3 sorcerer spells, and level 6 dread necro spells.

It's a bit as if he where a sorcerer 7/dread necro 11. Two different classes.

Of course, you are the DM. No one stops you from declaring htat this is a unique kind of Rakshasa that casts as a dread necro instead.

Good point, let it be so.
