Don't play a true necromancer(Help on fixing my cleric)

[sambouchah]

So I had started a thread about a new character after my current one dies. I mentioned my current dwarf was headed towards true necromancer as a prestige and was discouraged by some more experienced players. So I'm posting this to find a new direction for my death obsessed little friend Malachite.

Things to know about malachite:
LE cleric of Wee Jass-lv2
Death and magic domains
Str:18
dex:14
con:16
int:15
wis:18
Cha:16

Feats: other than rebuke undead I have only taken extra turning.

Fluff/backstory: During an attack by the dread emperor and some followers of his Malachite's wife was slain by the warrior. Seeking revenge for years Malachite changed the way he looked at things and began practicing necromancy to bring his beloved back from the dead.

A cleric is a great necromancer on it's own. Grab some of the corpsecrafter feats, the appropriate magic items, and you're golden.

For PrC choices, I would go either bone knight for flavor and combat viability of maybe sand shaper for some cool desert-themed death goodness

With that kind of physical stats, i'd strongly suggest going Cleric 4 / Crusader 1 / Ruby knight vindicator 10 / Full casting PRC 5

Crusader and ruby knight vindicator are where? I've seen crusader but can't remember where. (I have so many D&D books)

They are in Libris Mortis. The gem is Corpsecrafter which grants +4 str and dex and +2hp/HD, but there is another that makes your undead explode when they die and another that grants them an initiative bonus, both which work well on a dedicated creator of the undead.
