How to make a proper nekomancer?

[CyberThread]

So, I have seen a few summonable, and undead creations, but I am wondering, if I don't want to use humans, or everyday creatures.


How does one suggest ,per level ; useable cat like creatures ?

I am curious whether they keep their pounce and rake attacks.

Special Attacks: A skeleton retains none of the base creature’s special attacks.
Special Qualities: A skeleton loses most special qualities of the base creature. It retains any extraordinary special qualities that improve its melee or ranged attacks. A skeleton gains the following special qualities.




Special Attacks: Pounce, improved grab, rake 1d4+2
Special Qualities: Low-light vision, scent


If pounce and grab were considered SQ instead of SA, they would retain them :)

Well awaken undead will be incredibly useful for this as it gives back (Ex) abilities.

Planar Binding + Fiendish Lions, Tigers, Dire Lions and Dire Tigers (And Hellcats) would also be useful in acquiring cat like minions.

Here is where the best cat based material is. (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/fools/20030401c)

:smallbiggrin: Yes, yes it is! It should be noted that Tibbits qualify for such feats.

Wouldn't hurt to consider classes like Druid, Ranger or Wild Bard (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#bard) for a base class. Certain PrCs would also be thematically appropriate such as Animal Lord and Beastmaster, both from Complete Adventurer.

Spell Thematics (PGtF) feat will make your spells look like cats.
