Good necrotic sorcerer friendly prestige classes

[creepyeye]

Im playing at a friends place and i decided to make a necromancer.

Like the title says, I am looking for a necrotic prestige class for my whisper gnome sorcerer. Hes got 16 cha. I was looking at pale master but the knowledge religion looks like it would take forever. But then i saw the Necromancer class on the dnd wiki, but I am thinking it could be home brewed.

Correct me if i am missing anything.

take a dip into cleric for the religion plus you can get rebuking/commanding undead potential.

The d&d wiki class is homebrewed. D&D wiki bad.

Tainted scholar's a good (somewhat broken)'un.

By "good" do you mean good-aligned, or just useful?

In general, Sorceror is a pretty bad class for a necromancer, especially one focused on making a bunch of undead. You don't get Animate Dead until level 8, and since you won't be using it every day most of the time it will be a wasted spell slot.

You'll probably be better off with general casting-boosting PrCs than necromancy-focused ones, since there aren't a lot of really great necromancy PrCs for arcane casters. Mage of the Arcane Order can potentially solve the "I almost never cast Animate Dead" problem.

There is exactly one class named just plain "necromancer", and that's a wizard who chooses necromancy as his specialized school.

That said, if you want to be a necromantic sorcerer, you might be better off taking the Dread Necromancer base class instead (found in Heroes of Horror). On the up side, you'll have more spells known than a sorcerer, including most of the standard necromancies, and you'll also have a variety of other non-spell class features. On the down side, though, you wouldn't be able to do much besides necromancy.

Tip: Avoid D&D Wiki, it is not official WOTC D&D content and contains mostly homebrew (including lots of fairly bad attempts at homebrew)
