Is this necessary? No, not really. But the class doesn't quite fit in with my other revised fixed-list casters. I'd messed around with changes to the spell list, and to how summoning worked, so I figured that I'd collect everything in one place.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Dread Necromancer is proficient with all simple weapons. Dread Necromancers are proficient with light armor, but not with shields.
Spellcasting: A Dread Necromancer casts arcane spells, which are drawn from the Dread Necromancer spell list (see below). Like a sorcerer, he can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time. When a dread necromancer gains access to a new level of spells, he automatically knows all the spells for that level given on the dread necromancer's spell list. Dread necromancers also have the option of adding to their existing spell list through their Eclectic learning ability as they increase in level (see below).
To cast a spell, a dread necromancer must have a Charisma score of 10 + the spell's level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a dread necromancer's spell is 10 + the spell's level + his Charisma modifier. Like other spellcasters, a dread necromancer can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on the table above. In addition, he receives bonus spells for a high Charisma score.
Charnel Touch (Su) Once per round as a standard action, a Dread Necromancer can make a melee touch attack that deals 1d6+Charisma modifier points of negative energy damage. A Dread Necromancer under the effects of the spectral hand spell can use the hand to deliver their Charnel Touch at a distance, as if it were a spell. As negative energy, this ability is capable of healing undead.
Undead Horde (Sp): A Dread Necromancer's trademark power is his ability to raise the dead. Once per day per class level, your may perform an hour-long ritual to transform a corpse into an appropriate type of undead, under your complete control. You may raise any number of undead, as long as their total challenge rating does not exceed your Dread Necromancer level. This limit is independent of hit-die based limits, such as those specified by the desecrate spell. Undead created in this way cannot create any sort of spawn, nor may they control undead themselves (for example, using the undead lieutenant spell (SpC).
At any point, you may release an undead from your control as a full-round action. The released undead either instantly crumbles to dust, or lingers for 1d4 days, completely independently.
At 1st level, you may only create skeletons and zombies.
At 3rd level, you may also create ghouls.
At 5th level, you may also create ghasts and wights.
At 7th level, you may also create allips, shadows, and vampire spawn.
At 9th level, you may also create mummies and wraiths.
At 11th level, you may also create ghosts* and vampires*.
At 13th level, you may also create greater shadows, mohrgs, and spectres.
At 15th level, you may also create bodaks.
At 17th level, you may also create devourers and dread wraiths.
At 19th level, you may also create nightwings.
*You may apply these template to any base create you wish, provided the adjusted challenge rating does not exceed the normal limit on how many undead you can control.
This ability counts as animate dead for the purposes of prerequisites. At 11th level, it also counts as create undead, and at 15th level it counts as create greater undead. Undead created by this ability benefit from all bonuses that apply to undead created by the aforementioned spells, such as the Corpsecrafter feat.
Armored Mage (Ex): Normally, armor of any type interferes with an arcane spellcaster's gestures, which can cause your spells to fail if those spells have a somatic component. A Dread Necromancers limited focus and specialized training, however, allow him to avoid any chance of arcane spell failure as long as he restricts himself to light armor. This training does not extend to any other form of armor, nor does this ability apply to spells gained from other spellcasting classes.
Tomb-Tainted Soul At 2nd level, you gain Tomb-Tainted Soul (Libris Mortis) as a bonus feat.
Rebuke Undead (Su) At 3rd level, you may rebuke or command undead creatures, as the (revised) Cleric (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?319556-The-Cleric-%28Fixed-List-Caster-Project%29-3-5-PEACH)class feature.
Lich Body (Ex) Beginning at 4th level, you gain DR/Bludgeoning and Magic equal to one-half your Dread Necromancer level (rounded down).
Eclectic Learning At 4th level, and every subsequent even-numbered level, a Dread Necromancer learns one spell from the Sorcerer/Wizard list. If the spell is from the necromancy school, he learns it at its normal level. If it is not, he learns it one level higher than normal. He must be able to cast the spell at its adjusted level in order to learn it.
Fear Aura (Su) Beginning at 5th level, a Dread Necromancer radiates a 5-foot-radius fear aura as a free action. Enemies in the area must succeed on a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 class level + Cha modifier) or become shaken for 1 minute per Dread Necromancer level. A creature who successfully saves cannot be affected by that dread necromancer's fear aura for 24 hours.
Undead Vitality (Ex) Beginning at 8th level, you gain a bonus on saving throws made to resist sleep, stunning, paralysis, poison, or disease equal to your Charisma modifier.
Lich Resilience (Ex) Beginning at 12th level, a Dread Necromancer gains 25% resistance to critical hits; this is the equivalent of the light fortification armor special ability described on page 219 of the Dungeon Master's Guide. At 16th level, this fortification increases to 50%.
Enervating Touch (Su) Beginning at 15th level, when you hit a living creature with your Charnel Touch, you may choose to inflict a negative level in addition to the normal damage.
Lich Transformation When a dread necromancer attains 20th level, he undergoes a hideous transformation and becomes a lich, gaining the full benefits of that template. This includes his type changes to undead, and his gain of all the traits of the undead (see page 317 of the Monster Manual). He no longer has a Constitution score, all his existing Hit Dice become d12s, and he must reroll his hit points. A dread necromancer need not pay experience points or gold to create his phylactery.
