First time posting here although I've read the forums for quite some time. I'm looking for help building a melee cleric with a necromantic theme in 3.5e. Race will be strongheart Halfling, and I plan on picking up Necropolitan. Campaign starts at level 2. All books are allowed, and I have most of them I think. Point buy is 32. I'm not so focused on items, and equipment to get and I want to stay away from super cheese. The party is a group of cultist Halflings focused on bringing the glorious existence of undeath upon the world.
I know that deathbound and undeath are pretty good domains for the necromantically inclined. I also know that DMM Persist is a standard for Divine Power melee clerics. I'm definitely not the greatest at optimization so I'm looking for the best way to roll in the strong melee properties of a cleric (self buffs/heavy armor/etc.) with a couple of strong undead minions for the most part, although I do have a picture of animating a bunch of undead rats to turn into bombs with the Destructive Retribution feat at least once. Corpscrafter looks like a necessity, and I already mentioned DMM Persist so getting there is a necessity as well.
Basically I need help with everything from the ground up if at all possible. We're looking to play this Saturday so that's kind of the timeline I have. If you need more information please let me know as I will check back in on the post often. Thanks so much for the help.
