Melee Necromancer Build

[Nosta]

so I want to Play a Melee Necromancer. I Recently was enlighten to the Smiting Spell Metamagic Feat and I love the idea of channeling lots of nasty necromancy spells through My Sword

So With Keeping it 3.5 and Dragon Mag what class or combo of classes could give me a good variety of spells and Decent BAB

I can Take any Template of +6 or lower

I was Thinking of Using 3.5 Death knight But Then I'd Prefer To take A cha Base casting class with if my knowledge serves me Right that leaves Sorcerer or Dread Necro

Can I get some thoughts on this.


The came Begins at effect Character level 12

The game Begins at effect Character level 12Dread necromancer seems the way you would go. Is 3.5 Death Knight a La +3. If so then good for you. Is this +6 la free [Also is it up to +6 in multiple templates or just one].


Here is my suggestions. [This is assuming your dm doesn't Nerf the Hell out of Nightsticks]
Now, i am going to tell you, Your going to need more than just melee. So with each of these i have made it so that there is a Area affect and a direct effect suggested.

I hope so. If not then well, most of my undead characters failed horrifically

If you want, ditch Death knight and go necropolitian +8 Evolves. That way you gain a +16 to both Str & Cha and 8/day sla. If you dm is nice then ask if you can choose the Sla from the list
