I've been playing a True Necromancer for a couple of years now and I'm getting tired of being gimpy. It's pretty much a running joke in the party that they could do X if only they had a real wizard, or they could do Y if only they had a real cleric. Some of these things have been sorted out by the addition of a wizard and cleric to the party. I knew this build was weak when I picked it but I liked the flavor. Unfortunately, I made a lot of very poor choices along the way and made the weak character even worse. I want to keep the character, despite his issues
Just FYI, the DM has approved re-training so I can swap feats when I level up next. Pretty much any WotC books but BoED and BoVD are good.
I'm looking for advice on retraining or just things to do going forward. The DM has said that he plans to take us into epic levels with this campaign (which means I might actually catch up eventually). So... any suggestions?
Here's where I stand at the moment:
necromancer 3/cleric of velsharoon 3/true necromancer 9
str 11, dex 13, con 14, int 19, wis 18, cha 15
Skills: concentration, know religion, know planes, know arcana, spellcraft, and spot (cross-class) are maxed or close to it. some other skills have a few ranks.
our dm uses spot a LOT. it's necessary.
Feats: Skill Focus (spellcraft), Fell Drain, Corpsecrafter, Spell Focus (necromancy), Practiced Caster (wizard), Practiced Caster (cleric)
Domains: Undead, Death
items of note: ring of freedom of movement, mithril buckler, studded leather +2 with no asf (slightly better than twilight enchantment), headband +2 int and wis, cloak of resistance + 2, tons of scrolls and wands
