Redead, the Masters of Life and Death (3.5 Base Class, PEACH)

[NeoSeraphi]

Even invocations is pushing it on the amount of casting I wanted to give him, really. My initial thought was to make him a caster. Then I remembered how much I suck at writing casters and dropped the spells. Now I'm trying to give him an overhaul to fit invocations in without nerfing his Surge. My current thought is to make all his invocations be Surge Bursts, IE modifications to his beam attack like change its shape, boost its range, make it deal an additional effect, et cetera. Will either be at will or done with a PP system, though I'd prefer at will. This makes him far more powerful, so I'll probably be dropping his BAB to 1/2 and removing all proficiencies but simple weapons, and maybe light armor if I'm feeling generous. Also contemplating dropping his hid die to a D4. Thoughts on these ideas?

Since your Surge ability is a ranged touch attack, I'd say that 1/2 BAB would be a bad thing.
