Combat Necromancer [3.5]

[Vizzerdrix]

Most of what you said is true except that a Dread Necromancer has the same BAB as a wizard

Fixable by getting Divine Power on the spell list with Arcane Devotion.

And if they can get shield on the list, then Abjurant Champion makes a suberb filler for levels 9~13, leaving 7 to play with. Another Arcane Devotion should do it.
