Any builds blending Dread Necromancer and Death Master? Search reveals nothing!
The Dread Necromancer and Death Master occupy similar turf. Has there ever been any attempts to blend them together, perhaps using ultimate magus or other method? I realize that it is a suboptimum choice, but it has great flavour.

They don't actually have any synergy with one another. If anything, they're anti-synergistic: mixing the two just makes your undead less powerful.
Rhymes with "Protracted."

A dip in Death Delver gives you another Rebuke Undead pool so that's something. But going further than a dip would be anti-synergetic on the minionmancy side as Troacctid pointed out.
You also have 3 Wizard-like classes from some Dragon Magazine that might be to your liking (especially Deathwalker IRCC).

Re: Any builds blending Dread Necromancer and Death Master? Search reveals nothing!
From memory their spell lists overlap too much for it to be worth theurging them or anything, and they have class features meaning you’re better off sticking with them for a bit.
If you were just focused on the spells ultimate magusing them could be cool, the same spell list bar one or two ones the other wants, one’s prepared the other’s spontaneous. But it’d be kinda boring honestly. It’s like mixing sugar and a sugar substitute: you can, but why, both are fineOI YOU! Join this one Discord where people talk 3.5 stuff!

UM also doesn't advance the other stuff they get, like turning, familiar, charnel touch etc etc...

It looks like a combination of dread necromancer and death master is Dead On Arrival. If only there was a prestige class that advanced both and also rebuke undead.

Death master is arcane prepared and dread necromancer is arcane spontaneous so you can progress both castings with ultimate magus.

I'm guessing Ultimate Magus which was already covered.
Even if you can, the problem is True Necromancer is basically like alternating between the two classes foe the first few levels and again halfway through, so it's almost worse than not taking it.Plague Doctor by Crimmy
