I absolutely LOVE the new manner in which the Dread Necromancer's spell book is being implemented. Brilliant!

With that being said, is it now possible for the Advanced Learning ability to be implemented?

There are so many great Necromancy spells available through PrC that the Dread Necromancer cannot gain access to due to the lack of this ability.

I don't think it's necessary to implement the Advanced Learning in the same manner that the Archivist scribe scroll has been, but with the abandonment of the dialog spell book for the Dread Necromancer, is it now possible to make use of that dialog spell addition to gain access to one new Necromancy spell at the levels indicated in Heroes of Horror?

Currently Dread Necromancers of Neutral alignment will use "Turn" undead instead of "Rebuke" undead.

I just had a look at the Heroes of Horror handbook and it seems to grant only Rebuke Undead to a Dread Necromancer regardless of alignment.

Looking at the implementation of Rebuke Undead I noticed that it looks only for the alignment of the character to determine if Rebuke Undead will be used.

Can that also include a check of the class as well?

I know that Neutral Clerics of an Evil or Neutral deity may choose at creation to Rebuke or Turn... is this also an option that can be explored?

I've been playing around with Inscribe Rune and the Runecaster class

One of the things I noticed that these runes only self target, even though they will scribe spells that target others.

I can even go so far as to create a rune of Cure Wounds which... even though I am allowed to target a friend... only heals me.

Or a rune of Hammer of the Gods, or Hammer of Righteousness.. but these only hit me when I target my enemy...

Is this by design?

I saw nothing in the description of the Inscribe Rune feat that said they were self target only.

Thanks for your time.

I have been playing the Healer class for some time now and was struck by the fact that the Healer has never developed a spell to prevent infection, poison, or Petrification. Since an Ounce of Prevention is worth a Pound of Cure and all that.

Problem: Currently the Spellbook on the Dread Necromancer is not working, it now just sends you into an infinite loop of "1. you can select new spells at your next level" clicking only sends you to another page that says "1. You can select new spells at your next level" and so on and so on. The only escape is to quite the game and restart.
