True Necromancer

[Necro]

Does the True Necromancer spell progression work for the Dread Necromancer?

I see the Dread Necromancer does work as an arcane class to activate the True Necro, I just wanted to confirm that the spell progression and Necromatic spell boost work properly.

Also, do the class levels for the cleric, dread necro, and true necro all add up for the turn/rebuke undead ability?

Yes

Thanks!!

Just don't expect to continue spell progression as a cleric, somehow the TN missed out on the upgrade that allows dual progress (like the Mystic Theurge, Eldritch Disciple, and Eldritch Theurge got).  Sad face

Just wait for next release

Wait True Necro gets dual progression now? Sweet I love it. Is there any difference then between how a True Necro gains or casts spells compared to a Mystic Theurge?

Edit: Rephrased my question to be more clear about what I meant.

[xwarren]

Yes. The progression is the same as Mystic Theurge's - +1 to arcane and divine class per level. It should probably end at 14th level, but I've added epic levels as well (it's easy to disable but I wanted to see how this will work).

[Siradein]

Just want to add that the in-game description is no longer quite accurate (not a complaint, just a heads-up).  Anyone wanting to test run this class needs to take spell focus (necromancy), as per Libris Mortis rules.  Other than that, looks great, feels right!  Personally, I'd leave it with the epic levels intact.

o.O

This is the current description:

(PRESTIGE CLASS)
Power corrupts. Power over life and death corrupts absolutely. The power to raise the undying servant from the husk of the formerly living is darkly tempting - and certainly evil. Those who seek such unyielding obedience from the dead willingly tread the path of necromancy.

- Hit Dice: d6.
- Proficiencies: True Necromancers gain no weapon, armor or shield proficiencies.
- Skill Points: 2 + Int Modifier.

REQUIREMENTS:

Alignment: Non Good
Skills: Lore 8 ranks
Feats: Death Domain, Turn Undead, Spell Focus (Necromancy).
Spells: Must be able to cast at least 2nd level Arcane spells, and 2nd level Divine spells.

ABILITIES:

Level
1: Rebuke Undead
2: Create Undead 1/day
3: Necromantic Prowess (+1)
4: Zone of Desecration
5: Create Undead 2/day
6: Necromantic Prowess (+2)
7: Major Desecration
8: Create Greater Undead 1/day
9: Necromantic Prowess (+3)
10: Horrid Wilting
11: Create Greater Undead 2/day
12: Necromantic Prowess (+4)
13: Energy Drain
14: Wail Of The Banshee

BONUS SPELLS:
A true necromancer gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if she had also gained a level in either an arcane spellcasting class she belonged to before adding the prestige class, a divine spellcasting class she belonged to before adding the prestige class, or both. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (metamagic or item creation feats and so on).

Strange, mine still has the old description, and I still had to have access to 3rd level spells of both classes to take a level in TN.  Did I do something wrong, miss a file somewhere?

[xwarren]

Do you use PRC/CEP merge or something?
I'll check the description on my PC.

[Siradein]

I use all of the merges because I play various mods that use CEP and/or Q content.  I just redownloaded both the exe and rar versions and I'll uninstall and reinstall a little later on, when I have time.

[Deathpoint]

Description works for me. I do not use a merge.

Pleas keep the epic levels

Not sure if it is balanced but it is fun.

[xwarren]

Sadly some builds wont work because of the NWN bug
Cleric/Dread Necro/True Necro will not advance clerics spellcasting unless cleric level > dread necro level.
No idea how to fix this - my last attempt broke epic spellcasting for PRC classes :/

[Siradein]

I found out what my problem was, I just needed to reinstall the PRC in my mods and everything works correctly.  Oddly enough, for me, Clerice/DN/TN worked just fine, and I only advanced cleric to 5 (DN went to .
