It says in the handbook that a Dread Necromancer knows all spells, but ingame, i only have access to a select few.

Why the difference >.>?

What do you mean you can only cast a select few? I have player a Dread Necro, before and was not missing any spells.

What spells do you think they should be able to cast, but they can not?

Dread Necromancer knows all spells from his spell list, that's how it was implemented in PRC.

Angry Ache
Bane
Bestow Wound
Blade of Blood
Cause Fear
Chill Touch
Detect Undead
Doom
Hide From Undead
Inflict Light Wounds
Necrotic Awareness
Negative Energy Ray
Ray of Enfeeblement
Summon Undead I
Undetectable Alignment



These are the spells i shold have known from level 1. The spells i do know, when i go into the dread necro Radial menu is, in no particular order:

Summond undead 1.
Hide from undead.
Chill touch
detect undead
Doom
Bane
Bestow wound
Cause fear
Undetecteable aligment.
Inflict light wounds
Ray of enfeeblement.


Thats just level 1 spells. I lack even more spells at 2 or 3. Could this maybe be a problem with the servers implementation of the PRC or?

hm, i just made  a  new Dread necro ... it seemed to me it had less spells than showed up in the manuals (i know this class got few changes/improvements in the 3.4 version) so kept lvling it (console xD) then got a surprise once i got lvl 4 .. i had a dialogue window allowing me to learn another spell from a list ....
well basically, the missing spells can be learnt once you reach some lvls (lvl 4 as a start) ... you get a dialogue window to choose one from that list. Maybe you could try checking again !!

yeah, but you are supposed to know all spells imeaditly, not having to choose them.

it changed with the new version i guess 0.0
from "heroes of horror" (d&d 3.5 class book)
"Advanced Learning (Ex): At 4th level, a dread necromancer
can add a new spell to her list, representing the result
of personal study and experimentation. The spell must be
a cleric or wizard spell of the necromancy school, and of a
level no higher than that of the highest-level spell the dread
necromancer already knows. Once a new spell is selected,
it is added to that dread necromancer’s spell list and can be
cast just like any other spell she knows. If a spell is both a
cleric spell and a wizard spell, use the lower of the two spell
levels (when different) to determine what level the spell is
for a dread necromancer.
A dread necromancer gains an additional new spell at 8th,
12th, 16th, and 20th level.
"
along with first level spell list: "DREAD NECROMANCER SPELL LIST
The dread necromancer’s spell list appears below.
1st Level: Bane, bestow wound*, cause fear, chill touch, detect
magic, detect undead, doom, hide from undead, infl ict light wounds,
ray of enfeeblement, summon undead I*, undetectable alignment"

after checking, those are the exat (a part from detect magic) spells i get as level one 0.0
Soooo the class is implemented now in faithful way to the way WotC made it(rule book)  !!!

In your case, try leveling to fourth level and see, if you get the dialogue window; if you do, everything's working fine, if not ... well now we can start guessing if the bug comes from the server or your version :3

just my 2 cents !!

Oh, so a dread necro will no longer learn all spells? Would it be possible to learn those spells you don't know through a scroll or?

Dread Necromancer knows *all* spells from *his spell list*. Every 4 levels he can choose an extra necromancy spell from wizard or cleric spell lists (those spells are *not* on his usual spell list, so he can't learn them automatically).

Our utility that generates manual doesn't check for spells from advanced learning ability, so they are listed on the same page as normal spells. I don't know Java enough to fix this yet.

This is not a bug in PRC Pack (rather in the manual).
