Pale Master

(PRESTIGE CLASS)
Necromancy is usually a poor choice for arcane spellcasters. Those who really want to master the deathless arts almost always pursue divine means. However, an alternative exists for those who desire power over undead, without losing too much of their arcane power. Enter the pale master, who draws on a font of special lore that provides a macabre power all its own.

- Hit Die: d6.
- Proficiencies: A pale master does not gain any additional weapon or armor proficiencies.
- Skill Points: 2 + Int Modifier.

REQUIREMENTS:

Arcane Spellcasting: Level 3 or higher.
Alignment: Any non good
Skill: Lore 8
Feat: Skill Focus (Lore)

BONUS SPELLS

Upon reaching level 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in his highest caster class (bard, sorcerer or wizard). He does not learn any new spells through this ability, however.
