jimmybackman: Any kind soul that know any good fun necromancer builds? If it can be made slightly fighty too for a death knight kind of feel thats a plus. :)
Since the most obvious necromancy specialization for wizard doesn't seem to be beneficial at all, I think the only option is to go pure sorcerer.
It's problematic to suggest an actual build though. It really depends on how much of efficiency you are ready to sacrifice for role-playing sake.
Pure sorcerer (undead bloodline).
Maximize your CHA, spend everything else into DEX. Avoid touch spells. Take spell focus, greater spell focus (necromancy) and spell specialization. Other feat choices are up to you. You should be fine for the most part of the game. Boneshaker and boneshatter spells are pretty good. Make sure to take Enervation (lvl 4). You will need this one at the end. At lvl 9 you will have Grasp of the Dead, which is awesome, because usually your spells check enemy's fortitude or will, but this one checks reflexes. So when your ordinary spells fail, GotD may become really handy (since enemies normally don't have all their saves equally high). High level necromancy spells either kill or do very little. So if enemy's saves are too high, use Enervation (it drains levels) as many times as needed. Overall, endgame is not very impressive, but it shouldn't be too bad either.
Another option, you can go touch sorcerer. On mid levels you will probably still be using boneshaker/boneshatter, but at the end you will be relying more on self-buffes rather than necromancy spells. In this case I'd suggest to go medium armor proficiency, arcane armor training (1 lvl is enough, since there are mithril breastplates that has only 15% spell failure), outflank, martial weapon proficiency. Your stats could be something like 18-14-12(10?)-8-10-18 (you will probably have to go tiefling or aasimar). Attribute points go into STR. Yeah, you use 2h weapon (doesn't matter which specifically, since enlarge person provides you reach anyway).
P.S. If you wanna be necromancer, then go for it! That's what RPG games were made for! Even if it's not the optimal class choice, it's better to adjust difficulty level accordingly, than playing some OP class that you don't really like on hard mode.
