Necromancer + Alienist + Blood Magus build
« on: February 27, 2013, 05:59:23 PM »
Is possible to create a build multiclassing a necromancer class with the alienist class (and maybe even with the blood magus class)?

Necro = necro
Alienist = more of a summoner based class, not overpowered
Blood Magus = necro oriented, unusual crunch also not o.p.

So sure, Necro into Blood Magus is do-able.
Alienist would need a bit of reworking.

Gestalt or Houserules = no problem.

Are there other necromantic classes other than the necromancer variant (unearther arcana), the dread necromancer and the death master (Dragon compendium*)?

What kind of "reworking" is necessary to multiclass a Necro (i mean any Necro class, like the three i've listed above) with a alienist?

EDIT: What are "Gestalt" and "Houserules"? Is something like homebrew?

ok, I understood that the problems in multiclassing the necromancer of unearthed arcana with the alienist is that that necromancer cannot have a familiar
"A necromancer using this variant permanently gives up the ability to obtain a familiar"

But i don't understand what are the problems in using a Death Master or a Dread Necromancer, so... ehr... ehm... What are these problems? XD


Sorry for the double post

K's Necromancer guide is here ---> http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=2733.0

Clerics and Wizards make fine Necros too.


The Alienist material works with a Summoner.
Summoner =/= Necromancer.
Unless you go gestalt, it'd be better to go just one.
