Overhaul Changes

  • We can at least fix it so the bonus spells provide caster levels for their main caster spell even if you don't get bonus spells.
  • Further engine fixes needed to allow spells to be chosen.

Overhaul Description

(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.
- Primary saving throw(s): Fortitude, Will
- Base attack bonus: Low (+1/2 per level)

REQUIREMENTS:

Arcane Spellcasting: Level 3 or higher.
Alignment: Any non good
