Any neat things one can do as a dread necromancer in 3.5?

Multiclass out.
A bit more seriously, the class gets Rebuke Undead and has no alignment restriction, from what I remember. I believe the cheese involves multiclassing to Cleric with Turn Undead - since the two act as independent pools - and then get some abilities that rely on Turn/Rebuke charges to activate. Extra Turning could (depending on DM interpretation) apply to both, giving you even more uses.

Mystic Theurge is better for straight up necromancy.
And pure Cleric is even better than Mystic Theurgue.
Soon I'll be playing a Siege Mage in Pathfinder and I'll be using the undead to eventually man my Fiend's Mouth Cannon.
MtG General. Who's your favorite commanders?
Personally, I prefer Oona. Such a bitch, but so fun to use.
>>48067501
Oona's OK. I prefer Phenax for mill though.

just built a brago deck to play with friends. I had no idea how oppressive it could be
I am shy.
How do I not shy when playing RPG?
I want big charisma.
Get drunk off your ass. Game drunk. You won't be shy.
Think of what you'd normally do and then do the opposite.

Practice, anon.
Keep on putting yourself in awkward situations, and eventually you'll learn to deal with it.
I have always wondered this but who would mainly pilot them? I know the chaos space marines are too few to be on every single ship, and I don't think cultists and mutants would make good pilots and crew. Would it be traitor guardsman, or would the ships be somewhat possessed with daeoms and somewhat organic etc.?
>>48065425
Aboard the Vengeful Spirit and many traitor ships that appear in novels and codexes, crew men made out mutants, cultists, and traitor admech run and pilot the ship.
In Khayon's ship, there were Beastmen tribes taken from the planet of sorcerers. They ran the ship alongside the humans slaves. It was noted that they a stiff feud between the Beastmen and human crew, IIRC.
>>48065425
Why would cultists not make good pilots?
>>48065425
The Imperial Navy has traitors too, you know, anon. Maybe you shouldn't completely forget the organization that runs most Imperial ships when asking who runs Chaos ships.
Anyway, the answer "Who pilots" is either a trusted cultists or a slave-servitor physically bonded to the console. "Who commands" is a CSM, human Chaos Lord or Arch-Heretic, Traitor Navy captain, or whoever.

You are Harry Potter, no longer a wizard after being tortured by Death Eaters. Using the ninja arts you have learned from your sensei, Professor Snape, you are working as a bodgyguard to the Greengrass family on their vacation to Rome. You returned bloodied and battered from a meeting with the vampire assassin Phantasma with a magic scythe that can freeze anything it touches.
Professor Snape, in his guise of Hans Gruber, has a furious look on his face. You idly watch as the scratches from the scythe knit before your eyes, having drained a vial of a foul tasting healing...

You stand up and test your right arm. Half the fingers are still locked in place, artificial tendons severed by that scythe. You really want to find out what your sensei is talking about; however, you do have a mission. Assessing your fatigue, you find that your magical core is not so drained that you could not produce a shadow clone.

I'm going to dump a whole lot of theorycrafting when I get home, but til then, bump.
I need some low to medium level spells that aren't too powerful that would be useful for dungeon crawling and combat.
>>48065704
spells are only as powerful as their scope/numbers
Making a location is really easy. The trick is to make it vivid and focus on what matters to the game. By keeping the details vague and writing down only what the players can discover everything comes together really fast. Nondescript goon stats can plug into any NPC should combat become necessary, no need to worry about it just yet.

So the Manga naturally takes place in Japan and has all the relevent Japanese mannerisms and what not.
How do you suppose the rest of the world or in this case, the United States, would be like in this universe?

I once had a cat show up on a dwarven mastersmith's waiting room. Apparently he'd purchased full plate from the dwarf. Kinda like those neko things from Monster Hunter. The players struck up conversation with him, apparently a local noble who I included as a plot hook had killed his father for not being able to pay taxes so he was gonna get revenge.
They were in the middle of planning to stop a coup but fucked up so civil war occurred. The cat later returned as leader of an entire company of feline...

"And just like that, it was stolen by another DM!"
Probably using the early game BBEG as a mount. It made sense at the time.
Anyone have any impressions of the new Savage Worlds version of Rifts?
Also, in need of PDF links if anyone's scanned it yet.
>scanned it yet
Buddy the physical book isn't due out for a few more months at least.
And while we're at it, most of the pdf content isn't even finished yet. They only recently released the tomorrow legion handbook pdf to the kickstarter backers.
t. a kickstarter backer
>>48061047
No? Woops, I thought it was released last week. Oh well, I'll check back later then.
Any updates from those who've read the PDF?
Does it look good?
Anyone playing this?
What do you think of it?
>>48059988
It is good, but the PCs feel a little weak.
>>48060420
I know what you mean, I've personally DM'd about 5-ish sessions and my PCs are almost constantly near death.
Not sure how much is me putting them through too much difficulty, or if they're just making stupid decisions and going in unprepared.
I only played a single session, but it made me wish we could've kept playing. Our DM must have been pretty generous as we handled a lot of the challenges pretty handily. Or maybe we were just good at planning.
It was kind of weird to start off as a zero-level character though, with no clear-cut strengths or weaknesses to guide my decisions.
