One of my friends that I used to do simple RPs with wants to convert one of his characters to DnD. The character is a rogueish, dagger-wielding fighter type. Problem is, he has the ability to freely manipulate electricity. We don't know how to properly include that in the character. Including being able to heat things and create bolts of lightning, he can also manipulate positive and negative energy (scientifically), and he has a nifty, if draining, teleport ability. Any ideas on how this can be done? It's one of the few character concepts we thought of that I'm unsure of how to do.

Edit: After thinking for abit, I came to a conclusion for a base class to modify, if necesarry. Ranger. He dual-wields, uses small weapons, and prefers speed and dexterity to brute force, but would rather go toe-to-toe (more or less) with an enemy than be sneaky and back-stabby about it. And it won't be too hard figuring out what to drop from the class to incorporate the new abilities. But I'm still unsure of how to add those, exactly.

Figured I'd put this here, since I'm unsure of where else to put it. Can't seem to access my old account, so I had to make a new one...but that aside, on to the point of this post.

While trying to find the necromancer class (not prestige), I came across the Dread Necromancer. After reading through it, I came up with a few questions.

The dread necromancer (from Heroes of Horror) can rebuke/command undead, and casts spells to create and/or control undead. Does gaining minions through the rebuke/command undead count against what you can control with create undead? What about create undead and control undead? Rebuke/command and control undead? Taking into account different feats that can be gained from the Libris Mortis, if those stack than one could end up with enough undead to fill a nice (figuratively speaking) dungeon.

(I still haven't found the necromancer class, though I remember seeing it. I think it was in the same book as the beguiler class, and I can't find that either.)
