Spells:
The dread necromancer casts spells from the dread necromancer spell list rather than the general summoner spell list. Spells known and per day remain unchanged. (Should I cut their spell list down and grant them all spells at each spell level?)
Channel Energy (Negative):
A dread necromancer can channel negative energy as a cleric of a level equal to her summoner level. This allows her to qualify for feats that modify channel energy as though she were a cleric.
This replaces Summon Monster I and further iterations of that ability (Summon Monster II - IX, and Gate).
Command Undead:
The dread necromancer receives command undead as a bonus feat.
Negative Energy Affinity:
The dread necromancer has an affinity for negative energy, it heals her the same as it would an undead. She is counted as both living and undead when she herself channels. (Ie. She heals herself rather she channels to heal minions or channels to harm other living creatures.)
This ability replaces life link.
Abomination:
Your eidolon is undead rather than an outsider. This ability may be used to qualify for feats or anything else as though it were the eidolon ability. (I haven't quite worked all this out yet, but I expect it will be slightly weaker than the general Eidolon ability.)
This ability replaces the eidolon ability.
2nd level:
Undead targeting:
The dread necromancer knows as much about undead as he does about even his own life form. As a result he may target corporeal undead that were once humanoids, or his abomination, as though they were humanoids.
This ability replaces Bonded Senses.
(Unfortunately, I've removed the charm & command type spells from the list, so this really only applies to enlarge / reduce person and the mass versions, IIRC.)
4th level:
Undead Mastery
All undead animated through a spell or spell like ability, other than the abomination, gain a +2 profane bonus to strength and dexterity and +1 hp/hd. At 8th level and every 4 levels there after, these stat bonuses increase by 2 and the hp/hd increase by 1.
This replaces Shield Ally, Maker's Call, Transposition, Greater Shield Ally, Life Bond, Merge Forms and Twin Eidolon. (Unfortunately this leaves several dead levels, I don't like that.)
