Oracle / Witch Necromancer


Advice

Scarab Sages

Okay so I'm making an attempt at building a minionmancer.

I want to avoid taking Agent of the Grave as I want to keep the character True Neutral. In our home games undead can be Neutral and rarely, very rarely, good. So don't bring in anything about non-evil undead being wrong and awful please.

She's going to be a priest of Hanspur.

So my idea is to go Oracle (Juju) for one level taking Spirit Vessel and then Gravewalker witch with the Dimensions patron for the rest of it.

I'd get Animate Dead at the same time as a wizard would but as a 3rd level spell which is nice. And the ability of 6hd/level of Spirit Vessel would apply to my undead animated as a witch.

Traits: Magical Knack (Witch), Loreseeker (Animate Dead)
Feats:
1. Spell Focus (Necromancy)
h. Greater Spell Focus (Necromancy)
3. Varisian Tattoo (Necromancy)
4. Hex (Slumber)
5. Extra Hex (Dead Sexy) [3pp allows undead to be affected by spells that usually affect humanoids, including mind-affecting spells]
7. Spell Specialisation (Animate Undead)

That's as far as I've thought out the build as that's when she gets animate dead. And she'll be animating as an 11th level caster.

This is my first try at a minionmancer so what I'd like advice on is:

  • What other feats help with animate dead caster levels?
  • What magical items can help boost animate dead/necromancy?
  • If I take Extra Revelation and take Undead Servitude would the command DC of that ability scale with character level or be stuck as that of a 1st level oracle?
  • If it doesn't scale is there any other way to get the Command Undead feat usefully with a gravewalker witch?
  • Any particularly good spells for the Loreseeker trait?
  • I don't want to be an Agent of the Grave.

You might want to wait until tomorrow and see what the shaman looks like. Sounds like it might conceivably be EXACTLY what you're looking for.
