Before I go into anything else, I want to take a moment to thank the following people:
Master of the Dark Triad: Thank you for pointing out the carry capacity limitation, and saves issues.
Ulfen Death Squad: Thank you for noticing that the essential gear was within the carry capacity limitation.
Kazaan: Thank you for pointing out the value of Muleback Cords.
Athaleon: Thank you for reminding me that the Muleback Cords take the Cloak of Resistance slot.
Kudaku: Thank you for bringing up the Arcanist alternative option.
Blapher: Thank you for reminding me of the importance of the Enchantment School.
Tangaroa: Thank you for bringing the Necromancer's Athame to my attention.
Zathyr: Thank you for inspiring me to check on animal companion slots. Sadly, PFS has separate rules from the Animal Archives.
Ilja: Thank you for the information on healing undead, and the thematic ties between Necromancy and Enchantment.
Snorri Nosebiter: Thank you for your input on alignment and Undead. Excellent stuff.
AndIMustAsk: Thank you for a very good list of abilities for a Word Caster, sadly, there is no word casting in PFS.
Iantzkev: Thank you for the helpful link to the Arcanist.
I am all but complete, and the PFS Gameday starts tomorrow -Squeal!-.
So, last minute advice on the character before I begin.
Right now my Traits are:
Excitable (+2 Initiative, Gnome only Combat Trait)
Sacred Conduit (+1 DC to Channel Energy - Command Undead)
Feat is:
Undead Master (I had originally had Improved Channel, but the DC 15 Channel for up to 5 HD is probably better than DC 17 for 1 HD.)
[b]Banned Schools are:
Evocation and Illusion (The Conjuration, Abjuration, Divination, and Transmutation schools were just too good to ban. This left Evocation, Illusion, and Enchantment. Illusion, I see by various threads, has a great amount of table variance, so I banned it. Enchantment has great synergy relating to Charisma, so it just eked past Evocation.)
Arcane Bond is:
Familiar (swoop lizard) just because it is going to become either a faerie dragon or pseudo dragon, and I like the idea of an 'evolution' rather than a flat replacement. I am still tempted to go to a Green Sting Scorpion just for the additional +2 to Initiative.
Skills:
I plan to put each Knowledge Skill to about +1, maximize Diplomacy as well as Use Magical Device, Spellcraft, and (hopefully) Perception. I am also maximizing Craft to help me afford consumables due to my incredibly fragile build.
Feats and Progression:
1st Level: Undead Master and Spell Focus (Necromancy) - Wizard Bonus Feat for PFS in place of Scribe Scroll.
3rd Level: Improved Initiative or Improved Channel - If PFS seems to be undead heavy, I will take the Improved Channel first, otherwise Improved Initiative.
4th Level: +1 Int. Intelligence to 18
5th Level: Which ever Feat I did not take at Level 3. Most likely Improved Initiative. + Heighten Spell as Wizard Bonus Feat to help with DC's since I am a low intelligence (18) Wizard.
7th Level: Improved Familiar - either Pseudo Dragon (no boon required) or Faerie Dragon (boon required)
8th Level: +1 Int, Intelligence to 19
9th Level: Evolve Familiar- Skilled (+8 UMD for Pseudodragon) or Persistant Spell or Extend Spell if I am suffering from my buff's durations being too short.
10th Level: Preferred Spell (by now I should have a clear favorite I use all the time)
11th Level: Unknown... Probably whichever metamagic I did not select at level 9.
12th Level: +1 Int. Intelligence to 20
As you can see, the progression is a little wishy washy, and I do not know if I am missing any true gem type feats.
