I will be involved in a home game soon, and am having a horrible time settling on a class to play because I have multiple concepts running through my head. One of them is a character who has an undead companion which would function similar to an Animal Companion. I found the Undead Lord archetype for Clerics, but since we will already have a Cleric in the party I was hoping there was something similar for another class.
Maybe something for Oracle? Anything else? I would prefer to play a ranged damage dealer/support class who sends his zombie into the melee battle.
Or, I suppose an option could be to play a class that has an Animal Companion, and flavor it as an undead/skeletal deinonychus? Though, would prefer having a minion.
Any thoughts?
Dhampir can put an undead template on their animal companions.
JuJu oracle?
Necromancy arcane caster?
Where would I find info on a Juju Oracle?
Any particular archetype of a necro arcane caster?
Actually, my brother is kind of doing that with his first ever pathfinder character. He's a (PFS) Summoner who's eidolon resembles a skeleton. His plan is to eventually resemble the Sword Dancer from Tales of Symphonia
That said, he's only second level, so it isn't large or truly undead yet; it may look like a skeleton, but it's still alive. But he does have a skeleton that makes for an excellent excuse as to why you're not where you should be.
