Hey guys! Long time no see!
Ok I am in an evil campaign and my GM in her good graces let me use a fan made conversion of the Dread Necromancer from 3.5 Heroes of Horror.

First off... What are your thoughts on this class?? There are thoughts after the original post about giving it a better BAB because of the HD and I want to know if you think maybe giving it the d6 HD and giving the class more skills points instead. The post hasn't been looked at since 2013 and want a new look at it. I'm just looking at the class itself and not the new spells proposed.
Second.. I have a vision about giving this class a primarily Divine spells dirived from the Cleric/Oracle spell list. The reason I am thinking this is because in 1E the Dread would almost be called an Oracle archetype. Especially with the ability to Channel Energy later on. I don't want to turn it into an archetype but.. what I want help with is the spell list. I want to see what it would look like with an all divine spell list (except for the fast learning :P)
Thanks for reading and let me know!
Edit: My vision for this character is an evil mastermind and master of undeath. He would be able to control the undead and as well as convince others to walk towards the path that leads to undeath.
If their spell list includes a lot of those touch-range spells like bestow curse (or if they're expected to use charnel touch offensively) then they probably want d8 HD & 3/4 BAB. If they're to be purely a back rank master of undead then more skill points and wizard-HD are fine.
It looks like that spell list is heavy on wizard spells including some conjuration. What sort of criteria were you looking at using?

Perfect that justifies my vision so far of what i want and that is perfect!
As for the spell list as i stated before i was thinking evil oracle mastermind. Undead enhancing and buffing, maybe debuffing the enemy with diplomacy and bluffing into joining his ranks.
