Ghoul Blend

My Favorite place for d20 Books
There’s many places to find source books for the d20 system, however DriveThruRPG has proven the most reliable over the years.

Check out their source book offerings here.

Ghoul Blend

The Undead army made its way slowly towards the capital.

The Free City having been destroyed, the Dread Emperor marched his armies toward the Capital of the Fallois, a country as weak as their pitiful king. 

Those insipid fools would soon no longer stand in his way – and with them crushed beneath his undead hoard, none would resist.

In the air atop his zombie dragon, he glanced groundward with a smirk crossing his decrepit face, the swarming zombies and skeletons made their way slowly toward his final goal.

His smile, better described as a grimace, shed rotten flesh from his jowls.

Soon, his victory shall be complete.

Goal

Dread Necromancers are an extremely potent class of spontaneous arcane casters. Although they specialize virtually solely on Necromancy(duh), their ability to know all their spell list and cast any spell on it spontaneously makes them surprisingly versatile.

All the Undead Creation Feats amplify their Animate Dead spell making even a single skeleton a dangerous foe. By level 20, you become a Lich for free. Besides all the (insane) benefits of being a Lich, you gotta remember that you created your lich (yourself), meaning all those creation feats apply to you as well.
