General stipulations:
Figure starting at level 1, but possibly higher (probably not higher than 3rd level). The guy needs to be playable from 1st level.
The game will likely cap at 10th to 15th level.
At this point I don't want to play an undead character due to campaign reasons, baring further clarification from the DM. So, no necropolitan at this point.
Probably no Leadership/Undead Leadership.

Ideas so far:
I've read K's guide to necromancy so far. I'm thinking of human as the race and figuring on Tomb Tainted Soul as a given. I like the low-level melee possibilities of the class and may likely take Weapon Finesse at 3rd level (or 1st if I can talk the DM into changing the prereqs to Dex 13+). I haven't put much thought into it beyond that, other than that I'd like to pick up some undead with Rebuking until 8th level, and then start Animating a respectable hoard.
I will PrC out after 8th level, but I'm not really set on any specific PrCs. Divine Oracle looks promising (at least the first several levels), as do the first 4 levels of Fate Spinner. The free Animating from Pale Master is enticing, but that flat out dead level is holding me back.
TL;DR:
What are your suggestions on PrCs and feats? What have you found that's fun to play? This doesn't have to be a super powerful character, as I'm looking for fun and interesting as much as effectiveness. As a solo character, I'd like to be able to handle a lot of different things.
Thanks in advance! [/b]
