Bill's special rule requests

• [Foundling] is a new heroic path from the Against the Shadow fansite. I'd like to choose this for my necromancy-focused channeler. Basically, the path is for a person who is born somewhat apart from reality. Less than totally alive. At level 20 the character becomes incorporeal, like a ghost, which isn't really something I'd look forward to necessarily, but it would drive the development of the character into a really neat direction. That's the main reason I like it so much. If not, second choice is Charismatic - but that will not develop the character's personality and such in the direction I'm really excited about.
  Update: Foundling was allowed

Spells

A Note on Selection
The following spells aren't just "all of the spells Kyuad could cast out of the books." The selection process was pretty strict, limiting the spells selected to most Necromancy spells (even a couple or three that are written as cleric-only spells), protective Abjuration spells, and Conjuration spells that aren't in the Summoning or Calling subcategories that also aren't straight combat spells. For an example, most of the Conjuration spells in the Spell Compendium were combat spells that deal damage, and very few of those are listed here.
I'm not expecting all of these (or even most) to show up in the game, or to become available for Kyuad to learn. But this gives the GM a lot more options for introducing spells into the game for this character's use, and some of these are very cool to boot.

• Spells from the Spell Compendium (C = Conjuration, A = Abjuration, N = Necromancy; the number is the spell level)
  • Avasculate N7 - ray attack, target reduced to half its HP

  • Resist Energy, Mass A3 - bigger than the standard
  • Resistance, Greater A4 - +3 bonus
  • Resistance, Superior A6 - +6 bonus
  • Reveille N2 - makes corpse tell you how it died (a.k.a. Super GM Fun)
  • Revenance C6 - restores the dead to life! (for 1 minute/level, read the fine print noob)
  • Reverse Arrows A3 - like protection from arrows but it can redirect the arrows back to the originator
  • Servant Horde C3 - creates lots of unseen servants

  • Stolen Breath N2 - robs the target of air, making them sick for a minute unless they use a round to breath normally
  • Symbol of Spell Loss A5 - like symbol of death but it causes spellcasters to lose spells (in Midnight, it most likely would just drain spell energy, probably to the tune of energy equal to half the target's caster level)
  • Undead Torch N3 - undead creature deals extra damage to living creatures
  • Updraft C1 - you float up in the air and slowly float down (how ghostly!)
  • Veil of Undeath N8 - you gain traits of undead creatures
  • Vigor C1/3/5 - there are three levels of this, all grant fast healing 1, 2, and 4, and are Conjuration (Healing) spell types. The fleshknit spells below are based on these spells, but are necromantic for style reasons, and are therefore preferred.
  • Viscid Glob C5 - makes a big glob of sticky goo that sticks a target to the goo
  • Wail of Doom N5 - cone burst of slight damage and causes panic
  • Wall of Good A4 - creates a wall that protects against evil creatures
  • Wrack N5 - target is blind and helpless for a short time, then shaken
• Spells from the Book of Vile Darkness
  • Angry Ache - causes pain that imposes a -2 per 4 lvls penalty to attacks.
  • No Light - it's the opposite of light, by creating an absense of light (not magical darkness).
  • Preserve Organ - a lower-level and weakened version of gentle repose. This preserves a portion of a corpse, rather than the whole thing. Mainly, I could see this useful for preserving steaks, or a portion of a body that needs to not decay, like if you were bringing it to someone who could reincarnate a dead ally.
  • Suspend Disease - doesn't cure disease, but slows it, like slow poison.
• Spells from other sources
  • Bone Thicket C3 - causes skeletal hands to sprout up, capable of a few different utilities
  • Fleshknit series of spells (fleshknit, fleshknit circle, greater fleshknit, lesser fleshknit, mass lesser fleshknit) - these grant fast healing for damage dealt while the spell is active
  • Bestow Curse, Lesser N3 - bestows a minor curse
  • Prowess Siphon N2 - drains 3 Str from target to caster
