'''Description''': ([[NWN:Prestige Class|Prestige Class]])
Necromancy is usually a poor choice for [[arcane]] spellcasters. Those who really want to master the deathless arts almost always pursue [[divine]] means. However, an alternative exists for those who desire power over undead, without losing too much of their [[arcane]] power. Enter the pale master, who draws on a font of special lore that provides a macabre power all its own.

'''Epic Selectable Class Feats''': [[NWN:Blinding Speed|Blinding Speed]]

==Spellcasting==

Every odd level, a pale master progresses in his knowledge of magic as if having gained one level in his primary casting class. This progress is in terms of spell levels and spell slots available. A [[wizard]] can learn from scrolls to add spells to his or her spellbook in order to take advantage of new spell levels. A [[sorcerer]] or [[bard]], however, will have to level again as a sorcerer or bard in order to learn spells for these new levels. New spell slots can still be filled by preparing spells already known with metamagic feats, however.

In standard NWN, this progression does not affect caster level, which can determine damage, duration, and spell penetration. In Avlis, [http://wiki.avlis.org/Shs:Magic_System#Changes_to_Bioware_Spells hooked spells] take pale master levels into account for determining caster level - one caster level per two pale master levels (every odd level). However, this only affects damage and duration for hooked spells, dispelling another caster's spells, and spell penetration, but not dispel resistance.

==Summon Control==

The Pale Master has some ability to select the creature summoned by the summon undead abilities. This is a sub-feature of the overrall [[Magic:Summon Control|Summon Control system]].

==Notes==

*Requires [[NWN:Hordes of the Underdark |Hordes of the Underdark]].
*Pale Masters can take Epic Spells at level 15 even if they only have 3 levels of an [[arcane]] class. They can also take epic spells with [[NWN:Epic Bonus Feats|Epic Bonus Feats]] (after level 15) provided they meet the [[NWN:Spellcraft|Spellcraft]] requirements. The duration of the spells will be based on Pale Master levels.
