Q224: Is there any way for a cleric to qualify for frost mage without dropping a caster level to take a level of an arcane caster?
If not what is the best arcane caster class I can take considering I will never be casting any of its spells? Dread Necro?
A 224:
I don't know if Southern Magician helps here.
That one either made arcane divine or divine arcane, can't remember.
Generally, yes. Dread Necromancer gives you another pool of Turn Undead for DMM.
Hell, I'd dip 1 level into DreadNec for any generic DMM Cleric build, could I do it fluff-wise.
I can soak 1 lost caster level for twice the amount of turn attempts.
