PaleMasters with death domain cleric level

Ok, so as a background to this post I built a 9wiz/1ftr/13PM toon where I took the ftr level before death domain clerics were allowed in MA. After the change I decided to delevel my toon to level 19 and take death and evil domain cleric level instead of the ftr level.

At level 20, with 9wiz/1ftr/10PM the summon is exactly the same as the 9wiz/1cleric (death domain)/10PM summon.

Perhaps there is some scripting problems that exist with MA and the death domain cleric making the UNDEAD PM summon stronger? I was hoping it would make the summon stronger since the summon doesnt get any better after until 20PM levels.

Thanks ahead of time for any feedback on this issue.

a max'd summon is max'd no matter what you pour into it. just adding all that stuff in means you have hit the max and can't go any higher.

How do you know when you hit max unless you check every time something is supposed to boost?

When your summon get +12 in str, dex and con and you cannot buff these stats anymore. I have heard that the number of palemaster levels also have an effect as increasing fx. AC and cold damage.

Ok. Then I have another question. The wiki says that both death domain cleric and epic spell focus necro help undead summons. If the PM summon is "maxed" then taking epic spell focus necro will not be helpful for the summon either, yes?

Shouldn't all the bonus for the undead summons go into making any undead summon better? For the blackgaurd it helps in getting the devil at earlier levels, perhaps the same should be true for PM?

you have to have spell focus necro to max your PM summons. starting at lvl 15pm, iirc, with greater spell focus you summon is max'd until lvl 20pm. at which point when you have epic spell focus it becomes max and stays the exact same until lvl 30pm....which is disappointing given the fact that you have to buff his ac so that he can live.
