Wow, the boat from Qeynos to Erud is making for some big adventures the last couple days. My first character ever was an erudite paladin and following the cues in the book that came with the game, I put some of my already badly allocated points in charisma. He was still viable over time and I'm glad I didn't ditch him. Erudite shadow knights have a bit more going for them.
It can be hard to start with melees as they are more gear dependent but don't let that deter you. There's also no reason you can't have both or more than two characters if you are interested. Anyway, corpses can be found. Water makes it harder but it can be done. Necromancers and bards both get that ability at fairly low level. The only problem for you is that at the dead quiet end of the world, you might have trouble finding someone who could help out casually. I will keep an eye out for Zaraboo and see if there's anything that can be done to help.
