Ren, I noticed you have a mount and such, but not the mounted combat feat. Was that on purpose? Also, Would you like Massacre to make room for your mount in his teleportation circle?
*Facepalm* Looks like I'm a chronic name klepto. I just realized that naming Sarenax's cathedral the Chapel of Death's Reach is really not original at all, given that it's the name of the game. Gah. I can change it, though I suppose it might be kind of appropriate. Grrr, I really need to be more careful to remember when I recycle names.
Haha, yeah, I missed that, too. I haven't gone through your char in detail yet. Calling your domain "Death's Reach"... won't really work in this game.

Yeah, that's ok. Oni, I think you're in the same boat, you took a 19 instead of a 20 item, yes?
covaithe: Good catch, somewhere along the line I got it in my mind the starting point buy was 21 not 22. Starting array should have been str:16, dex: 12, con:10, int:8, wis:12, chr:26. Which means I didn't have to take dual implement spellcasting at 21, so I'll have swapped paragon defenses or robust defenses instead if that's alright.

Yes. Thanks for noticing, I'm still changing a couple of things.
I'll post my changes shortly. He'll be a nightmare riding tough ass mofo
I've tried to make him tough to kill and tough to hold down. He's got a bunch of HP (although not as much as an ES warden) and can hopefully lockdown large portions of the field.

Covaithe - I have a couple more questions. Would it be reasonable to assume that the Raven Queen speaks to Sarenax occassionally, in some fashion? Not face-to-face in Letherna, but perhaps through an avatar or exarch, or as a disembodied voice? I've left the communication between RQ and Sarenax vague enough in his backstory that it could be audible communication or something more subtle, but I just want to know for reference.
Yes, that's fine. I'm thinking of direct visitation by a servant one step below an exarch. You'll work your way up.
On the character sheet:
You need to pick one more trained skill off the cleric list.
Black Feather of the Raven Queen's power should do 2 damage, not 3, yes?
The character builder claims that all your Implement powers with the Black Feather do +10 damage instead of +8. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out where the other +2 comes from. Any ideas? I'm starting to think it's a bug.
CB also claims that Divine Power heals you 5 from Healer's Lore, on the basis that it has the healing keyword, I guess. Not what I would have guessed, but not ridiculous... By that logic, the Gloves of the Healer property would apply too, for another 1d6.
Dragon's breath should be 3d6+2 damage.
Other than that, things look good. Background is fine, aside from the name of the cathedral.
You're right with the Black Feather power and Dragon Breath. One of the downsides of not using the CB - when I made little changes to ability scores, I didn't catch all the numbers that change.
I'll pick up Arcana for the cleric skill; should help a lot with rituals. When I switched background bonuses I forgot that it only put Bluff on my class list, got thinking it gave me training instead.
Not sure why it thinks +10 damage for the implement powers ... I don't recall taking anything that enhanced implement damage, so I think it's a bug. Maybe it's counting the Iron Armbands?
Shall I add 1d6+5 healing for Divine Power then? By that logic, Divine Armor should get the same bonus, and Raven Queen's Blessing should heal 1d6 extra hp, correct?
I also swapped out Epic Resurgence for Epic Reflexes, so I don't have that nasty 2X in my defenses line
How does Chapel of the Reaper's Harvest sound? And communication with a just-below-exarch is fine, I didn't mean to seem presumptuous there I was basically just checking to make sure you were ok with him having verbal communication with RQ or some divine agent of hers on occasion.
Edit: In case it wasn't clear, I fixed the things pointed out by Cov. Other than the bonus healing thing. Sheet is here.
As for background integration with Batin: Being the subtle type, it is likely he's had either infrequent but important contact (the time he helped Massacre with his mental state) or frequent but less noticed contact (in the background of several of Sarenax's ascension); you know, one of those "don't I recognize you?" sort of appearances. Just a thought.

Alrighty then, I used the extra bit of gold to add a ring of feather fall. I can totally picture him jumping down from tall places and landing all Hulk style.

I missed your edit with the backstory, KS, so thanks for pointing it out. I like it, and it sounds like something any DM could have a heyday with!
As for mechanics, I notice you took Weapon Expertise. Covaithe has said that we get a flat +1/+2/+3 bonus to all attacks at level 5/15/25, so you have an extra feat you can spend on something. I believe you've spent too much on your items as well - you only get 125,000 gp to spend (a level 20 item, not a level 21 item ). Other than that, not much I can comment on.
Also, I learned that Epic [Defense] is not a feat bonus, so you can stack it with other defense feats! That's very good to know.
Thanks for this, Lord Sessadore. Changes made, though I realize the Ioun stone is a luxury and re-investing two feats would give me the languages.

Actually this is why I got rid of my lvl 21 ioun stone of sustenance, with just 1 feat (being a revenant) I no longer need to eat, drink, or breathe... although now Kalas is no longer considered a living creature. Thankfully the MMMC should be fine with that.
Well, Sarenax will have a few things to say about undead in the party ... but if they are fellow servants of the Raven Queen, he'll calm down fairly quickly. If they're good enough for her, they're good enough for him

Just please don't turn him . Although Kalas is not only a servant of the Raven Queen, but a chosen of hers as well.
My level n-1 item is a 19 instead of 20, does that equal to 20,000 extra to do rituals and such with!? I thought that is what I read earlier...
I've yet to hear from Ata as well... Hopefully he is just having internet problems.
I'll post up Orelal "Massacre" Lunareth in the RG just as soon as I work his equipment out, meaning rituals mostly.
So far, Sarenax, Kalas, and Kylek, all participated in Orelal's rituals. When Ata gets back to us, I'll find out about Mr. Duran.
Do any of the potential sixth members wish to include there characters?
Currently, I'm going to assume that all five of Orelal's team members participated. Which makes the HS burden of the initial casting not as bad. Massacre will still have to keep his HS high to sustain each spell for the year and a day neccesary. (ten rituals tops currently, if that changes I'll update it before it hits the RG)
I'm debating a mount, but haven't come to a full decision yet... Has alot to do with the Level n-1 leftover gold, and if I want to use the feat for it.
Ok, I've updated my background in the RG. It'll be interesting to see the others reactions when Kalas arrives and they see their former companion turned into an undead creature (and he won't remember them)...good times.
I really dig the throwing shield... it's great for my PC because it should be rare that he can reach an enemy (as his mount can move up to 22 squares with a charge action), but in case of fliers (although he can delay and then hit them with Sudden Roots or Weight of Earth )

Are you sure you wanto to buy life shrouds? You won't be able to touch bodies that have them, since you're undead.
I'm going to say no to Dawn Warrior armor, since it's from.... E1: Death's Reach. You guys might find some, but no starting with it.
You guys and your cloaks of displacement. Sheesh! Somebody be original!
I think (anyone check me on this?) that the Ring of Invigoration's surge benefits from the Belt of Mountain Endurance, so that should be 54 HP.
Likewise Bear's Endurance.
Throwing shield as a ranged attack; I make it as +21 to hit: +10 (half level) +7 (str) +2 (from the shield's description) +2 (free expertise). What am I missing?
Son of Mercy PP is from Dragon 370; I think I'll allow it but I haven't really had time to think it over, so I reserve the right to nerf it after seeing it in play. If I do, you'll have a chance to pick something else.
Lawbreaker's Doom: when you hit the target, it's slowed until your ENT in addition to taking 7 extra damage.
Dispensed justice triggers when the LD target makes an attack that doesn't include you, not just when its attack does include someone else.
I'm not done with the powers yet, so I may have more to say in the morning.
