That'll work.

Okey-dokey skills next?

52 skill points, max rank is 13 = 4 maxed skills.

Fighter skills are Climb, Craft, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Jump, Ride, and Swim.

Should we give it some racial skills as well? Knowledge (the planes - well efreets), Spot, Survival?

And 6 more feats - do we stick to SRD or use some of the other fighter feats from PHB2?

Cleave, Combat Expertise, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, Whirlwind Attack

Treasure: I think his gear will cover that

CR: 11?

Organization: Solitary, cell (2-6), brotherhood (10-50)

Yeah, I'd say Knowledge (the planes) at the very least.

Stick to SRD.

Cleave, Combat Expertise, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, Whirlwind Attack

Those look pretty good.

Treasure: I think his gear will cover that

Indeed. Standard (see text)

CR: 11?

Technically, CR 10 since it has no racial Hit Dice. However, we can borrow this from the drow:

Challenge Rating: Drow with levels in NPC classes have a CR equal to their character level. Drow with levels in PC classes have a CR equal to their character level +1.

Organization: Solitary, cell (2-6), brotherhood (10-50)

How about "crusade" rather than "cell". It sounds more knightly, eh?

Good job they're all SRD

I thought that perhaps the special abilities were worth +1

Yeah i was thinking more along the lines of a religious knightly order but there's no indication of that. IIRC somewhere I read that a group of knights was called a 'lance' but I may be imaging things - about to leave work so cannot check it out

Determining LA using Savage Species guidelines...

+1 for unbalanced ability scores
+1 for natural armor bonus
----------------------------
+2 total

This seems about right, since drow are +2. The sollux's +4 natural armor and really good ability score adjustments balance out with the drow's spell resistance and spell-like abilities.

Things we still need to address:

Alignment: Always (?) lawful neutral
Automatic Languages: Common, Ignan. Bonus Languages: ?.

Anything else?

 

[GrayLinnorm]

Are you doing sollux as characters? If so, alignment probably shouldn't be "always".

Yes we are, so good point.

Usually or often LN, then?

You could argue that Sun Brothers are always LN (as part of the brotherhood) but sollux themselves are usually/often LN.

I've attached a picture of a Sollux/Sun Brother fighting an efreet.
