[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 4910154, member: 82504"] The Emperors of Melnibone were largely Martial by this time in history and there sorcerory ... was largely ritual.... so it's not so obvious he isnt a fighter on wierd alchemy to give him a decent constitutions with learned spell caster .. multiclassing in to his summoning wizardry... we probably have numerous builds possible ;-). Charisma based starlock / Paladin seems entirely possible. not quite getting invoker? I am tempted to call Arioch a Vestige that Elric has awakened... but really the basic temp hitpoints on death of your cursed victim is ummm awefully perfect. Solid arguments that Elric is best designed as Paragon even starting out with a rich number of magic items to top it off... I knee jerk want minimalist approaches too. (ie can I design him as a level one? can even his magic item be built in to the character?) There is still debate open in my mind... a mix of a magic item and part of his warlockhood.. might be most satisfying. Arctorios is associated with his summonings .. it is a component in his ritual magics (perhaps reducing the casting cost or the key ingredient in doing instant summonings (Strasshah) as something separate from when he calls on Arioch)... and identifies him to both the demon lords of chaos and the elemental and beast lords... it is in some ways his Eventually his alchemy increases his constitution to make him relatively healthy.. he could be given moderate con (but I am fairly certain that too much con would feel just plain wrong) ... rather like not having martially flavored at-wills would be bad. A warlock with eldritch strike could work as well and like reapers touch using white lotus feats to create snazzy fighting moves.. [/QUOTE]
