Mordane: If you'd like to spend money on a planar fortress, please, be my guess (replace 'fortress' with house, apartment, hovel, what have you).
All: I have received two pc's in word format via email. For final consideration, I ask that all of you send me your characters when finished in a word document. This is where I will look over the mechanics and what not to make sure everything is kosher.
Jaik: I am going to have a look at the Paragon template in more detail and may decide on raising the ECL. It seems that, again, the ELH hasn't done a great job of balancing ECL and CR. I'll return with my verdict. In the meantime, please think of what changes you might want to make if I decide to reduce or ban the template altogether.

You know, the more I read the Paragon template, the more I thought "Heck yeah, I'll take this for 15 levels." And then I bought equipment and it just got worse.
Oh yeah, so far, I think I've seen a cleric, monk, fighter, and sorcerer in various combinations as well as some mention of a bard. Is a rogue out of the question, or would a godly infiltrator be feasible?

Iuris -- Background
Iuris – whose name means “Oath,” the Silver Arm of Equitas, began existence as many celestials do – born from the will of his god, forged to do battle against evil. The early years were a blur; hard-fought battles against the legions of darkness, regrouping to safer grounds, and then returning to plunge deeper into enemy territory. In one of these horrific battles, young Iuris lost his left arm to a powerful babau demon – he tore the monster to pieces, and then fell unconscious, thinking his purpose was served.
He awoke several days later, lying in the great temple of his God. He looked to his side… and saw the silver arm. He sat up, and asked the hospitaler what had happened. “Your unit was victorious, archon, and you were brought to us. We have done what He commanded be done to you. Go – speak to the Seer. He has words for you from Him.”
Trembling, Iuris left the infirmary, and immediately sought out the Seer. He came upon a scarred and aged ghaele in the secluded glade of the temple. Before he could speak, the Seer turned to regard him. “You have come, finally. No more rest for you. You, your silver arm will build the Bastion. You will keep the line. Go – build. He commands it. He will give you the power – he will send you the people. You will be his Arm. You will be his fist.”
Those words… Iuris has followed them ever since. He constructed Equitas’ Bastion, on the edge of the plains, as a border keep to protect from infernal incursions. He has slowly increased his understanding of his place in the clergy of Equitas, and has honed his martial skills in countless battles against demonic forces.
His keep also serves a as sanctuary for the poor and refugees, and his employees and watchmen serve the poor who seek out the keep, offering beds and food, as well as safety from the roaming devils and other unsavory beings.

Mordane: Could you post the breakdown of the following abilities of your character?
Saves
Ability Scores (Including starting score, please)
Attacks
Damage
After doing some calculations of my own, I have come up with different numbers (Unfortunately for me, they are in your favor!
) So I just want to make sure I'm doing the same thing you are.
ALL: For those of you who haven't done this, please do so. It will make my life easier and will move the game along much quicker.
So far, everything else looks good though...I only have three Word files from you guys so that means that there are three of you who haven't sent yours in. Your character is officially "done" when I have a MS Word copy.
