The short of it is that your characters will have to deal with it.They're the only backup you've got, and each of your personal gods/patrons/whatever have made it clear that regardless of how you may despise it, you must work with them for the greater good.  You could try to convert them to mend their wicked ways, or keep an eye on them to ensure they are helping the good cause.Also, I'd like to point out that 'associating with evil' is not considered an evil act, and does not break a paladins code(It's listed SEPERATELY for paladins, not under their code, that they won't knowingly associate with evil) OR make an exalted person loose their exalted status.  It's HOW and WHY you interact with them that determines things like that.  I've also always disliked the whole "a paladin will not knowingly assocaite with evil creatures"... How do you redeem someone without associating with them?This doesn't mean you have to let them be evil and commit evil acts, precisely the opposite.  It just means you can work with them, and pretty much have to.It's a classic thing in most any story, the good and evil people have to team up to go against something beyond both of them, and I think it'll make for a very interesting story.Does anybody still have a problem with this, and if so what?Now, as far as WD's mage goes, my # 1 concern is: Dracolexi has a lot of interesting abilities, but the power words essentially useless at Epic.  The draconic words can be useful, depending on which ones you choose.As far as the dragonheart mage, might I suggest Improved Spellcasting instead of Epic Spellcasting?  I assume your main course of attack will be the breath weapon, and having improved spellcasting will give you higher level spell slots to sac for more damage (if you spent 3 epic feats on it, you'd be able to sac one of your 12th lvl spell slots for 36d6 damage (reflex DC22+cha for half).  I'd also suggest checking out dragon magic for extra draconic feats (such as Draconic vigor and Draconic Senses).</blockquote>
