Exactly. The porgression of the character is:
Paragon 1
Paragon 1 / Warlock 1
Paragon 3 / Warlock 1
Paragon 3 / Warlock 9
Why I have done that, it is to give him a some skill outside the usual warlock, something to fit in the survival game. After all, he became a warlock for vengence, but he was suppose to follow his family and become an hunter/skinner. Instead of taking Ranger (which is a bit too much combat oriented) or teh Expert (NPC class are too weak), I found teh Human Paragon to be excellent, and also, the +1 caster level at level 2 and 3 don't slow down too much my invocation progression.

It's Sunday night for me at the moment so I won't get a chance to flesh out the details of my character until tomorrow.Jemal said:One More Thing - As I said, I'm excited to get this started, so I'll give bonus points for submissions within the next 24 hours.Don't worry about having a 2-page backstory, I probably would not read all of it right now anyways, I'm just looking for the basics of each character concept, what they can do, and why they're here, so we can pick some 'inmates' and get started on fleshing the party out as a whole.
At this stage I'm hoping to play a Changing Wizard 5 / Recaster* 5 / Geometer 2
* Recaster is a metamagic specialist from Magic of Eberron

I'm sure there's a feat - shift-grip? - or something that allows you to change your grip on a reach weapon (as a swift action) to be able to attack those adjacent to you... Can't remember what book it was in, or whether it was core for that matter.... But I'll try find it if it could be useful to you.

They brought him to court chained and beaten but he still gave off an aura of dread in those present. The people in the courtroom saw him and names spread in murmured whispers. Monster they called him. Fiend, bastard, and warmonger were also heard. It was indeed true. The destroyer of Qin had been captured.
The whispers soon stopped when the magistrate, Ping Luan, entered the room. "Xing'dao Li, Destroyer of Qin, you are charged with the crimes of heresy, consorting with fiends, conspiring against the Holy Emperor, practice of unholy magicks and the destruction of an entire province. You were once the most promising apprentice of the Iron Tiger, Ling Sai Foon. What drove you to choose this path?"
Rising up to his full height, Xing'dao Li towered above anyone else in the room. The chains attached to the collar of his neck rattled as he stretched them to their limits. In a deep booming voice he says "The old man was a fool. He knew nothing of the way to power. He always spoke of patience being the way to enlightenment and that the gods would grant boons to those who would wait. What did he know? The gods care nothing for us! They only require us for worship. It is from this worship that they gain power. I have found a way to steal their power and make it my own. I have no remorse in my actions. Those peasants were in my way."
The audience began to mutter angrily after this outburst by the monster with signs of a mob beginning to form. The magistrate slams his gavel and they became silent. "Xing'dao Li, you are sentenced to death in the penal dimension of Shang Hyo. May the gods have mercy on your soul."
Hearing his fate, Xing'dao can't help but smile. "I told you, the gods don't care about us mortals. But no matter, I will not die there. Rest assured, I will come back and exact my revenge on you all. HA Ha Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
His maniacal laughter remained in the room several minutes after he was taken away by the guards.

I'll go with a Monk 2/ Warlock 3/ Ur-Priest 2/ Sacred Fist 5

Hmmm, eventually what I'll have is a straight 10th level blackguard, but it'll be a gradual shift. I figure I'll start off probably Fighter 1 | Paladin 10 | Blackguard 1 (having swapped one of my paladin levels for blackguard, and in time, I'll trade a level back and forth, as per the rules of swapping with 11 or more Paladin levels.
I don't mind you playing your DeathKnight, the two of them could be quite potent together, and in time could be either good friends or good rivals, feeding off each other's wickedness. But for now, my guy would have pure loathing for yours, no offense

Our characters are very similar. Not a problem, really, but I think you might have some trouble getting the skills for Ur-priest together with this exact build. Unless, of course, you're planning on going human and pumping your intelligence to 16 (and I think int would normally be dump stat otherwise), or are thinking of going Illumian so that you can multiclass back into monk.
