Let's say I'm building for 12th level. What (base) race do I go with?  What class? What items? Feats? Which will best emulate the ABILITIES of the original?  Likely Classes: Warlock (Infernal)-- lots of dark, necro, & vampiric type powers.  Esp. useful are vampire-like utilities like spider scuttle.  Downside: little emphasis on his fighting ability (multiclass rogue & pickup a rapier pact blade?)Rogue-- I can emphasize the fencing aspect & his agility.  Downside: Not very supernatural.  Perhaps items & multiclassing can aid this. Fighter-- Definately emphasizes his fighting fitness & toughness, but doesn't seem to fit right.Ranger-- Again, good for the fencing/agility aspect, not so good for the supernatural.Swordmage-- Good for the swordsmanship & supernatural aspect, but the flavor is wrong-- too elemental, not dark enough...Likely Races: Human (closest to the original story, but probably not best for what I am trying to do)Half-Elf: good if I go warlock(infernal)Elf: Good if I go Rogue or Ranger.  Eladrin: Not sure on this one.  Shadar-Kai-- seems to fit the theme-- would be mediocre for Rogue or Warlock though-- though I would like to be Infernal warlock if I went that way.  Tiefling: No-- I will not have horns.  Only way I would pick this is if the GM allows me to take tiefling and "reskin" as human.What do you guys think?  Can someone suggest a build for 12th level?</blockquote>
