[QUOTE="Darth Vyce, post: 4118468, member: 62601"] Here is something that might work for you ... Race: Human Template: Necropolitan (LM/LA+0) Martial Monk(Dragon310) 2/Eldritch Warrior Fighter 18(Dragon355) BaB: 19 Saves: 14/9/9 HD: 20d12 Feat Suggestions [list][*]Armored Savant* [*]Daunting Presence [*]Death Master [*]Eviscerator [*]Improved Critical [*]Postive Energy Resistance [*]Undead Leadership or Leadership [*]Improved Toughness [*]Improved Turn Resistance (LM)[/list] [SIZE=1]* Eldritch Warrior variant ability[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]* LM = Libris Mortis[/SIZE] With this basic setup you will be able to mimic all of the abilities that you mention in your OP. The cool thing about this setup is that you will be able to use evasion if you can purchase some mithril full plate (the armored savant variant ability counts armor as one level lighter so heavy armor is medium etc). Because you are undead you have a number of interesting options open to you, one of which is the [i]Eviscerator[/i] feat tree ... which will be loads of fun at higher levels. :) The undead leadership or leadership feat will cover the mount. You also specified in your OP that he will be "sealed" inside his armor. The eldritch warrior fighter variant will allow you to expand upon that idea. There are some interesting abilities such as spell resistance and bonuses to AC while wearing a specific set of armor. If you want your knight to be silent make sure to pick up the able learner feat. This way you will be able to max out your hide and move silently skills. Throw in a suit of silent/shadow mithril full plate and your enemies will never see ya coming. Lastly, you will have roughly 11 bonus feats plus an extra one for being human! Well hope that helps some. :) [/QUOTE]
