[QUOTE="Turtlejay, post: 5010228, member: 70267"] How do you want him to *be* a champion of death? I think most people are going to see Raven Queen in that description, and that screams a Divine character. Within that realm, you have a few options, the best of which are Paladin, Cleric, and Avenger. It all depends on how you want to approach this character evangelizing his God. If it is only a matter of slaying that which needs to be slain, then go Avenger. If it is a question of converting others to his way of belief, then Str Cleric. If you believe you are protecting a way of thinking or a set of values, then go Paladin. Or, reflavor any of those to work with any mindset. If Raven Queen doesn't fit, then you could justify a lot of things. I'd stay away from classes that have a flavor of long years of training (Warlord, Fighter, Wizard, etc) unless you want to weave that in somehow, and go with classes that speak of . . .death and pain. Assassin, Warden, Barbarian, Ranger, Sorcerer could all work with this concept, but some of those are considerably less durable then I'd think you want. So. . .durability *and* an otherworldly obsession with Death? I would take either Warden (since primal characters get a few more HP's per level, add a relatively high con and Toughness) or Paladin (high AC and extra surges give you durability, but you may drop to a particularly vicious opponent). Since you stated you want to fight till you die, that pushes me in the direction of Paladin. Warrior background, conversion to Death and Her Queen, with fanatical devotion and commitment to your cause... I would also echo the reccomendation to choose Revenant, with their mechanical benefits and the 'flavor' of being risen from the dead, you complete a picture. See how your DM will let you flavor the undead warrior in the full plate mail. Never take it off. Let slip that you may or may not have a body under there. Good times. Jay [/QUOTE]
