Also about your build what about Monk(HB)4/Duskblade 1/Dragon Disciple 10?? The duskblade would really build into what I have in store for the campagin, and give you some extra spells with attunement and I see Aidan using spells like Stand without even knowing he's casting a spell.
I think that I'd need to re-key the Duskblade's spellcasting progression, or I'd um... not be casting many spells. Would you okay Aidan's casting being keyed to Charisma? Otherwise I doubt it would be very effective at all, unless we found artificial methods of jacking Aidan's intelligence up.
Also: Unless we find a method to allow Aidan to wear armor without losing his Monk-based abilities, I'd need to swap something out for those as well. I can do that with your system already though. The re-keying for the spellcasting and Attunement are the most important things that I see causing an issue with Aidan matching the class.
That aside, I could definitely see it working(wouldn't work the abjurant Champion bit I had in mind originally, but that's a side idea anyhow, and now I have access to the PHB2, so Duskblade is a possibility.)
In fact, I think it'd be rather hilarious to see Jareth's reaction when he starts manifesting nearly identical abilities with a similar weapon the next time they meet. I can imagine he'd either be angry, confused, or both.
Btw, Monk 4/Duskblade 1/DD 10 takes me to level 15. Were you planning to stop the campaign there, or was that just a basic build concept?
