I've come up with a rough draft for a final character concept.  I'm probably gonna need a little help on it, though, to make certain I have all the mechanics right:  I'll refresh myself with the stuff Pyrex posted when I asked about the template stuff earlier in the thread, but I'm still not entirely certain I have it completely down pat.  I'll try working up a character sheet, in the meantime, and post it once I'm done.Warlock 1 / Half-Vampire Rogue 1Warlock 2 / Half-Vampire (LA)Warlock 3 / Half-Vampire (LA)Warlock 4 / Soulknife 1Warlock 5 / Fighter 1Warlock 6 / Soulknife 2Warlock 7 / Rogue 2Warlock 8 / Soulknife 3Warlock 9 / Rogue 3Warlock 10 / Soulknife 4* Half-Vampire template is from Libris Mortis, pp. 107-108.Illuvia Kollarin had unwittingly been seduced by a vampire and fed upon, yet was not killed.  Illuvia was a sorceress of minor repute, with ambition to become someone of great power and importance.  When she discovered she was somehow pregnant by the vampire, Illuvia decided to offer the unborn child as a sacrifice to abyssal forces in exchange for greater power.Tarris Kollarin was born nine months later, and ten days after his birth, Illuvia began the ceremony that would allow her to sacrifice her child to the Abyss to keep the power she had gained through her unholy pact.  A small adventuring party, however, found Illuvia as she raised the sacrificial dagger to take her own child's life, and battle ensued.  Illuvia was killed, and Tarris was taken to an orphanage in a nearby city to live.From the beginning, Tarris seemed a little... unnatural.  His skin tone was paler than most, yet he carried himself in such a way that made him more striking than most other boys.  Some said he could get away with almost anything, due to his charm.  It was not until he reached his teenage years, however, that Tarris was befriended by an older gentleman who seemed to know much about Tarris.This 'gentleman' was actually a warlock, a member of the adventurers who had killed Illuvia to save Tarris, and had elected to remain in the city and keep watch over him from afar.  When Tarris started to exhibit certain mystical abilities, the warlock knew that something had happened during that ceremony... and that there was a mystery behind Tarris that needed solving.It was a strange meshing of arcane magic and psionic power that seemed to mark Tarris, as well as a certain roguish streak.  With the warlock's help, Tarris learned of his true heritage as a half-vampire.  Shortly thereafter, however, the same vampire that had sired him through Illuvia reappeared, killing the warlock while Tarris was away; apparently, Tarris's vampire sire had also been watching his progeny from afar.Discovering the body of his warlock friend, Tarris made a solemn vow to himself:  never again would he allow the undead to roam freely and terrorize the living.  He may never be truly accepted by the living, but he would fight until his dying breath to make certain the undead would never hold sway over the world.====================================================================In case this concept doesn't fly (which I think will be somewhat dependent upon the factors emanating from having that Half-Vampire template from Libris Mortis), I do have an alternative in mind:  most likely Changeling/"Faceless" Rogue/Chameleon - Warlock, although I'm still tempted by the prospect of having Soulknife levels in there as well.  I'll work up a character sheet for that character as well, just in case.</blockquote>
