I'd say DR 15/epic and good I get the idea that the chaos aspect of his alignment is less important than the evil. And I'd be more than willing to bump that up to DR 20/epic and good. More in tune with the 3.5 archfiends.

Demiurge out.

Agreed. Better to not have two alignment-based components.

after looking, the skill ranks appear to be off by 9.

also, i'm not familiar with the Improved Death Attack feat.

It's essentially Ability Focus (death attack)...

IMPROVED DEATH ATTACK [EPIC]
Prerequisites: Death attack class feature, sneak attack +5d6.
Benefit: Add +2 to the DC of the character’s death attack.
Special: This feat may be taken multiple times. Its effects stack.

is that from the same source as epic poison crafting?

Should his effective rogue and/or assassin level be equal to HD (for the purposes of things like sneak attack and such)? Does that put him over his CR? Should we put him over a level 20 character's abilities in that way?

You are right on the skill ranks, I'd drop 9 from balance.

The improved death attack is from the Epic level Handbook, i think (it is on the epic feats section of the srd at least)

That would be fine, and there is precedent...a gloom is able to sneak attack as a 25th-level rogue (and it has 25 HD).

 

[BOZ]

OK, and a 36th-level rogue has sneak attack +18d6 as stated above? i could also use his 36th level for uncanny dodge and anything else that applies.

i would up taking it from Diplomacy, but there is room to shift things around. here is what i have, does anything look like it could be better utilized elsewhere?:

i'll have a look, thanks.

Edit: yeah, ELH allright. good one!

Shouldn't Craft(poisonmaking) be 61 (because of Epic Poison crafter), Jump +60 (39+5 str+12 speed, +4 synergy), Tumble 58 (39+15+4 synergy with jump), Use rope +25 (but +29 with binding (10+15+4 synergy with escape artist)), Survival +5 (+9 following tracks)

(Remember that you gain an extra +2 synergy bonus for each additional +20 ranks beyond 5 on the appropiate skill.)
