In Which Shay Answers Some Questions of Import
Veil of Allure is from Magic Item Compendium. It adds +2 DC to enchantment spells, and to the DC's of Su abilities based on Cha. A must for any serious Beguiler.
Lose Baleful Utterance and Charm.
The bonus to Jump is based on the bonus to land speed. Any increase to ground movement results in a bonus to Jump as well. See the SRD under the Jump skill for details.
An invocation that gives access to any elemental type is pretty serious...I'd call it Lesser at least, even if it lacked special effects (like burning damage, dex penalties, etc). Granted, a Warlock always has a non-elemental damage type available, but using energy types lets him take advantage of vulnerabilities that he'd normally have to spend multiple invocation slots on. Also, fire doesn't negate wood's hardness, and in fact does half damage to wood.
Complete Mage does indeed have a PrC for Warlocks that makes them "celestial" based, and gives them two special blast types. One is Spiritual Blast, that does bonus damage to undead, and can affect incorporeal beings with no chance of missing. The other is Holy Blast that does bonus damage to evil outsiders, and inflicts a Dimensional Anchor on them as well.
Bonus trivia!
Officially illithid are asexual. The mechanism by which tadpoles are produced is best not dwelled on.

Hmmm, I might have to reallocate some of my funding. I was curious how you got your DC to 26, but now I know...
Potent indeed.
Oh, and illithids probably reproduce in one of two methods: splicing, like worms; or by spores, like trees, cross polination. That's my guess!

Actually, from what I've read (I used to be into Illithids), the tadpoles are produced by the giant brain that resides in each colony, and then these tadpoles are inserted into the brains of certain creatures, and take it over, eating/replacing the brain and metamorphosing the creature, creating an Illithid. (If inserted into the wrong type of creature, that is how a Half-Illithid is created).

So in actuality, Illithids really are just a race of parasites? I didn't know this. They're a disease. How depressing would that be, no wonder they're all evil.

I'm thinking for little brother to make him a Positive Cleric, Melee oriented with extra turn feats. For some reason I am envisioning epic battlefields littered with undead and just us Enemies of the State.
Eventually (in my mind at least) a permanent enlarge with a reach weapon could suffice for him and he can just great cleave himself through the masses and turn those more powerful.
Does this seem okay?

My favourite cleric ever was Gor, a half-ogre Cleric/Fighter who hated hurting people, but could smoosh you with his pinky if he had to.
First got him in a tournament, and used him to grapple a bunch of the more annoying rougish types we couldn't beat. "Why you trying to hurt us? Gor not want to hurt you."(We got 2nd place that year, btw).yeah, A buffed Half-ogre cleric with Improved Grapple can shut down just about anything that doesn't like being grabbed.
Though when we DID see the Undead.. holy cow, stay outta his way! Greatmaul+Divine Might=Fun.

That sounds lovely! Oddly enough, I was envisioning a greatmaul too.
Bottom line, though, Latham is the guy I want to run, having a secondary character, while I want a personality and background, I don't want him to upstage anyone, Latham or anybody else's character.
But I do like the idea of a 'slower' character, your Gor sounds like a blast!
