The Sanguine Seraphen of Scarlet Speech and Spiel The Trancendental Teacher of the Treatise of the Talking Tirades and Tropologic Tidings BRADLY REMINGTON MARQUE LAMONT JUS'TEECE Illumian Marshall 1/warlock2/binder1 (future levels will all be monk) As the title says its a diplomacer build but also has Vow of Peace, Poverty, and Nonviolence. Also My alignment is neutral good when we start even though warlock requires a chaotic one. I just can't think of something to tie this all together. The warlock to binder jump is easy but the VOP marshall is kind of a tough one. Personality wise he is just a really nice guy that doesnt' want to hurt anything but LOVES attention. I'm thinking maybe something like he grew up in a wealthy home but grew weary of the gawdly lifestyle and wanted to live a simpilar life where he could help out the needy and downtrodden and explore mysterious arcane methods. Any feedback would be great PS everytime he comes to town he has some one anounce him with the entire speech at the begining of this post.

This can be represented mildly through the marshall's minor aura, then it can manifest into the warlock's eldritch powers and finally through the binder's power. The origin of this power? A hidden supernatural bloodline or someone in his family made a pact with some otherworldly power (fey, demon, celestial, heck... maybe even Illuman in nature). Remember don't be bogged down by class names too much if you need to explain multi-classing. To explain, VoP. That's really a choice. Maybe after Bradly grew tired off his gawdy lifestyle he decided to seek enlightment thus taking VoP and Monk (which I think you mentioned). Come to think of it. You might want to read the Race of Destiny's chapter on Illumans. They have a lot of roleplaying application that are different from the standard races and I think it might be good source of ideas. I'd suggest reading about their society & culture, and 'Final Seeds'.
