Here's the build:

BAB +7
Fort 10 (7)
Ref 5 (3)
Will 6 (7)

AC: 20, flatfooted 18, touch 12
Grapple: +12
Speed: 20’
Initiative: +12

Feats (6)
Improved Binding, Power Attack, Weapon Focus: Greatsword, Imp Bull Rush, Shocktrooper, Improved Initiative

Skills (65 points)

Can't cast spells, but can use UMD, etc.
Magic Draining Attacks (Will, DC 16 (10 + Cha), suppresses a magic item 1 round, random or chosen)
All human traits

Binder Abilities
2 Vestiges at once
Pact Augmentation (3 abilities): Initiative +2, To Hit +1, AC +1, HP +5, DR 1 / -, Damage +1, Evergy Resistance 5 (all 3 points put into Initiative)
While Bound: Slippery Mind, Immune to Fear
Suppress Sign
Bind 6th level vestiges

Equipment (start w/ 50000 gp)
GP 670
Vestige Philactery (stores one vestige for recall as a full-round action: Buer)
Belt of Giant Strength +4
Cloak of Charisma +4
+1 Greatsword (+13, 2d6+7, PA: up to 2d6+21)
Mithral Full-Plate
Hat of Disguise (currently set to look like an Elf Wizard wielding a Longsword)
Implements of Binding +4 (+4 on binding checks)

Start out with Naberius and Haures bound for social work and some manipulation, but will switch to Chupoclops and Dahlver-Nar for combat situations (Shield Self + Relentless charge just seems so appealing).

Any thoughts about equipment or feats that I should switch out?

Um, what books are you guys using? That would help us a bit...

Are you planning on being the meatshield/beatstick? It is a nice build that way if you are, but usually I have heard of Binders being used very sparingly (as a dip for a specific vestige) or as Jack-of-all-trade type characters...

Sorry if that wasn't helpful, but the build looks pretty nice to me.
