This is a sort of conceptualized NPC that'll be showing up in my game soon...he was thought up before Stormreach had those cool WF monk subs, but since they work so nicely...whee.

Argent, Guardian of the Flame
After Flamekeep, and all of Thrane, was conquered by the silvered tongue of Mialesse Miron, Jaela was forced to flee as her beloved pet and guardian was struck down. For quite some time she took refuge in the city of Eston, now controlled by a faction of Warforged producing more of their kind (different faction from the LoB). One day, she felt the NEED to pray...and went to one of the forges. She sat there in quiet contemplation for a full 24 hours. The next time the forge was activated, instead of producing the intended style of 'forged, it produced a unique one, body made of what was apparently Flametouched Silver, with the symbol of the Flame on his forehead. The newly created warforged was dubbed Argent, and pledged himself to serve her.

Argent, in brief:
Half-Celestial Warforged Monk 12
Argent has no wings or HD-based spell like abilities. Instead, his blows count as Silver (in addition to Good, and the various monk bonuses) for purposes of overcoming Damage Reduction. I'm also debating giving him a couple paladin abilities to compensate...
He also took the two warforged monk sub abilities.


Thoughts? He's not finalized.

If monk 12 is not set in stone, look at going Monk2/Paladin4/Argent Fist6. His name is Argent, lol. The Argent Fist allows your classes to stack for certain class abilities (pg 70 Faiths of Eberron). The balm of the silver flame and wrath of the silver flame abilities, IMO, fit Argent thematically.
