This is my first post to the forum. Any help would be appreciated. Any WotC source is available, although I'll need Dragon Magazine issue numbers.

Ending build:
Binder 1/Eidolon 2/Fiend of Possession 6/Master of the Unseen Hand 5/X 6
(binding Ronove at levels 1-2 for flavor reasons, and Naberius thereafter, to take care of the Charisma damage from Poltergeist Rage)
BAB@14: 10 (10.75 fractional)
AB with telekinesis@14: +19/+14/+9, +Cha
Base Saves@14: F7 R5 W14 (F7.83 R7.67 W9 fractional)
Skill requirements: Hide 6, Knowledge Arcana 6 (both by level 3), Concentration 8 (by level 5)

28 point buy
Str 8
Dex 10
Con 14
Int 14 (necessary to meet skill requirements for FoP at level 3, due to cross class skills)
Wis 8
Chr 18 (all level ups to Cha)

1 Binder 1 [i] Open [/i] <br /> 2 Eidolon 1 [i]Bonus: Ghost Hand[/i]<br /> 3 Eidolon 2 [i]Poltergeist Hand Bonus: Poltergeist Rage[/i]<br /> 4 Eidolon 3 (will convert to FoP after Life Epiphany)<br /> 5 Eidolon 4 [i]Bonus: Open[/i] (will be lost after Life Epiphany) (will convert to FoP after Life Epiphany)<br /> 6 Eidolon 5 [i]Improved Poltergeist Hand[/i] (will convert to FoP after Life Epiphany)<br /> 7 MotUH 1<br /> 8 MotUH 2<br /> 9 MotUH 3 [i]Open (possibly Ghostly Grasp, or Leadership)[/i]<br /> 10 MotUH 4<br /> 11 MotUH 5<br /> 12 FoP 1(4) [i]Open[/i]<br /> 13 FoP 5<br /> 14 FoP 6

I've gone ahead and cleaned up the initial post, and changed the build a bit.

If anyone has any questions about GW mechanics I'd be happy to oblige.

My original build used Deep Imaskari (the only non-elf humanoid that qualifies for Otherworldly), but in that I wasn't taking advantage of any of the race's abilities I reckoned paying for a PAO both was more optimized and got rid of FR material.

Wouldn't it just be better to stay a Ghost?

If you mean the MM Ghost, I don't think so, due to the LA.

If you mean the GW Ghost, being raised and reslain at level 12 allows me to convert 3 levels to FoP, effectively only having 3 levels in base classes. Considering both FoP and MotUH are best at lower levels, this seemed paramount.

Consider this a 6 month bump in a last ditch effort to get a little help on this build. I have a new question, as well.

Do people think it would be worthwhile to pull bloodline cheese with Binder PrCs for the remaining levels? I could swing an EBL of 16 without feats by 20th level. The fact that I'm still unsure if I'd prefer this build for a cohort or PC makes me waffle a bit.
