Was bored and began to play around whit some deferend character builds, while I at a point came to think of Arthas from the Warcraft universe, and desided to try and make a DnD 4e tribute version of him as a PC.

The build will be focus around him as the Lich king and he will be boosted to lvl 30 (since iam not going to play it) so what i need help whit is.

1. What base class should i build him on? I know he is a Paladin before the coruption, but was thinking to build him over a Blackguard instead. Or would a other class be more suited looking from a power choose view, have to be powers where he uses his weapon though IMO (will then just use feats to get him in plate and use the right weapon if necessary)

2. Race. thise may seem straight foward since he is a Human... but i want him after the coruption so was thinking of making him a Vryloka for the more undead theme.

3. Weapon choose. Are looking at these 4 swords to use as Frostmourne: Broad Sword 1H Military, Bastard Sword 1H Superior, Great Sword 2H Military or Fullblade 2H Suprerior. (again I will use feats if necessary)

4. what magic power should "Frostmourne" have. was thinking of "lifedrinker weapon"

Thanks Spinhx

Please add ideas if you think of something importaint that he need to have that i have not pointed out above.

I would also go with Revenant for the race.

However, Arthas was a good paladin before the whole scourge thing, so you could build a blackguard pally, and put something in his backstory about why he changed.

Revenant Human is probably a good base, or you could go Eladrin, and take the Winterkin Heritage feat and go full on Frostcheese. Eladrin (Winterkin) allows for the Brelani Wintersoul PP which is nice, and I think there's a 'frosty' ED; don't have my books though, so don't quote that part.
