Hey there everyone! This is my first post requesting build advice, although I've done a lot of reading on the BG boards before posting. I'm building a level 20 cleric character for a hypothetical epic Sigilian game my gaming group might play in the near future and would like some peer review. I'm aware that this character might never see play, but I'm really interested in the design itself. All WotC published 3.5 material except ToB is allowed for this homebrew-esque planescapes setting. Third party stuff isn't allowed, but Dragon magazine, homebrew stuff and setting specific material can be permitted with DM approval. Stuff from FR usually flies.
I want to build a necromancer, selling wondrous items in Sigil. I think the party as a whole will be a mercenary band of about 4-5 operating out of the same city. We all wear masks, use code names, keep our identities secret from the rest of the group, and we all have side projects going on. Mine is my item shop and my place as a high priest in Boccob's temple. The character, who can be called Mr. White, will have turned to undeath for RP reasons, and thus fallen to an evil alignment.
Things about the build that are set in stone:
- Cleric of Boccob. There's some transparency between Mystra and Boccob, so the infamous Initiate feat could fit into the build
- Feats: Item Familiar, Craft Wondrous, DMM: Persist, Planar Touchstone: Catalogues of Enlightenment, Silent Spell, Magical Training
- Spell-stitched undead, probably through Necropolitan (Being corpsecrafted would be subject to DM approval)
- Dweomerkeeper 10
- His main shtick will be Bestow Greater Curse (BoVD version)
- He won't really speak much, so some form of Telepathy would be brilliant
- For RP reasons related to Boccob's church, he won't use spells like dispel magic and its ilk or destroy magic items, which could be a major weakness
I'm thinking the build will be Cleric 5/Divine Oracle 4/Dweomerkeeper 1/Contemplative 1/Dweomerkeeper 9. Item Familiar will allow me to keep up with the party xp after losing xp to Necropolitanizing myself and crafting items.
What do the brilliant minds here think?
Edit: Forgot the bit about Telepathy
