I will soon be getting to play Way of the Wicked soon. I don't know what everyone else is playing yet. However, I have several concepts and was wondering if I could get everyone's opinions on whether they would work in this campaign (given that the group is basically Asmodeus aligned).
1) Cleric - Fiendish Vessel of one of the Horsemen.
2) Cleric - Undead Lord
3) A Tielfing of either a daemon bloodline or demon bloodline (but nor Chaotic Evil. Either NE or LE)
Necromancers are REALLY fun in this. I'm playing a JuJu Oracle now (much better than an Undead Lord IMO. The regular CLeric is actually better in the long run for a Necromancer) with a small undead army (mostly used to guard a location you'll get to in book 2).
It seems like you are liking the cleric path. I'm currently playing a cleric of Mephistopheles in a WotW game.
Currently rocking the fiendish vessel tiefling archtype, with Diabolist as my prestige class. I'm running around as a battle cleric type with two imps. Good times.
I'm running a WotW game now, and we're nearly done with book 1. Fair warning, I tend to run games with powerful characters as the assumption, and since this is WotW, I told them to go all out evil. Lawfully, of course. Also, we're using 3.x material as well, doing "conversions" where necessary, so it's a no-holds-barred be-as-evil-and-fun-as-you-can sort of game.
We do have a Dhampir (dread) necromancer, and he's been doing fine, but since many of the signature spells come later he feels incomplete. Book 2 should be much better for him. In the meantime, debuffs like Cause Fear will suit you well if you pursue the necromancer path.
We also have a Half-Fiend Dread from Psionics Expanded, a Nightmare something or other (outsider) working his way into Vampire and Fiend of Possession with some levels in this and that, a half-ogre dungeon crasher fighter working into War Hulk, and an Illumian Drunken Sensei Monk going into Ur Priest and Sacred (in this case Profane) Fist.
EDIT: added the races. Well, one I can't remember right now.
