Charon's Beloved... how would you build?

Hi all, I was wondering if you could suggest the some ways to write this up...

I was thinking of going hexcrafter/blackblade because I remembered there was some feat that let you use a touch ability with a melee weapon (cant remember the name now)and the combination of level draining (for a two level dip) +the black blade was just too cool.

but after looking at it, heck if I'm going that route I might as well go all the way.

I was thinking a sorcerer with daemon bloodline would be pretty cool because once your 4th level in this, you can use that insta-ageing to end any ongoing effect with no aging effects.

but what else would you do to optimize this... having that 7th level vampiric touch at will needs some optimization...

Soul Drinker is a very powerful build once you get high enough level to use it properly. Until then, it's going to be mostly utility.

One of my players in the current Skull and Shackles AP we are running is playing a Soul Drinker Wizard. They finally hit level 11 a few sessions back and he had a massive power jump. He lost the penalty to his physical stats from age (He started as old enough to have a +2 to all mental and -3 to all physical), and he got the touch attack that bestows negative levels. The negative level attack is brutal, and can very quickly turn a boss level encounter into an easy fight in just a couple of rounds.

You have to have a party willing to work with a VERY evil character though.
