Character Quandary: Which to play?


Advice

Scarab Sages

I'm joining a city-based 17th lvl campaign and I'm at a loss what to play. The problem is they seem pretty set on just about everything so I'm free to build whatever.
Campaign is lightly evil in alignment.

Party has:
Inquisitor of Asmodeus (mace and shield bash/secondary face)
Half-Giant Four winds Monk (enemy liquidizer/scout)
Arenea Sorceror/psion (party face/mind control)
Worm-that-walks blaster wizard (electrical fireballs of death)
Waves Oracle (Whirlwind attack/High AC, some heals)

My Ideas were:
Race for all: Strix (for RP reasons)
Anti-Paladin (probably of Asmodeus: GM has allowed LE Antipally)
Hellknight (not many chaotic-aligned things though)
Maneuver Master Monk
Dread (Psionic fear/intimidate based CC'er)
Some archer build
Blackblade Magus

So, lots of ideas. I would like some conversation ability, but I won't be face as the Sorceror has that in spades.

Backstory:

Spoiler:
Character is seeking the gems of four close friends and companions from a previous life (it's complicated). He also aims to Kill to Death any person involved in the gems' creation, protection, or consealment.

Help?


I don't see a buffer in your party. fill that part with bard or witch?

Bard will be taking a -2 cha from the Strix racial. :(

Witches buff? [/news-to-me]

Well I guess more of a debuffer. I consider Fortune to be a pretty nice buff, and evil eye could be argued as a buff... they DO have some buff spells on their spell list, possibly some more from Patrons.

Sorry, maybe I should have said (de)buffers.

Has anyone played the Hellknight PrC? It looks Pretty spiffy and the total dedication to law has some good flavor. Does it work, overall?


Since it seems your doing psionics, look at the tactician. It's a great buffer. The -2 charisma won't help, but intelligene is more important than charisma for a tactician. The collective mechanics are really quite cool, in my opinion.

A strix alchemist would rock. Flying around dropping bombs from above. With the infusion discovery you can buff allies as well.
