Hi playgrounders, 1st time poster long time lurker.

I've benefitted from your collective wisdom for a while and wondered if you can you help me with a character concept I've been toying with for a while?

The idea is a viable character playable at all levels who causes damage to the attacker when hit.
All 3.5 books are allowed with a 32 pt buy.

So far the best I've come up with is:
Human Str 15, Con 14, Dex 14, Int 12, Wis 14, Cha 10
1. Ardent - mantles phsical (vigor), conflict (prescience offensive)
2. Ardent - mantle fate (precognition offensive)
3. Ardent - (animal affinity)
4. Ardent - (precognition defence)
5. Ardent - mantle pain & suffering (empathic transfer hostile)
6. Ardent - (dimension slide)
7. Ardent - (empathic feedback)
8. Crusader
9. Crusader
10. Fighter - lightning reflexes
11. Hellreaver
12. Hellreaver
13. Hellreaver
14. Fighter - robilar's gambit
15. Hellreaver
16. Hellreaver
17. Ardent - (precognition defence)
18. Crusader
19. Crusader
20. Hellreaver

Feats:
1. combat reflexes, deft opportunist
3. linked power
6. stone power
9. practised manifester
12. expanded knowledge: inertial barrier
15. expanded knowledge: body purification
18. defensive sweep

I realise that binder is better for dealing with the Con loss with the hellreaver heroic sacrifice ability but I personally don't like the class and would prefer not to use it. Other ideas I have considered but discarded are holocaust cloak from ToB and mantle of flame from MoI but I can't really get them to fit into the build and still make it playable. All ideas welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Robiler's gambit letsy ou make AoOs whenever you're attacked. Combine with, say, sneak attack and a ring of Blink, and you shank somebodies kidneys out whenever they attack you.
