Hello all, I'm looking for advice on how to create interesting builds for several homebrew classes I worked on (and one that was made for me) back last year. I've run them once in my RL game, and now I turn to the playground to give me your thoughts on how you'd fulfill the prereqs and build an interesting character with these classes.
Disciple of Bel (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=143257)- Infernal commander with aura powers
Disciple of Dispater (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145788)- Devotee of the Lord of Dis, turned to iron
Disciple of Mammon (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146561)- Diabolic guildmaster/master of greed
Disciple of Belial/Fierna (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=143313)- Spellcaster who uses either intimidation or false cowering and seduction to manipulate her enemies
Disciple of Levistus (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=143178)- Swordsman who uses his charisma to befuddle his enemy
Disciple of Glasya (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=143058)- Heavily deformed unarmed fighter
Disciple of Baalzebul (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146626)- Rage-filled master of insects
Disciple of Mephistopheles (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145356)- Cabal running pact creator
Disciple of Asmodeus (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146663)- Fear-based overlord

He must make a DC 17 fort save every 24 hours for 7 days after he ingests the poison or take 1d4 Constitution damage (this damage doesn’t heal naturally while they are still poisoned). If he makes 2 successful saves in a row the sickness is immediately purged (And in this case he would then be whisked away to Dis to be reborn).

Special: In order to become a Disciple, a prospective candidate must attract the attention of a suitable devil by sacrificing a living, sentient being of at least 8 HD in a fire that burns with Helfire. The devil will materials as the screams die, at which point a contract of service may be negotiated. When the negotiation is complete [for this to not be entirely in Mephistopheles' favour, a DC 25 Diplomacy check is needed], the character's Iron Will feat is replaced with Brand of the Nine HellsFC2. The character is now free to enter the Disciple class.
Asmodeus-Alignment: Lawful evil.
