I have been writing a setting for close to a year now, and am finally coming around to actually statblocking the various important personages in charge of the various orders/guilds/nations/organizations/churches. most of these have been pretty straightforward, however this particular NPC has me torn between several different routes and looking for inspiration, so I submit this to you in hopes you might be able to give me advice on what to use to make it work.
Background, spoilered incase my players run across the thread
Name is Tondal Argeris, 1st member of the celestial council of illumination, and about the closest thing to pure Lawful Good that exists on the material plane at the moment. He is Heironeous' favored champion at this time, but is not "lawful stupid"
so the dilemma is what to use to represent such a powerful martial character, while at the same time keeping the feeling/flavor of being a deity's favored champion.
Score set is Elite array, Human, Half-celestial template with buyoff allowed, 20th level. I'd like to stick to 20th level NPC wealth total, however given his prominence in the setting its not a hard and fast thing. allowed sources are all official WoTC 3.5 material excepting campaign setting books.
what are your recommendations? favored soul? paladin/something? crusader I had thought of but it just doesn't feel quite right. I have no idea if he will or will not ever fight a player, as the party is unknown at this time.
