As you can see i use Savage progression + Legacy Champion for acquiring full template without crippling the build with +4la and Labuyoff and Item Familiar to gain enough ex to advance Weapon of Legacy and repay the LA buyoff and get to the 20th level. The build mimics the shift to the dark side, but one of my biggest concerns is the Lurking Terror Prc. Yes, after gaining full ghost abilities and Haunting Ghost (LM151) abilities +7 to all saves dc is a huge boost (thx to "virtual levels" from Legacy Champion) but when i take L.T. levels i gain very little benefits... they are almost dead levels.
Mechanically speaking i'm interested in a melee (2handed?) build (i have to assign feat yet) with some (Su) and (Sp) goodies from the template to increase variety, the weapon of legacy (obv. the ring) that's also the item familiar can help this too, but i'm not very experienced with WoL, so i ask you for an effective build for a uber magical ring.
if another base build comes in mind to you feel free to share it, i'm open to evrey change/advice ;)
Thx
