So right now Im preparing an adventure that is different to the usual, instead of having the DM control things it will be more of a player vs player thing with a DM to handle things and keep it all in the rules. It will be 8 veteran players (no extreme optimization only mid optimization) against me and I will be the BBEG which I will prepare the whole thing for. As guards Im thinking of having 3 Half Dragon Vampire Half orcs (possible due to the Human heritage feat making them a humanoid instead of dragons) with 10-15 levels. The 8 players are all 20-24 level and these guards are NOT supposed to kill them all only to weaken them maybe kill 1 or 2 of them. It is Elite array and I want them to be Martial characters, any suggestions? Also Tome of Battle is unfortunately banned so no Warblades. Any suggestions on what should I do with them?

I'm not great with high level builds (our games rarely go past about 10th or 11th), but if no ToB is in play, I'd suggest Lion Totem Barbarian, or a Paladin of X ubercharger build.

How "martial" is martial? If Dusbklade is acceptable, may a Duskblade/Ur-Priest build channeling nasty spells at the PCs?
