Looking for some help with an NPC:

I need earliest possible entry for Cancer Mage, then into Ur-Priest.

Ideally, will look something like X 3/Cancer Mage 8/Ur-Priest 9. (Not necessarily in that order: trying to get 9th level spells as early as is feasible).

Also, looking for a way to get one of the following domains onto Ur-Priest: Corruption and/or Pestilence.

Sources: any non-FR, no-Eberron, and no Dragon mag, homebrew, or 3rd party.

Cheers - T

This will be difficult, but it's doable

human savage bard 1/monk2/cancer mage 3/ur-priest x/theurge x

feats:
1: great fortitude
1: poison immunity
3: toughness
otyugh hole: iron will
6: sf (evil)
9-onward: whatever

neither deity has both those domains, and even though you're the dm, a contemplative dip is probably not in the cards fluff-wise. arcane disciple could get you either or both domains, just say you're stealing the spells from that god.

done.

I don't see any way of getting both domains without a setting-specific prestige class, so pick one.

Human, Savage Bard 2/ Duskblade 1/ Cancer Mage 2/ Ur-Priest 5/ Contemplative 1/ whatever.

Great Fortitude, Toughness, Poison Immunity at 1, 1, and 3
Iron Will from the Otyugh Hole
Spell Focus: Evil from moderate corruption (HoH), and use the Ritual of Alignment in Savage Species to gain the evil subtype to be immune to the drawbacks of taint.

Good suggestions, thanks.

I'm happy to settle for one of the domains, no problem.

Can I get an ECL/CR10 snapshot of those builds?

Maybe just a suggested ability array (15,14,13,12,10,8), a skill/feat allocation?
