I absolutely loved the Illrigger in 2nd edition. However, I really wished they would have converted him over to 3.5. So, instead I created him. Now he doesn't get all of those insaine followers, unless of course he took some epic leadership feat. I did somewhat tweek him, let's see if you guys like this:

Axomatic Body – At achieving 20th level the Illrigger must visit the Plane of Law and has the ability
absorb the essense of it and acquiring the axomatic template.

Final Judgement – This is by far the only chaotic ability the Illrigger can attempt. The Illrigger can
try to summon a higher level hit dice devil to aid him, however there is a 10% chance of the
difference in the Challenge Rating (CR) that the devil will instantly turn upon him. If the CR is the same as the Illrigger
then there is still a 10% of failure.
If an illrigger summons the same devil it has the previously it has a 20% chance per CR difference
to turn on him. If an Illrigger summons an Arch Devil, he will need to sacrifice 10,000 gp worth of
magic items per CR of the Arch Devil.

Chaos Resistance – By aligning himself with the plane of LAW the Illrigger gains the ability to add his bonus
bonus upon any SAVE cast by a spell, a caster or magical item that has chaos in it's alignment or type.



I played tested this character and surprisely he actually didn't do as well as I thought he would. Even after successfully sommon a PIT FIEND, our party barely made it out alive from taking on a Wyrm Green Dragon.
