I'm playing a character that's obsessed with knowledge and would do pretty much anything to get it. He lies, cheats, steals and does a lot of morally questionable acts to get the knowledge he desires. However I'm playing him in a way in which his alignment is true neutral.
Stats that I have rolled:[spoiler]
Abilities Str 14, Dex 12, Con 16, Int 18, Wis 10, Cha 12

We're playing in a game called The Drow Wars. One in which we're whisked away at the start of the game and realize our destiny to become the ones who fight against the darkness. The game has already started and I've played a couple of sessions however I was able to convince the DM to allow me to change from Cloistered Cleric to Archivist as it fit the way I was playing the character much better.
The skeleton for the build is as follows. If anyone wants to try to convince me that losing a second caster level isn't worth it you can try but I've pretty much weighed the pros and cons and decided that I don't mind losing a second caster level. (I'd be equivalent to a Favored Soul or Sorcerer Malconvoker so what's the big deal in terms of what spell level I can cast. I'm fine with that. Further the group is not a min/maxing strong group; weakening my power will make everyone happier).
Skeleton[spoiler]
Archivist 1/Human Paragon 3/Archivist 2/Malconvoker 9/Paragnostic Apostle 1 or 2/Archivist ~3
I've heard the game goes to Epic in which case:
Cosmic Descryer:

The way I'm playing my character is pretty much I want to know as much as possible about everything. He'll become a Malconvoker then summon a ton of shit in battle. Yay.
My Question then is really what feats should I pick?
1: Improved Initiative,
Academic PriestHuman Bonus3:Knowledge Devotion
Human Paragon, Spell Focus (Conjuration)
6: Augment Summoning
9: Summon Elemental?
12: Practiced Spellcaster?
15: Toughness
18: Tougnness
*Academic Priest is pretty much set in stone. Other things are open to change.
