Warlock 20 / Annointed Knight 10, need help choosing feats.

As said in the title, I need help figuring out feats. Please keep in mind that this isn't a min-max character, with him it's more about the RP of a Warlock trying to become less corrupted by chaos, by doing his best to follow a similar path as his Paladin friend. That being said, I also want to be at least a little useful. Here is the link:

Thanks for any suggestions and help!

you need to make the build public for the others to look at it

It is important to have a clear concept for your build - what do you want this build to do. What is your concept of this build? And what is your playstyle for this build?
These question will help you to select feats, and help others to give you suggestions.

"Chaotic Good" ... "Trying to become less corrupted by chaos."
You might want to ditch the epic spell that destroys souls then.
Also, Expert Tactician on BG is the vanilla version, which is crap. So I don't recommend picking it.

I find it hard to recommend Wk20/AK10, presuming that the CL fix applies to them as it does other casters.

As a warlock, you dont have to worry about your CL. Given that you can just rebuff yourself in infinitum. As level 19, you will have however miss out on 3/3/3/3 warlock invocations, stuck at 3/3/3/2. If you can press one more level of warlock in there, you are solid when it comes to buffs.
Now, again, speaking of spells, you need at least 14 Charisma to be able to use your Dark evocations. Else you won't have enough to use the spells at all.
Given your going with what appears to be a melee build, make sure to choose the invocations best suited for such.
As for the rest of it, it seems... okay? I guess? ... I can understand why'd you took vamp-feast, as HP will be one of your main focus points late game. given that you wont get a lot of AC with this setup unless you grap full progression in Tumble, and a Mith-fullplate. Now, you have displacement via Retributive Invisibility, so they will only hit you 50% of the time, but still given you want to use a scythe... you dont have access to shield AC.
Another aspect, which I dont know if it has been fixed... is your Damage reduction. From Anointed Knight you get 4/- epic dr. However... It wont stack with your Dark Premonition DR (15/alc silver). And I think it may actually make your Dark Premonition brake, and not register at all despite you casting it over and over. (Epic DR superseeds any other, making the system ignore any other DR at all). OR! atleast I've been told something like that. So maybe Anointed Knight aint the best idea, or atleast stop before you get Unbroken Flesh. Maybe try Dragon Warrior.
That's what I could come up with as of now! Hope it helps!

Vampiric Feast is an evil spell and if you use it as a good character, you should probably be moving away from a good alignment. Also, other characters might react if they see your character casting it.
Seeing as you are new, I thought it would be better to clarify.

Fair enough if you don't want to optimise, but this build is a train wreck and I mean that in the nicest way possible. For your sanity, change it now before you invest too much time. This build needs to be a Warlock 16/Dragon Slayer 10/Fighter 4. Don't ever stop fighter at an odd level, especially 3, 7 or 11! Vampiric Feast on a Good pc is a bit of an RP no-no I would say and you leave a very important feat in Eldritch Master til very late in you level up plan. Speaking of feats, you've picked 1 feat that doesn't work (expert tactician) and two that are terrible (resiliency and overwhelming crit). Anointed Knight doesn't synergise well with Warlock as it drops your caster level - I know you can rebuff infinitely but if you get dispelled in the middle of battle with no shield (scythe user), you may as well put your head between your knees and prepare to kiss your arse goodbye ... and with 20 caster levels the dispels will hit often and hard. Your current AB is very borderline. You also have no other ways to help land hits (like expose, hips, feint, knockdown, shield slam, etc). A build like this needs some tricks up its sleeve.
Personally I'd say take this one back to the drawing board, give it a purpose. What is it? Is it a damage dealer? A caster? A sneak? Decide what you'd like it to be good at and then build around that.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned we don't have Dark Transient here.
Maybe something like this?

AB still kinda sucks in mine though. I'm sure there's tons of room for improvement.

Dark Transient is the feat that doubles the duration of the Warlock haste thing (Flee the Scene)? If that's the one I'm thinking of, we have it.
