I think you should cut your roasted barley and chocolate in half (at least). 2 lbs is a lot, trust me. 1 lb of that stuff will get you a black beer and even that much would overdue it for me. Not including pumpkin, you'll want only like 20% of your grain bill by weight in specialty malts. I can;t say for sure, but with those amounts of crystal, chocolate, and roasted barley, you are going to end up with an acrid, undrinkable beer.

For reference, check out this imperial stout Ive done to get an idea on the percentages. The pumpkin you can just tack on since it doesnt have much sugars. Be prepared for additional water loss from the pumpkin though. Also, I used canned pumpkin at the advice of some pro brewers. Much easier to work with.

To add to the water loss to the pumpkin, get at LEAST 1# of rice hulls in there not to get a stuck run-off!
