Hence,BG phails. It needs PrC to blossom,since the sneak attack damage and saves could help for a ton of other classes,like Tempest. Imagine all those attacks on a KDed opponent.

It would be fine as a base class,granted the blackguard gets his own set of spells besides the small selection he has. Otherwise,good triumphs over evil cause evil got nerfed to hell.
...
Really,Blackguard's like another class for free saves. A Pally/BG/CoT is hell to kill with spells. It's even more hellish if Monk or Rogue is allowed into the equation.
Paladin/Rogue? Intriguing....
Yes,a paladin/blackguard is an awesome combo. It's just not allowed in most servers like EB.
Make it allowed in EB. Then I can also make paladin/bards. Awesome saves AND the kickass songs and...
Then Wing will come in and blather about how Blackguard is so good,blah blah blah,if you take this feat and level in this class,blah blah blah...
Anyhoo,Blackguard doesn't have too much going for...
It's miraculous Aribeth doesn't kill herself turning undead. Really.
She's decent,really. Only paladin henchman,and the only paladin/blackguard evar. That's it,really. Can't find too much reason...
Because HOW many people will go through that much trouble to get THAT good a character?
With all the stuff he needs to set up,any dispel will **** him over.
We have a censor? Hm.
...
Wing,the amount of trouble you need to go through to get that exact configuration is why Sorc/BG sucks. You're better off with something else.
Level 4 blackguard? Why? What's the point then? Just get the extra sorc levels. Heaven KNOWS sorcs are always in dire need of spells.
Plus,you only seem to judge based off how much damage...
Only Dodge AC stacks. If you have any decent equipment,about 2 or 3 will be overruled.
And these are sorcs. Not wizzies,which are superior in many ways,but sorcs. >_>
Charisma/Dex=Barely any damage. All of it will come from sneak attacks,and if you're going for that,you should be a sorc/rogue.
Furthermore,if you want ANY sort of spellcasting,your AC is going to...
They're hard to make a build around though. Plus with the lack of spell-friendly armor in PvP servers a sorc/blackguard only asks for much pain.
I don't like checking back here to see Toss's post. It's irritating.
So,how bout them Blackguards?
Well,alignment reqs should be disabled in most servers. Failing that,bonus level for pally.
Oh God,a Holy Avenger scythe with Rain having 1 Paladin level instead of 1 Barbarian level.
...
Toss,you gave me divine inspiration. I could multiclass Paladin in NWN2 with Barbarian! So at 20...
Could've sworn there was a pally spell that used Charisma...
Anyhoo,Holy Avenger acts as a +5 weapon and dispels magic on contact if a pally wields it on anyone. Otherwise it's just a fancy name...
Dammit Wing,you're overlooking one or two spells in the paladin's spells that use his Charisma. I can't remember them,but go look at them.
EDIT: Oh God. I said moveset instead of spells. The...
But some of the paladin's spells use his Charisma. I win.
Stop. While it's true the half-orc is better damage-wise,a human would be better overall,or at least in saves. Why?
The human gains 4 more skill points at level 1,and 1 more thereafter,and that...
WTF! A NEW POSTER! AHHHHHHHHHH!
(explodes,sending bones everywhere)
Yeah,Pallys are frickin hard to make a good build for. Int's the only stat you can skimp on. Maybe Dex if you want to give up 1...
The thought of a half-orc paladin is almost as scary as Xanos's multiclassing. Bioware must've been drunk when deciding his two classes.
12 Con is above average and should suffice. Some strength boosting gear will negate the Str penalty. I say you balance it and get like 16 Cha,12 Str/Con/Dex or something.
You gotta love how versatile humans are though. They make good anythings. Human paladin? K. Human wizard? Alright. Human rogue? Sure.
Half orc wizard? Rofl. Halfling paladin? Good one. Dwarf bard?...
Dex seems like Agility in WC. It's the one stat to rule them all,apparently.
Except damage wise. Gonna be hilarious when that crazed dex monk slams into a wall of DR 5/5. Let's see what his puny...
Isn't it sad when the majority of players are dwarf/half orc fighters? Talk about no originality whatsoever.
Dwarves aren't counted as small size. They're medium size despite their stature. Adding...
