Greetings all!

I currently am smack dab in the middle of a high powered war campaign. My build so far is lvl 5 paladin of tyranny / lvl 2 blackguard with a large emphasis on Lance/mounted combat. I currently have leadership, a lvl 5 marshal minion, and various others. I essentially already have my own small heavy cav unit.

I'm not sure if Blackguard is what is right..perhaps I should switch to Cavalier since I will have a BAB of 8 next lvl up?

I would love to hear some interesting idea's for this character. We have access to almost every book out there.

Thank you much! :)

Perhaps a bit more info.

He currently has spirited charge and all required feats up to this point. High ride and animal handling ranks as well. I pretty much am just 1 attack a rounding him with his +2 lance. I'm using rhino charge when needed (doubles the damage of a charge).

I'm the heavy damage of the group. I'm currently wielding a +2 heavy lance of evil (bane:good pretty much). When I hit on a spirited charge the damage formula is:

(if crit against a good align..evil war campaign)
(((2d8+2d6+16)x3)x3)x2. 2d8 for the lance, 2d6 if the target is good aligned, +16 (for str mod+marshal aura+etc), x3 crit with lance, x3 from spirited charge, x2 with rhino charge cast. In a maximum hit a lvl 7 character hits for 792. Of course I've never done max damage...but someday I might. haha

My question is. Other than the deadly charge to replace the spirited charge from Cavalier..what other choices could up my damage? I'm putting all my eggs in 1 basket each round, so I'm looking for maximum output.
