Hello all, I have a question concerning the Blackguard prestige class.

I will be playing in a epic (lvl 23) gestalt campaign.Here's the progression

Human paragon/ fighter for level 1 to 3
Fighter/paladin for level 4 to 14
Fighter/Blackguard for level 15 to 23

Now, I'll be trading 10 levels of paladin for Blackguard. I don't really understand the whole trading/gaining levels of paladin for blackguard.

Could someone help me please?

Thanks

you'll keep the hp, saves(not divine grace), armor and weapon proficiencies, and skills and feats chosen at those levels, and you lose:

smite evil
detect evil
aura of good
divine grace
lay on hands
aura of courage
divine health
turn undead
special mount
remove disease
all pally spells

and instead you gain:

3 additional smite good
lay on hands(on you or your fiendish servant only)
+1d6 SA
1/day summon monster I(any evil critter)
the undead companion(described in the blackguard entry)

plus anything that you gain during your blackguard levels

Hope it helps.
