I'm thinking makeing a Paladin them at about 10th level trading in the Paladin levels for Blackguard. But what would promt this change? I seem to be at a loss for ideas, although I did wonder if mearly being confronted by an avitar of say Bane and being asked to deffect would do it, or possably being confronted by Bane himself. What do you guys think? Any other ideas on what would cause the sudden loss of faith would be hepful. Also I am unsure of wich god he should defect to, it would have to be an evil diety for sure, but really its a toss up between Garagos, Malar, Bane, and Lovitar...any suggestions?

One, he leads a campaign that goes horribly, horribly wrong, so he questions his faith in Tyr Two, the good ol' succubus comes and tempts him from the path A role-model he hade while training turns out to be an evil cleric who manipulated the paladin so on, so forth. I don't think an Avatar of Bane talking to him directly would work, I think most paladins would spit in their eye and die rather than be swayed that easily.

All these would require he doesn't know the truth about the person advising him, but their advice is sufficiently good that he doesn't necessarily question it either. Eventually he realizes what he has become and you have a blackguard.
