My friends and I are running an evil campaign, and I got to be the crazy anti-paladin. The only problem is that I don't know what to do after I have all of my levels of Blackguard. I've debated taking some barbarian levels, seeing as how I like to deal lots of damage, but I don't know if there is something better. I wanted to get some input on classes or even feats that would be good to take.

Ranger for favored enemy (humans/harpers/shadowthieves) and some needed survival skills for when you cant show your face in towns. Rogue for more sneak attack and skills. Bard for social trickery and misdirection and inspiring leadership. You know the deal. What weapon are you using?
One of the classes from the Tome of Battle, the crusader, is nice for adding some power to a blackguard. Try to get a few stances and maneuvers from the devoted spirit and white raven discipline.

I suggest you take another prestige class until you reach 20th level and follow either the epic blackguard progression or this another prestige class.

Good ones may be assassin (DMG), divine champion (PGtF), divine crusader (CD), ghost-faced killer (CAdv) or pious templar (CD). Other warrior-type prestige classes with evil or non-good alignment restrictions may also be good.

I currently use a Great Sword, but I am going to get Monkey Grip and use a Scythe I think.
