| #1ferinuscarnifexvoxMar 18, 2012 18:42:30 | Important House-Rules:
- There is a LA +1 Buyout --- I picked Half-Minotaur (the stats are amazing)
- Every subrace of Humans gains the "Able Learner" Feat
- My DM said I don't need to have Ex-Paladin for my first level after I transfered into Blackguard (so I get 10 and 10)
- I can trade in my Fiendish Servant for the "Charging Smite" alternative paladin feature
The role of my character is to help track down our targets, and do a large part of the damage. Although we have a fighter it is quite possible that I will be taking on some of the tanking (since the fighter is newer), not to mention we have a Psion to guard.

| #2KruskMar 20, 2012 16:08:13 | Whats the goal for your build? What books? ANd lastly, what level are you starting at?
Right away I'd drop the acolyte of the skin and swap cha and wisdom. Buy the +4 item of wis if you really want to make use of the spells. They aren't terrible but the cha to saves is awesome.
Instead of the acolyte consider a LE Variant paladin. Also a level of hexblade.
Blackguard 10/LE Paladin 2/ Hexblade 1/ Acolyte of Skin 7
With just the 18 charisma, the suggested changes will net you +8 on all saves, +12 if they are spell based. Levels 8, 9, and 10 aren't that good anyway.
LE Paladins are in Unearthed Arcana, same book as flaws.
If you want to be a melee monster, before those paladin levels take 1 of Lion totem barbarian to get pounce. BG 10/ Lion 1/ CE Palidin 2/ Hexblade 1/ AoS 6. It will give 4 melee attacks + a gore attack on every charge attack. You might have alignment restrictions on hexblade, I don't remember and don't play with them.
Why Brutal throw and power throw? Consider leap attack instead. Do you plan to throw stuff? Consider hulking hurler. Its pretty insane. |
