|
| |
|
| '''Description''': The Blackguard epitomizes evil. Consorting with demons and devils and serving dark deities, the Blackguard is hated and feared by all. The Blackguard has many options available to them -- sending forth dark minions and servants to do their bidding, attacking with stealth and honorless guile, or straightforward smiting of the forces of good that stand in their way. Therefore, almost any class is suited to take the Blackguard prestige class.

| === Use Poison ===
| |
| A Blackguard can safely [[Poison]] his/her melee weapon without the need to make a [[Dexterity]] [[check]].
| |
|
| |
| === Smite Good ===
| |
| Once [[per day|a day]], a Blackguard of 2nd level or higher may attempt to smite a good-aligned enemy with one normal melee attack. The Blackguard adds their [[Charisma]] bonus to the [[attack roll]] and adds 1 extra point of damage per class level.
| |
|
| |
| === Dark Blessing ===
| |
| At 2nd level, the Blackguard applies their [[Charisma]] [[Ability modifier|modifier]] to all [[saving throw]]s.
| |
|
| |
| === Aura of Despair ===
| |
| Beginning at 3rd level, the Blackguard radiates a malign aura that causes enemies within 10 feet of them to take a –2 penalty on all [[saving throw|saving throws]].
| |
|
| |
| === Turn Undead ===
| |
| When a Blackguard reaches 3rd level, he gains the supernatural ability to [[Turn Undead]]. He may use this ability a number of times [[Per day|per day]] equal to 3 + his [[Charisma]] [[Ability modifier|modifier]]. He turns undead as a [[Cleric]] of two levels lower would.
| |
|
| |
| === Summon Fiend ===
| |
| At 5th level, the Blackguard can summon a hellfire hound (upgraded again at level 10).
| |
|
| |
| === [[Sneak Attack]] ===
| |
| At 4th level, the Blackguard gains the [[Sneak Attack|sneak attack]] ability. This ability functions exactly like the [[Rogue]] ability of the same name. The bonus damage is +1d6 at 4th level, +2d6 at 7th level, and +3d6 at 10th level.
| |
|
| |
| === Spells ===
| |
| At 2nd level, the Blackguard gains a spellbook. Spells require a base [[Wisdom]] score of 10 + [[spell level]] to be cast and can be picked in that [[Blackguard Spells|list]].
| |
|
| |
| ***NOTE ON BLACKGUARD CASTER LEVELS: Caster level calculation for Blackguard is: Blackguard levels + (non-Blackguard levels/2) = Caster Level. So a level 30 character with 8 or 9 Blackguard levels will have CL19 while a level 30 PC with 10 Blackguard levels will have CL20. Dragonslayer counts up to 6 of its levels as Blackguard levels, as per its optional Blackguard spell progression. For example a 10 rogue 10 Blackguard 10 Dragonslayer would have CL23.
