Desc=A blackguard epitomizes evil. They are nothing short of a mortal fiend, a black knight with the foulest sort of reputation. Many refer to blackguards as Anti-[[Paladin]]s due to their completely evil nature. No one class makes the best blackguard, all that is required is a willingness to serve the forces of darkness.|

*Blackguard Summons Altered, see the [[Summons Guide]].
*Blackguard's [[Sneak Attack]] increases by +1d6 every three levels after 10th.

*Shared Dark Blessing: Summon receives a bonus to all saves equal to the Blackguard's Charisma modifier.
*Corrupt Weapon: Blackguards have access to a special spell, Corrupt Weapon, which is the opposing counterpart of the Paladin spell Holy Sword.

*Contagion: Now applies a curse to target if they fail a will save. DC is Blackguard level + Blackguard's Charisma modifier. Curse is a penalty to all six abilities scores equal to half the Blackguard's Charisma modifier.
