This is an old build, I was debating whether to post this one or the Church's Secret. I felt that this build was stronger, but the Church's Secret was more fun to play. Well, this build sat awaiting completion, but here it is.
Advantages
-42 Base AB, this could be better, but it's quite good for a paladin/blackguard. -Devastating Critical. Need I say more? -10D6 sneak attack. This character is going to wear armor, and he doesn't have the maximum hide and move silently skills, still most characters do not max out their listen or spot skills so he should be able to sneak around most opponents. -This character has pretty good saves and with a buffed CHA he should be able to make most saves. -Evasion. This character makes good use of his saves. -Smite Evil, Smite Good, Divine Might, Divine Shield. -For a character that wears armor a pretty good AC. -Hide in Plain Sight.
Disadvantages
-Only 396 HP, not bad for a sneaker but it could be better. -Not a lot of skill points. He wasn't able to max out his hide and move silently -He doesn't do alot of damage per hit. He makes for this with divine might and divine favor, but if he can't rest he wont do that well. -No real spell casting ability. He can't do much to get rid of an enemy's defenses unless he has a holy avenger or a rod of arcane disjunction. This was really what made me choose the Church's Secret over this character.

Just browsing the build list and stumbled upon your build. I am doing a bit similar build (14 Bard / 1 Shadowdancer / 25 Blackguard and STR based). If you are running around sneaking with a greatsword, perhaps it would be fun to annoy your unaware opponents even more by giving this build Improved Disarm. The greatsword is a large weapon, so in most occasions, you will not get a penalty (-4 and +4 versus a normal medium sized weapon).
Any chance to see your "church Secret" build?
Much appreciate it.
It's already listed in the Build's Index
Btw.. It's "The Church's Secret"

Griphook, note this build needs the classes and levels put in the subject
Thanks, Kaliban.

There are lots of builds with no class levels added in the actual build posts, At the time i only added class levels to the links in the builds index list.. and not the actual posts.
When the festive season is over i may go through the list and add them to the actual build posts.
For now however... Any old builds resurrected from the "Deepest Darkest Depths of Hell" I can/will add class levels to them.

Hey, don't attack the messenger! I'm just pointing out an omission.
It's not my fault they let any old hack post in this guild....

sorry, griphook, but what is up with the class levels in the title. isn't this build a paladin/bg? rogue/cot/sd makes no sense.
