Since im enjoying this forum and its excellent Builds for nearly a year, i thougt it would be time to post some of my own builds who havent been postet yet.

Here he comes: The Black Dragon - an evil Spellsword


This Character does really well in OC +AddOns and playable 1-40 PvM. Its very versatile since you can fight and cast, and a whole lot of fun to play. Im not so sure about PvP, but i think he should do really good, especially in low to mid magic worlds.

and good Range: 15-20 (spell: keen)-> 30%=once per round
- Devine Might and Shield (6-12)
- good Damage with buffs and strengts bonuses
- Decent AC (Thx to fullplate, buffs, and Divine Might)
- Epic Warding

Disadvantages
- low Hitpoints (348)
- very few skillpoints, lacks in disciplin

btw you could also go Paladin instead of BG if you want to be a good Dragon. But you loose 1 sneak attack and the stacking bullstrengths from BG.
Furthermore i thing an evil Sorcerer with Dragonblood in his veins is more roleplay like.


Suggestions and comments are welcome

If you're not entirely opposed to giving up Devastating Critical, you can take Epic Skill Focus (Discipline), since Devastating Crit is disabled on some servers.

Edit: Cool build, btw! Blackguard is a neglected class, IMO.

Giving up Dev.Crit frees up 2 epic feats which you could use for epic spells (Mage Armor and Greater Ruin/Dragon Knight) and one pre epic (great cleave) which you could substitute for lightning reflexes, for example, since your ref saves is low.
Pally version wouldn't be bad either but RP wise the evil one wins

Vinceṛ Interesting build, guess you use Mord's D on enemies with SR in order to land spells on them (instead of using epic penetration)?

Probably a very workable PvE build, but seems like it'd do its best in either low-magic environments (making its spellcasting more powerful relatively speaking), or high-magic environments (to boost its melee power with items).

Strong RP potential as well; in fact this is looking like one of the few arcane spellswords I'd actually consider trying to play (I don't like spellswords).

Since non-dev. crit. seems very popular these days i will make a non-dev. crit. version and use the free feat. to improve his disadvantages. Any Ideas are welcome.

Adventure - is the result of poor planning btw if you are doing a non-dev crit version then I wouldn't bother with Over Crit, Great Cleave at all.

Maybe even drop Power Attack and Cleave - depends on the focus I guess

I agree 100%

Blackguard requires Cleave as a pre-requisite And with no Monk (free Cleave) he'll need to take Power Attack to get to Cleave.

Kaliban.

PS - Great build by the way! If it weren't for the floopy wings, I might try it.
