(Fighter 7 / Cleric 23 / Blackguard 10) by Dwarf22

I was suprised to find only 1 other build that uses this class split and it is a Cleric heavy build. Use your cleric spells and blackguards bull strength to buff yourself or to buff your summons, which you get a couple good ones along the way : The Doom Knight and Epic Vrock. While your summons have the opponent distracted you can pound them in with a 7d6 sneak attack.

Any and all comments/suggestions are welcome. I would try to get one more Cleric level to max out some of your buffs (GMW, Divine Favor, etc.).

Ariel, Ookla, RIDE! Perhaps dropping 2 fighter levels for 2 cleric, to pick up 8th level spells as well? Since your pre-epic fighter level does not net you weapon specialization the way you're doing it.

Granted, you'd lose one BAB this way, but Divine Power covers that, already. Thanks for the replies. I had several different level splits when I was for thinking of doing this build. Actually, Cleric 16/Fighter 2/Blackguard 22 was one of them. Now that I think of it, that probably isnt a bad idea. Should still be able to do plenty of damage without the weapon specialization feats. Or maybe Cleric 15/Fighter 6/Blackguard 19? hmm.

By going 16/2/22, you could still take weapon specialization and epic weapon specialization afaik. If you're not going to take those feats, you'd might as well go rogue or monk or bard, for the tumble AC.

WS/EWS require Fighter 4, unless you're using the club exploit.

Ahh okay, that's good to know. I suppose dropping 3 BG levels might do the trick, adding in a Cleric and 2 Fighter. Freeing up an epic feat. Cleric 16 / Fighter 4 / Blackguard 20

I built a Cleric 16/Fighter 2/Blackguard 22 and a Cleric 15/Fighter 6/Blackguard 19 version as well. Didnt like the Fighter 2 and the Fighter 6 was ok but I found out that the Epic Vrock lost his 4th attack. I ended up with this build as level 20 Blackguard gave the Vrock his 4th attack back. From the original build it loses the following: 1 AB, 1 damage, 1d6 sneak attack, 4 hps. Gains better spell casting ability and Epic Skill Focus: Taunt.
