I want to make a Socerer that uses the BG saves and I'd like to pick up martial proficiencies. Should I take a level of fighter to get the proficiencies or should I burn a feat? At which levels should I take the non-socerer classes to maximize feats?

thanks Blackguards get martial weapon, medium armour and heavy armour feats on their first blackguard level, so basicly the ftr level isnt necessary. I guess the better question would be, should I take my first level as a fighter to get the extra feat since BGuard requies Cleave (which requires Power Attack)? Another option is to take 1 monk level before your BG levels. This will give you the cleave feat for free without having to burn a feat for it, or having to worry about getting that pesky power attack.
