NWN Definition: "The blackguard epitomizes evil. Consorting with demons and devils and serving dark deities, the blackguard is hated and feared by all. The blackguard has many options available to them -- sending forth dark minions and servants to do their bidding, attacking with stealth and honorless guile, or straightforward smiting of the forces of good that stand in their way. Therefore, almost any class is suited to take the blackguard prestige class."
FRwiki Definition: "Blackguard, also referred to by some as the antipaladin, is a specialized prestige class on Faerūn that epitomizes pure evil. Nothing short of a mortal fiend, they are quintessential black knights, carrying a reputation of the foulest sort. Consorting with demons and devils while serving dark deities, blackguards are hated and feared by all. They usually lead legions of undead, evil outsiders or other monsters to conquer under their own guide. Occasionally guards might end up as wandering purveyors of chaotic destruction, attacking with honorless guile or flat out smiting the forces of good that stand in their way."
MY VIEW
I do not really know what else to say, these definitions are great.
The only thing would be to carefully consider the views of your diety before you use certain abilities a BG can use as not all dieties whose alignment options coincide with one that can unlock this class condone the use of all the abilities.
While this class "is" the opposite of the paladin class I also see it as so much more as the BG has none of the rigidity that a paladin has.
None of these class review threads have been locked yet and I'd take it as a kindness if it stayed that way, keep your personal grievences out of my threads.
Thank you
