Cha bonus to hp plus immunity to criticals and various other resistances is nothing to sneeze at. That said, the fighter/blackguard may not be your best bet. My own recommendation would be Clr15/Blk2 with the Trickery domain (which has lots of nice spells and gets you Hide for cheap) or, possibly better still, Clr6 (Destruction and Tyranny domains)/Dreadmaster 7/Blk2. The latter gets you two cohorts (choose a Fiend of Possession as one, and you'll be able to enhance your items for free!) and lots of Charisma-related abilities. Use Divine Metamagic to give yourself Persistent divine power and righteous might, and attack your enemies with a ferocious combo of Divine Might and your smite ability (from the Destruction domain). The cleric's lower HD are irrelevant, since you're undead, and your BAB is taken care of by divine power. Simple but deadly. You will easily out-tank the fighters due to buffs, and you really only need a high Charisma, with Wisdom just sufficient to cast your 8th-level spells. Best of all, you'll be able to heal yourself easily and do all sorts of nasty things. Another option is to go the sorcerer/eldritch knight route. Not easy, but doable.  Such a build would be Ftr1/Sor6/EK2/Blk2/EK6(8). This gets you 6th-level arcane spells (7th once you gain one more level), decent bonus feats, and Charisma to spellcasting, saves, and hp. Not bad!</blockquote>
