Evil helps the wound

[Bartmanhomer]

Imagine what if a Level 20 Male Human Blackguard walk to the forest and discovers a blind female human Level 1 Cleric/Level 1 Druid who was brutally beaten by a mob of orcs leaving partially with no clothes! The blackguard helps the blind victim to take her home where he takes care of her until the blind cleric/druid feel better! What do you think of this?

I think I need more information. Is this something that happened, something you want to happen, or what? I suppose there isn't anything that says that Blackguards can't be compassionate, so there's nothing in the rules that says this can't happen.

BLlackguard, especiallly LE one, might have some kind of honor, like being chivalrous towards women. Even evil person may have redeeming qualities. Or he might have some hidden goal.

I think there's a lot better places for this kind of thing on the Internet.

Level 20 Male Human Blackguards need love too!

Of course it's possible. The Blackguard might hate orcs with a passionate fury. He may have been smitten by the girl's looks. He may know that the girl is evil and would make a good cohort. He may want to convert her if she isn't evil, by playing on her thirst for revenge against the orcs ("give in to the dark siiiide!"). He may heal her so he may ask for a ransom to her parents. There are many scenarios wherein the situation you present is totally plausible.

Blackguards aren't just evil, they're villainous. They cast down the temples of good gods, they conquer nations and enslave races, they destroy hope and beauty and kindness, and they suck others dry for their own power.

They don't kick puppies or shoot fish in barrels, and no self-respecting Blackguard touches orcish leftovers.

Blackguards can spread their own foul breed of "redemption" just like Paladins do-- and this girl probably has one hell of a rage burning in her, just waiting for a chance to be let out. Sure, he could probably finish her off, or take whatever he wants from whatever she has left, but that'd be like a twentieth level Paladin helping a kitten out of a tree when he could be casting remove disease on an infirmary full of children.

Or, he could teach the poor Druid to become stronger-- to seize what she wants and to hell with anyone who wants to take what's hers. He can nurture her hatred and her pain, and show her that the only thing that allowed those orcs to hurt her was her own weakness, her own uncertainty, her own morality.

The only question is whether he should punish those orcs himself-- severely and with great malice-- as a present to her, or if he should wait until she's healed and watch as she turns nature's power into a weapon against the entire tribe, eradicating her tormenters, their friends, their families, their women and children...

Wow, that's really...eeeeevil.

Kudos!

Yes, Korimyr has a point. A Blackguard wouldn't just victimize her, this is a prime chance to convert a powerful (or possibly powerful at least) person to evil.

 

[Xombie Master]

Blackguards are to Evil as Paladins are to good. As long as intentions remain somewhat "black" it shouldn't be a problem.

Not to mention, any character, even 20th level, could use an ally with the ability to cast 'cure' spells.
