Message: <blockquote data-quote="hanniball" data-source="post: 3433601" data-attributes="member: 48357">First of all, Bard 5/Ass 1 does not meet the +6 BAB requirement of Blackguard.Second, the feat requirements for Blackguard are rather counterproductive to just about any Assassin build.  Your BAB takes a hit from Bard and Assassin, lowering the effectiveness of Power Attack and your likely going to have a lower strength score than the average BG, reducing the usefulness of Improved Sunder.  I'd strongly recommend more Assassin levels over Blackguard levels in this type of build.Being that this character has already seen play, I'm guessing the likelyhood of dropping Bard levels altogether is out of the question.  I just can't see a Bard being an Assassin what with the singing and all.  Not only that, but Rogue produces a much higher damage output when sneak attack is triggered.I'd recommend the following for a 9th level Bard/Assassin:Bard 3/Rog 3/Assassin 3Feats: TWF (1), Improved Initiative (Human), Weapon Finesse (3), Telling Blow (6), Ability Focus: Death Attack (9).Stats: Str 12 Dex 19 Con 14 Int 18 Wis 10 Cha 16If you're willing to swap the Bard levels for Rogue your offensive capabilities will be much more viable.  Also, you can generate a very impressive Death Attack DC by mixing Assassin with the Telflammar Shadowlord Prc (UE), but it requires a few feats so a Fighter dip would be in order.Rog 3/Ftr 2/Assassin 9/Telflammar Shadowlord 6 with Ability Focus: Death Attack and an Assassin's Dagger has a Death Attack DC of 28+Int.  Not too shabby.Either way...just my 2 cp</blockquote>
