Hexblade Blackguard

[Seeten]

Hexblade 3/Fighter 4 would get me there, but then its 9 till Dark Blessing. And...what 11 till rebuking. I think Cleric(Trickery, X) 1, Fighter 1, Hexblade 5 might be where I take it. I'll get the great Divine Feats nice and early that way. Hmm. Requires thought.

Think about getting "raptor school" as a feat for quicker feinting, so you don't have to rely on flanking

It's still a standard action with Raptor School. Improved Feign reduces it to a move action.

I like the Rogue 2, Hexblade 5 concept personaly. But I'm a sucker for skill points, and it also looks like you don't have a rogue in the group unless the Feral Tiefling is going to be.

Feral Tiefling is Rogue 1/Fighter 3

Rogue gets sneak attack and evasion, both of which are lovely. I'll get divine feats out of blackguard eventually no matter what.

Cleric gets divine early, and I'd have to go Assassin or something with Evasion later on, and I'd lose skill points. We'll have my Cleric Cohort regardless, so my biggest concern for Cleric is the feat twinkery. I dunno.

Cleric 1, Fighter 1, Hexblade 5 works, gets me the divine feats, and a 2 bonus feats, plus a bonus feat from human. Thats a lot of feats =)

 

[Seeten]

"Charm person" can do a lot, since you're presenting some nice DCs, even for low lvl. spells
, especially if they are close by (aura of despair).
And don't get stuck with a petty familiar. it doesn't mix so well with being a front-liner. get the "practiced spellcaster" and "improved familiar" feats later on (as well as the "augment familiar" spell) if you like serious familiars.

My familiar will be an imp, the Outsider summon portion of Blackguard.

I would also suggest taking only 3 levels of Hexblade, then 2 levels of rogue (sneak attack, evasion, plus boatload o' skills) and 2 levels of fighter (for bonus feats).

I suppose my Tiefling friend is an outsider, isnt he? If so, I dont need a familiar...

Was he summoned?

No need to be summoned; Tieflings have the Native subtype.

 

[Seeten]

I guess you are right, see, I need to summon my familiar, an imp, from the depths of hell to serve me, and thus, be a level 5 Hexblade. Plus, I dont wanna overdo the optimizing with 99 dipped classes.

So I think 5 hexblade for the start.
