Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ravinsild" data-source="post: 7210877" data-attributes="member: 6866845">This is a homebrew designed to give a base class that makes more sense  for the Oathbreaker, Oath of Conquest and a new "Vice" called Fury.So far I've got a decent chassis I believe for the Blackguard, having  converted it from the Heroes of Shadow from 4th edition to 5th edition. I  used the Paladin as a base class and swapped out features for 4e  Blackguard features I felt were more relevant, then reflavored the Oath  of Conquest to the Vice of Domination. Any help would be greatly  appreciated as far as comments on balance and class features. I want to  make sure the Vice features and Class features look balanced compared to  the Paladin who is its equal.One of the reasons behind this entire endeavor is that I feel the Oath  of Conquest and Oathbreaker (now Vice of Hate) needed a stronger base  class that made sense. Why would an Oathbreaker or Conquest Paladin have  "Divine Sense" or "Lay on Hands" or be able to cleanse diseases? I felt  like those Oaths deserved a better and more thematic base class and  chose the 4e Blackguard for my starting point. It's an alternative to  the Paladin if you feel there's a strangeness to only replacing Oath  features but not class features.Sources: Wizards of the Coast 5e Paladin Class from PHBOath of Conquest (Renamed Vice of Domination) from <a href="http://media.wizards.com/2017/dnd/downloads/June5UA_RevisedClassOptv1.pdf" target="_blank">http://media.wizards.com/2017/dnd/do...ClassOptv1.pdf</a>Oathbreaker (Renamed Vice of Hate) from WotC's DMGOath of Vengeance (Modified to Vice of Fury) from WotC's PHBThe Blackguard class from 4e's Heroes of Shadow BookWhat this class is:* 5e Paladin Chassis with "paladin" renamed to "blackguard" * 5e Paladin Class "Oath" replaced with 4e Blackguard "Vice" * 4e Blackguard features replacing undesireable Paladin Features (Shroud of Shadows instead of Divine Sense, etc.) * 5e Oath of Conquest (Vice of Domination) on the Blackguard class chassis * 5e Oathbreaker (Vice of Hate) on the Blackguard class chassis * 5e Oath of Vengeance (Vice of Fury) repurposed with Blackguard's Vice of Fury features converted from 4eWithout further ado my 4e to 5e Blackguard conversion.<a href="http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/S1rgJ--Fb" target="_blank">http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/S1rgJ--Fb</a></blockquote>
