I grew up as a member of one of the numerous broods of minor noble children in the great city of Waterdeep. I craved wealth, power and prestige amongst my peers, and so I joined a cult that promised me all those things. I was one of many like minded dupes and peers looking for a quick and easy way influence our own futures to our best advantage with as little effort as possible, who joined the cult. Most of us, myself included, never took the cult really seriously, and considered it a bit of a lark chanting mumble jumbo and hob knobbing with other upwardly ambitious folk. Then late one night after receiving a summons from the cult priests, I joined a secret gathering, who had all been especially summoned to attend a rite, and everything changed. We were all led to a vile alter and made to swear even more vile oaths, before the dark priests began the dark rite. My memory of the following events is dark and clouded, however  I remember the alter and the area surrounding it beginning to glow with a dark cold fire, and then a dark blast screaming directly at me from the alter. Everything went black, until I came to days later, only to find myself surrounded by grizzly mutilated corpses and covered in flies, maggots and a sickening gore that was the only remains of my peers and some of the other participants of that dark rite, that had become a carnal slaughter house. I do not know what happened for sure, but the authorities claim I became processed by Asmodeus and proceeded to slaughter everything within arms reach, I don’t remember any of that, but I am very certain that I lost my soul that night. I lost everything that night, my family, my home and my dignity, as I was forced to flee in disgrace as a hunted and wanted fugitive for what I had taken part in. All the cults’ promises were false and empty. I have no power or wealth of my own, save that which I have gained through my own hard fought efforts and the dark grace of Shevarash the Black Archer. The only thing that the cult left me with was this mark of Asmodeus burned into my flesh.  My only desire now is for vengeance, to see the cult and its lies wiped out and perhaps to even destroy Asmodeus, at any cost. I have already lost everything including my soul, what more do I have to lose, and only vengeance to gain."Build Goals:When I saw the picture above, after having read the Followed a cult background and Devil’s Pawn Theme, and the Prince of Hell Epic Destiny, I got inspired and thought they would mesh well with a Blackguard. I want to make this a workable dual axe wielding build that uses the above Background, Theme and Epic Destiny and is as Optimized as possible.This build uses the following sources: AV - Adventurer's VaultAV 2 - Adventurer's Vault 2DP - Divine PowerDXXX - Dragon Magazine, issue XXXFRCG - Forgotten Realms Campaign GuideHoS - Heroes of ShadowHotFL - Heroes of the Fallen LandsHotFK - Heroes of the Forgotten KingdomsMP - Martial PowerMP2 - Martial Power 2NCS - Neverwinter Campaign SettingPHB - Player's HandbookPHB2 - Player's Handbook 2PHB3 - Player's Handbook 3References: Show[sblock]Tainted Faith: The Blackguard's Guide by LitigationThrill of the Hunt: The Ranger's Handbook by lordduskblade[/sblock]The game group I play with has House ruled that all Characters start with a 24 point spread for ability scores to start with, so this build is based off of that point spread.Level 1 (Snapshot)Show[sblock]The Butcher Mikal, level 1Human(PHB), Paladin (Blackguard)(HoS)Vice: Vice of Domination(HoS)Human Power Selection Option: Bonus At-Will Power(PHB)Followed a Cult (+2 to Streetwise)(DP)Theme: Devil's Pawn(NCS)FINAL  ABILITY SCORESSTR 18, CON 13, DEX 13, INT 8, WIS 10, CHA 16STARTING ABILITY  SCORESSTR 16, CON 13, DEX 13, INT 8, WIS 10, CHA 16AC: 18 Fort: 16 Ref: 13 Will: 15HP: 28 Surges: 11 Surge Value: 7TRAINED  SKILLSAthletics +7, Bluff +8, History +4, Intimidate +8, Religion +4UNTRAINED  SKILLSAcrobatics +1, Arcana +1, Diplomacy +3, Dungeoneering +0, Endurance +1, Heal +0, Insight +0, Nature +0, Perception +0, Stealth +1, Streetwise +5, Thievery +1POWERSBasic Attack: Melee Basic AttackBasic Attack: Ranged Basic AttackDevil's Pawn Attack: Hellfire and Brimstone(HoS)Paladin Attack: Dread Smite(HoS)Paladin Utility: Shroud of Shadow(HoS)Paladin Attack 1: Ardent Strike(DP)Paladin Attack 1: Vengeance Strike(Hos)Paladin Attack 1: Dominator's Strike(Hos)FEATSLevel 1: Axe Expertise(HotFL & HotFK)Level 1: Weapon Focus (Axe)(PHB)ITEMSAdventurer's KitPlate ArmorBattleaxeDiscussion:The ability Score distribution is key for this build, a 24 point spread is used in the group I play with, so Strength gets cranked up as high as it can go (9 out of 24 points), for an 16 before racial modifiers, because just about everything you do depends on that ability score, including your attack rolls, damage rolls, and your Fortitude defense. Constitution and  Dexterity get 3 points each (for 6 of 24 points) to set them up for future feat requirements. Charisma being  the Secondary stat gets the remaining (9 of 24 points) and needs to start high and keep high at all times. It determines the damage from all your Striker features, as well as your encounter power Dread Smite.One priority is to increase the accuracy of your attacks, if you don’t hit you can’t cause any carnage, pain and mayhem so you pick up axe expertise, and a little boost to your damage when you do hit from weapon focus (axe).On the subject of powers, being Human gets you a nice toy to play with, in the form ofArdent strike: buying back the Paladin's native Defender role in one fell swoop if you take this. If you hit with it, you Divine Sanction the enemy, landing a mark complete with its own no-action punishment mechanic and even some feat support on its own. And even better, you can charge with it, so it's compatible with most of the DPR optimization tricks therein! For this build, this is about as perfect a marriage of the Striker and Defender roles imaginable.We also pick up the following attacks automatically with this build,Dominator’s Strike: It's exactly a STR-primary/CHA-secondary copy of Bolstering Strike. Which is decent enough when you want a some extra survivability in the form of THPs in a pinch.Dread Smite: The initial damage, a scaling amount plus your Charisma modifier, happens hit or miss, and then on top of that, if you hit with the triggering attack, it deals a scaling amount of ongoing damage, save ends. Oh, did I mention the damage is cold and necrotic? The cold part, in particular is very important, since because of the way resistances work, it masks the fact that necrotic is commonly resisted.Vengeance Strike: gives you a power bonus to damage that increases the more enemies surround you. The increasing damage buff effect is reminiscent of the increasing attack buff effect of the O-Paladin and Cavalier power Valiant Strike.

If it hits, the enemy is Sanctioned for the rest of the encounter. The only weakness is that the attack does nothing on a miss, but it's an off action, so you can't complain too much.

The paragon Path kicks off with a great immediate interrupt encounter attack power that triggers a duel weapon attack that if both attacks are successful weakens the enemy that triggered it.
