Combat wise the Code knight is approximately on par with a fighter, with a large choice of feats and knight abilities to choose from; then it has 4 skill points per level and more class skills. On the other hand, the Excalibur knight is less powerful than a fighter in combat, has less design flexibility, and only 2 skill points per level. Note that at 10th level and beyond, the Excalibur knight has abilities of his own that cannot be duplicated by the Code knight.Code Paladin vs PHB Paladin: The PHB paladin is described as a champion of law and good hunting evil, but I always found its Lay-on-hands and Remove disease abilities somewhat inappropriate unless you make him a Knight Hospitaller. The Code paladin is customizable, but don't has Lay-on-hands as an option. As such, you cannot make a PHB paladin in using the Code variant paladin options. In any case, like I said in my review, I would rather have called the Code paladin by another name, such as a Champion or Holy Knight.Scourge vs Blackguard: The Scourge is a core class, while the Blackguard is a prestige class. You cannot really approximate a blackguard in choosing the right scourge options (for example, scourges don't have access to Sneak Attacks, Poison Use, and Fiendish Servant). On the other hand, the Blackguard prestige class could complement the Scourge class fairly well. Maybe, among a group of scourges, the one with the blaguard prcl would be the leader? Note that a blackguard's requirement is to have "made peaceful contact with a summoned evil outsider", while scourges are just said to worship such beings.</blockquote>
