Meta:Blackguard

Use in canon works

The blackguard prestige class appeared in:

• Guide to Darkmoon Vale 55, 60; Irik VonSet is described as a blackguard, and his microstatblock lists five levels of the blackguard class.
• Spires of Xin-Shalast 25 lists Brinius Vale, Commandant of the Shahlaria in Xin-Shalast, as has having seven levels of the blackguard class.
• Pathfinder Chronicles: Gods and Magic 7 lists blackguard as a class receiving the infernal healing spells from Asmodeus.
• Gods and Magic 40 lists blackguard as one of the classes among worshipers of Urgathoa.
• Gods and Magic 41; Dason is described as "her first knight-blackguard", and characters of the blackguard class receive spells from her at specific levels.

The blackguard prestige class's source is the 3.5 System Reference Document, and in one of that game's non-Pathfinder settings, blackguard was a synonym for antipaladin. Several Pathfinder sources use the term as such generically, including Crown of Fangs (as a synonym of antipaladin in the destruction requirements for the Bound Blade), Dragons Revisited (as a synonym of antipaladin), and From Hell's Heart (purely generically).

References to blackguards in canon works might not have an updated equivalent, or might be generic in nature. -Oznogon (talk) 21:48, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
