Blackguard

Post by a shrouded figure » Sat Aug 22, 2020 7:37 am

Generally speaking- how much do we value the summon on Blackguards? I am debating between KD/IKD and SFC/GSFC. I’m feeling like the small bonus to my fiend isn’t worth the loss of utility but I could use some input. Thanks!

My take is that the summon is powerful enough without conj focus

The summon is really good and if you arent going for the summon then you dont need more than 3 blackguard in any case I can think of. if you start BG at lvl 7, then you also get the summons in earlier levels than warlocks and you get pretty easy-mode to epic levels from there.

I’m currently playing a BG and the Spell Focus feats are not part of my build. The benefits of it don’t really seem worth two wasted feat slots. Als, is you are playing for the summon, you should go for Epic Fiendish Servant.

There is a bg helmet and summoner ring that gets you sf conj. 2 feats is a heavy price for the small increase over what wearing the item every time you summon offers.
