DMG fix

[dantiesilva]

Has anyone made an actual good blackguard fix That keeps the smiting and sneak attack going? Or at least gives something worth while?

I would say Hexblade's curse is better in all aspects than the Aura of despair of a Blackguard except it has a time limit and number of uses while the later is all day, and with the right feats can give all allies within 100ft the same ability as well as giving -4.

Crack open Unearthed Arcana and look at Paladin of Tyranny and Paladin of Slaughter. They're workable if you replace Cause Disease with Sneak Attack.

Would replacing aura of despair with hexblades curse and making it the 10ft. aura all day, and having it scale be to broken?

If they still get a save (aura of despair does not allow one) it would be alright I guess.
