+====== Variant: Blackguard ======
+Whereas paladins are divine champions in the name of good, blackguards are their evil counterparts. The quintessential black knight, blackguards spread terror and death in the name of their dark deities. The blackguard has all the standard paladin class features, except as noted below.
+<php>echo "<b><font color=\"#FFC671\">Alignment:</font></b>";</php> Any evil\\
+<php>echo "<b><font color=\"#FFC671\">Class Skills:</font></b>";</php>  Athletics (Str), Deception (Cha), History (Int), Intimidate (Cha), Religion (Int), Stealth (Dex), Trade (Int), Warfare (Int)\\
+===== Class Abilities =====
+<php>echo "<b><font color=\"#FFC671\">Unholy Smite (Su):</font></b>";</php> At 1st level, a blackguard can call upon the power of his deity to smite his enemies.  As a standard action, a blackguard can expend one use from his channel energy pool to make a melee smite attack against a creature, ignoring any DR the target might possess (except DR/-).  If the target is good, the blackguard adds his Charisma modifier to his attack roll, and deals an extra 1d6 damage, plus 1d6 at 3rd level and every odd level thereafter.\\
+<php>echo "<i><font color=\"#E6DFC1\">Replaces:</font></i>";</php> Holy Smite
+<php>echo "<b><font color=\"#FFC671\">Detect Good (Sp):</font></b>";</php> At 1st level, a blackguard can use //detect good// at will, as per the spell.\\
+<php>echo "<i><font color=\"#E6DFC1\">Replaces:</font></i>";</php> Detect Evil
+<php>echo "<b><font color=\"#FFC671\">Death Touch (Su):</font></b>";</php> Beginning at 2nd level, a blackguard can channel his divine energy to cause wounds with a touch.  As a standard action, a blackguard can expend any number of uses from his channel energy pool to make a melee touch attack against a target creature, dealing damage equal to the blackguard’s level + his Cha modifier per channel energy spent. The target can halve the damage with a successful Will save (DC 10 + half the blackguard’s level + the blackguard’s Cha modifier).\\
+Alternatively, a blackguard can use this ability to heal undead creatures, restoring hit points equal to the blackguard’s level + his Cha modifier per channel energy spent.\\
+<php>echo "<i><font color=\"#E6DFC1\">Replaces:</font></i>";</php> Lay on Hands
+<php>echo "<b><font color=\"#FFC671\">Unholy Aura (Su):</font></b>";</php> At 3rd level, the blackguard gains an aura that affects all enemies within 15 ft. of him, bestowing a debilitating effect dependent on the aura selected.  The blackguard chooses one aura at 3rd level, and an additional aura at 9th and 15th level.  A blackguard can only have one aura active at a time, and switching auras requires a move action to do so.  The available auras are listed below:
+  * <php>echo "<i><font color=\"#BDDEFF\">Decay:</font></i>";</php> All enemies within 15 ft. of the blackguard suffer a -4 penalty on saving throws versus negative energy and death effects.
+  * <php>echo "<i><font color=\"#BDDEFF\">Despair:</font></i>";</php> All enemies within 15 ft. of the blackguard suffer a -4 penalty on saving throws versus mind-affecting abilities such as charm and fear effects.
+  * <php>echo "<i><font color=\"#BDDEFF\">Pestilence:</font></i>";</php> All enemies within 15 ft. of the blackguard suffer a -4 penalty on saving throws versus poison and disease.
+  * <php>echo "<i><font color=\"#BDDEFF\">Tyranny:</font></i>";</php> All enemies within 15 ft. of the blackguard suffer a -2 penalty to AC and saving throws against attacks or spells made by evil creatures.
+  * <php>echo "<i><font color=\"#BDDEFF\">Vengeance:</font></i>";</php> The blackguard can inflict damage upon nearby enemies in response to being attacked.  Whenever the blackguard takes damage from an attack by an enemy within 15 ft. of him, he can choose to inflict an amount of damage equal to his blackguard level back to that enemy. The blackguard may deal damage in this manner only once per round.\\
+<php>echo "<i><font color=\"#E6DFC1\">Replaces:</font></i>";</php> Holy Aura
+<php>echo "<b><font color=\"#FFC671\">Rebuke Undead (Su):</font></b>";</php> At 3rd level, a blackguard can admonish undead with a burst of divine energy.  As a standard action, a blackguard can expend one use from his channel energy pool to rebuke undead within a 60 ft. area.  A blackguard is treated as a cleric of two levels lower when rebuking undead.\\
+<php>echo "<i><font color=\"#E6DFC1\">Replaces:</font></i>";</php> Turn Undead
+<php>echo "<b><font color=\"#FFC671\">Sinister Smite (Su):</font></b>";</php> The blackguard can invoke special prayers that enhance his smite attack. At 5th level, the blackguard can choose any one of the smite abilities listed below, and can choose an additional sinister smite at 9th level and every four levels thereafter. These powers are in addition to the blackguard’s unholy smite attack, but the blackguard may only apply one of his sinister smites to any one such attack.  The list of sinister smites are listed below:
+  * <php>echo "<i><font color=\"#BDDEFF\">Dispelling Smite:</font></i>";</php> In addition to the normal effects of the smite, the target suffers the effects of a targeted //greater dispel magic// spell, with a caster level equal to the blackguard’s class level.
+  * <php>echo "<i><font color=\"#BDDEFF\">Expelling Smite:</font></i>";</php> In addition to the normal effects of the smite, if the target is a good outsider, it must make a Will save (DC 10 + half the paladin’s level + the blackguard’s Cha modifier) or be sent back to its native plane as per the //dismissal// spell. Good outsiders whose HD exceed 4 + the blackguard’s class level are unaffected by the dismissal effect.
+  * <php>echo "<i><font color=\"#BDDEFF\">Menacing Smite:</font></i>";</php> In addition to the normal effects of the smite, the blackguard marks the struck target, imposing upon it a –2 penalty to attack rolls when making any attack that doesn’t include the blackguard as a target.  Also, any damage the blackguard deals to the target is increased by an amount equal to the blackguard’s Charisma modifier for as long as the target remains marked.
+  * <php>echo "<i><font color=\"#BDDEFF\">Merciless Smite:</font></i>";</php> In addition to the normal effects of the smite, if the target is bloodied, the blackguard deals an additional 1d6 damage per two blackguard levels.
+  * <php>echo "<i><font color=\"#BDDEFF\">Stunning Smite:</font></i>";</php> In addition to the normal effects of the smite, the target must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + half the blackguard’s level + the blackguard’s Cha modifier) or be stunned for one round.
+  * <php>echo "<i><font color=\"#BDDEFF\">Vampiric Smite:</font></i>";</php> In addition to the normal effects of the smite, the target must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + half the blackguard’s level + the blackguard’s Cha modifier) or take 2 points of Constitution damage, allowing the blackguard to heal an amount of hit points equal to the blackguard’s level.
+<php>echo "<i><font color=\"#E6DFC1\">Replaces:</font></i>";</php> Imbued Smite
+<php>echo "<b><font color=\"#FFC671\">Fiendish Boon (Sp):</font></b>";</php> Upon reaching 5th level, a blackguard is granted a divine gift from his deity.  The blackguard can select one of the available boons listed below:
+  * <php>echo "<i><font color=\"#BDDEFF\">Fiendish Servant:</font></i>";</php> This type of bond allows a blackguard to gain the service of a fiendish servant. This functions as //summon monster III//, except the duration is permanent and the blackguard can only gain the service of a single creature and that creature must either have the evil subtype or it must be a fiendish animal. Once selected, the choice is set, but it may be changed whenever the blackguard gains a level. Upon reaching 7th level, and every two levels thereafter, the level of the //summon monster// spell increases by one, to a maximum of //summon monster IX// at 17th level. Once per day, as a full-round action, a blackguard may magically call his servant to his side. This ability is the equivalent of a spell of a level equal to one-third the blackguard’s level. The servant immediately appears adjacent to the blackguard. A blackguard can use this ability once per day at 5th level, and one additional time per day for every five levels thereafter, for a total of four times per day at 17th level. At 10th level, the servant gains +2 to all ability scores and has their natural armor increased by +2. At 15th level, a blackguard’s servant gains spell resistance equal to the blackguard’s level + 11. Should the blackguard’s fiendish servant die or be banished, the blackguard may not summon another servant for 30 days or until he gains a blackguard level, whichever comes first. During this 30-day period, the blackguard takes a -1 penalty on attack and weapon damage rolls.\\
