A fellow player wanted me to OK his character before he brought it to table, he attached it to an email and sent it to me. I thought I would post it up here and allow the board to take a crack at this and then show him the resulting post once we wrenched this into some sort of order. The only constraints is that it needs to remain a Blackguard with no hybrid everything else is free game.

He used the human racial to grab a third at-will, Virtuous Strike, which yes is a Cha MBA.
The build is meh, but then Blackguards are meh so....

If it helps his party is a Bravlord (focusing on granting attacks), a Ranger|Cleric (for Catch 22), an Artful Dodger Rogue and a Paladin|Fighter (Defender).
Please try to give as precise critiques / suggestions as you can so that it is more than just my voice if/when I can ask him to change something.

**plays along as if the person whose character this actually is**
Why not power of arcana? So far nobody in the party has an arcana main and it will be useful.
Same with Arcane Prodigy. You say these are bad, but what else should I get?
I don't know what magic items will be allowed, so I'm just not wearing any yet. Is there anything I should look out for?

Ok I'm sorry but I'm going to list my gripes, I'm not going to preemptively expect a response from your player.
Edit: as for Arcana, you might as well take skill focus. And frankly, with the awful INT, he's just going to be mediocre at it.

It was a dumb idea anyway, I'll go back to being that one jerk in the group who "is just playing with numbers".

You can also go Tiefling and take Wrath of the Crimson Legion for a CHA MBA. This opens up some other fun racial feats as well.
If you're really the best hope for Arcana in your party, you can go secondary INT and base initiative off CHA with Imperious Majesty.
