Hey all,

Like the title says I need some help. My current party is at lvl 3 and consits of a warden, ilussionist, warlord, shaman and me as a blackguard. The thing is im not really enjoying my blackguard and as the only striker I feel like im not performing as well as i should.

I asked the DM if i could change classes and he doesnt mind, so i was wondering if I could get some recomendations and example builds of what type of character would be good to play in these circumstances.

Thanks and sorry for any formating or spelling errors im currently at work so im writing this up from my phone.

EDIT: Fixed Formating

I'd think rogue or thief.  Get SA (should be trivial especially with that party) and stab away.  The warlord and possibly even shaman can then make you stab more.

A dagger as your weapon (or shuriken in the off hand) could even have the warlord and shaman using you to stab things all over the battlefield if they can otherwise ensure you've got the ranged CA, which the illusionist should be pretty good at helping out with.


Edit - Yah a Thief with Hidden Sniper feat and what ever is your favoritest ranged attack.  At the start of a fight, grab partial concealment (stand behind anything pretty much) and just shoot your way to victory.  Both the warlord and shaman should be able to use your damage through granted attacks.

The obvious answer is a Ranger. A good place to start is linked below.

Yeah, the blackguard is kind of a joke. I dunno how far you're going to be going in this campaign, but Ranger, Slayer, and Thief are the ones you want here.

Sneak Attack. 

Yeah, go with one of those guys Erachima said.  The warlord and shaman will make it sing.
Wizards of the Coast can suck it.

SA= Sneak Attack.

Ranger may fit that party better. Warlord and Shaman can probably hand out basic attacks, most of which will be Melee Basic Attacks from the Warlord. Thief as a charger could be good also and cover a good set of skills with thievery and stealth to combine with perception to make you the ideal scout/trap finder.

The top result on a google search is Sexaholics Anonymous, and I'm kinda surprised you didn't say Server/Systems Analyst/Administrator.
