After the domains of Dread and Blood have appeared in the Void, I couldn't help but stop thinking about to make a class of my own.

Inspired by Death Knights from World of Warcraft, and Dark Knights of Final Fantasy XIV, I've deigned to create a defender that would stand apart from the 🗡Guardian🛡 and the ☀️Seraph⚔️, while leaning into a darker side of the bulwark role.

The result is...

The 💀Blackguard🩸

A class based on 2 variable (Dread or Blood) and 1 base domain (Valor), designed around granting protection and active retaliation. A stoic enforcer, who would endure and crush the oppozition, rather than try and weather it.

• Ebon Blade: Feed off Fear and turn the tide when it gets the darkest.
• Crimson Knight: A wielder of on immensely versatile blood weapon.

This abomination is untested, so it might end up either undertuned or overtuned! If you have any feedback - please share it here, or in the original reddit thread, and I will gladly look into it.

Unlike the reddit thread, here you will find two versions of the class:

• An original class with 3 domains that are linked to subclasses.
• An alternate, conventional 2 domain class.

Note: at the time of posting both the Blood and Dread domains are only available in the Void.
