July 15, 2012: How the heck did I forget Bluff on the skill list?
August 15, 2012: Crushing Personality no longer scares you and your allies (opponents only).
   Unholy Smite no longer references vile damage (which it does not deal).
   Beshadowed Smite now properly references Unholy Smite instead of the nonexistent Vile Smite.

Reserved one last post in case I ever get around to making the alignment-transcending Silverguard.

You have 10 levels in the classes and 20 levels in the spell progression... is that intentional?  I didn't read the class features yet.

I read the class features.   :psyduck

Changed the domain access so you can pick from the domains your deity offers, should you worship one of the appropriate alignment.

Spellcasting question -

Despite the fact that the Blackguard class is only 10 levels long, the Blackguard spell progression extends to 20 levels. Add your Paladin and Whiteguard levels to your Blackguard level to determine your effective Blackguard level for the purposes of spellcasting.

If you have 10 levels of paladin and you take a level or White/Blackguard, you get 11 levels of White/Blackguard spellcasting. Do you also retain your 10 levels of paladin spellcasting, or does it get replaced with this?

Yes, you keep your existing spellcasting in addition to the new one.
