So this means a 3rd level Blackguard (min 9 character levels total) can command undead as a 1st level cleric. A 10th level BG (min 16 character levels) can command undead as a 8th level cleric. I have to wonder if that's at all useful for any Blackguard except ones that multi-class with cleric. But overall probably a minor point.
I got around to looking at the turn undead script yesterday, and it appears that the custom one I picked up (and tweaked with other things) for the Thay is already taking the Blackguard character level instead of class level as it seems you're not the only one to feel this way. So I'm not going to change it and I will clarify future Blackguard changes to show this modification.
Just for fun, this is what was in the script already. Thought it was kind of funny.
Code:
// * April 2003
// * Change from official rules for balance purposes
// * Blackguard gets to turn at 'character level' - 2 not class level
// * otherwise the ability is rather useless
if (nBlackguardlevel > 0 && nTotalLevel - 2 > nClassLevel) {
nClassLevel = nTotalLevel - 2;
nTurnLevel = nTotalLevel - 2;
}
