Final Notes:
There are 2 critical parts to this build:
1st - By around character level 6 you need to start becoming more chaotic so that you are neutral shortly after obtaining character level 8. This gives you the opportunity to become a Frenzied Berserker at character level 9.
The 5 preceding levels of Frenzied Berserker not only "unlock" Enhanced Power Attack, but they are also designed to give your character the necessary time to become evil. This is why you do NOT have the opportunity to choose the other classes before the Frenzied Berserker (..because they are predicated on alignment shifts that are to far from the Paladin's Lawful Good alignment).
You will need to be evil before level 14 so that you can become a Warlock. (..alternatively you could become chaotic.. BUT your character would still need to be evil by level 15 for the Blackguard class, and at least for role-playing value a neutral evil character is more in keeping with the class than a chaotic evil character.)
2nd - its also just as important to choose Power Attack at first level so that you can get Cleave at 3rd and Great Cleave at 6th. Like the alignment change from Lawful to Neutral, all 3 feats are needed to get the Frenzied Berserker class at level 9.
Feats: All the feats except Knockdown at character level 27 are critical to this build and are where they need to be in relation to the OC and MOTB. Again, Blind Fight was selected before Improved Power Attack because of its importance in the OC with certain opponents. Note that both Divine Might and Divine Shield required the inclusion of the Blackguard class at each feat respective level.
Skills: Diplomacy and Intimidate were deemed to be critical with the role-playing of an Inquisitor. 5 points in Hide were required for the Blackguard class (..an otherwise useless skill for this character). The other points in Use Magic Device (UMD) and Survival are not absolutely necessary, but at least in the case of UMD - were deemed very beneficial. (..Survival was seen as more of a skill-based corollary to the Inquisitor's magical "See the Unseen" Invocation, not as an "over-lap" to it like Spot or Listen would be.)
Invocations: The Dark One's Own Luck provides the character with one of the 3 Charisma bonus save modifiers. See the Unseen on the other hand was really the "driving" basis for the build's role-playing value. Additionally, See the Unseen also allows us to totally "gimp" on skill points in either Spot or Listen. At character level 9 you could exchange your 3 points in Survival for 3 in either Spot or Listen to help with those levels between 9 through 17. Additionally you could also swap positions of the Dark One's Own Luck with See the Unseen to get it 2 levels earlier. Up to you.
Anyway, *IF* you are looking for a near magically impervious character then give this build a try.
Additionally, if you don't want to put up with the Drow's 2 level deficit then DON'T. Instead create your character in Vordan's Hero Creator and level it up 1 or 2 levels, then export that character and start it up in the OC. For MOTB without an exported character from the OC this will be essential because of the alignment changes.
