My brother is trying to create a Cleric/Blackguard and needs some help. His character is a neutral evil human devoted to Nerull. He's intenting to take his character up to level 25, which means 5 ranks in Blackguard (he doesn't see much point to the blackguard class beyond getting the fiendish servant) and 20 ranks in Cleric. He wants to make his character a thoroughly evil antipaladin commanding an undead army against the forces of good (think Army of Darkness). He basically wants a character that is decent at spellcasting but can also wade in melee when needed.
Abilities:
What should his abilities look like? We're using point buy 25 points. I know that WIS and CHA are his primary abilities, but I'm concerned that he won't have enough left over for a decent STR, CON, and especially INT. INT is especially tricky because Cleric skill points are very low from the get-go and getting 5 ranks in hide means sacrificing 10 skill points that would otherwise go to his class skills.
Feats:
Iirc, he'll get 8 non-epic feats and 2 epic feats by level 25. But he has to take cleave, imp sunder, and power attack, so that leaves 5 discretionary non-epic feats and 2 epic feats. Which feats should he take? Would the leadership feat be worth it?
Thanks for the help.
