    1. One of the requirements of Blackguard is the "cleave" feat right? So if my char has a level in monk, which will gain the "cleave" feat for free, and have met all other requirements, he will be able to become a blackguard right? Or must he really put a feat in "cleave" manually, before he can become a blackguard?

    2. The feat "spring attack" and the skill "tumble" does about the same thing right?
    So is it better if I just learn the feat "spring attack" so I need not bother about the skill "tumble", which need to be taken many times?

    1: Yep, the monk doesnt have to select Cleave at levelup. BTW, taking a prestige class isnt considered multiclassing at all. It doesnt count for XP penality either.

    2: Skill Tumble effectively replaces spring attack(as it is in NwN) when it reaches 14. at every Attack of Oppurtunity(AOO) there's a DC of 15. You roll tumble skill + dexterity modifier.
    The other important difference is that every 5 ranks (not including dex.) you get an extra +1 to AC, which is simply great ;)

    @Gothmog4230,
    1. So can I say, a fighter who meets all the requirement for blackguard, but short of only the "cleave" feat, so he just take a level in monk and hooray! Finally he can be a blackguard?

    2. Oh! So unless I have not enough skills points to put in, I go for the feat "spring attack". But if I have plenty of skills to put in, it will be better for me to pump up the tumble skill for the additional AC benefits right?
    Just want to confirm.

    Spring attack is also the pre-requisite to Whirlwind, which is a powerful ability
