How many Blackguard levels do you want (i.e. a few or more than 5)?

I'm not too good on those types of builds, but I'll try.

Monk/Pally/Blackguard
Cleric/Rogue/Blackguard
Pally/Blackguard/CoT
Sorc/Blackguard/Pally (about 6 Blackguard Levels max).

In general Pally and Blackguard multiclass well, as do Rogue and Cleric.

The fastest way to get to Blackguard is to take at least one level of Ranger, to get the required Hide Skill ranks asap without losing BAB. This way you can take your first level of Blackgaurd at lvl 7, provided you limit your character to another warrior class like Barbarian, Paladin oder Fighter. All other combinations require a minimum characterlevel of 8.

Well, bad is your english. ;)

A Paladin/Rogue combo should supplement your Blackgaurd career very well, you get twice the Paladin abilities, Sneak Attack bonus, and you wont have any difficulties in raising your hide skill.
Remember however, if you take your rogue beyond level 4, your first Blackguard level will be delayed to 9 due to lack of BAB.

No messing with others language skills ;)

Also - another reason to not take your rogue above level 4 would be the gaining of sneak attack bonus.
