InEffect: Fauchards are fine as those sport serpent prince. As for most armor users I'd advice going melee sorc. Something like fighter1/Sorc5/DD4/EK10 or Fighter1/Monk1/Sorc4/DD4/EK19 for better tempo. That thing can actually stack AC reasonably high reasonably fast. And will be a comfortable run.
Another thing you can do is go STR Vivi as that will work. Something simple like Fighter1/Vivi16/SLayer3 would work.
Shaken is best achieved from dirge from bard8 or as a SL8 sorc spell frightful aspect. Shatter is a staple for everyone.
After glance at wiki page I'd say Str armored vivi would be the closest pick. Don't think those dudes are above sneak attacks and combat-enhancing drugs.
Because Blackguards are strictly melee fighters (King prohibits any males outside of himself from casting spells) I was initially thinking 2H Fighter with decent CHA, and go through Dazzling Display, PA, Intimidating Prowess, Cornungon Smash into Dreadful Carnage with some Thug dips for Frightening and the sneak bonuses. Outflank and Shatter Defenses too, maybe? Another thing you can do is go STR Vivi as that will work. Something simple like Fighter1/Vivi16/SLayer3 would work.

Anyway, I'll have a look at Vivisectionist, thank you.
