Gameplay

A half-orc blackguard is a race/class combination off-limits to the player character generation.

His strength of 19 points means that he can serve as a good melee fighter and the best pack mule. His charisma of 16 makes him a decent "face" character for an evil party, granting you a good reaction adjustment and a minor discount on shop prices, matched only by Eldoth and Baeloth in BG:EE.

As a blackguard, his poison weapon ability was immensely helpful in battles with enemy mages, unfortunately this ability has been severely nerfed by later patches in EE, restricting the gameplay strategies and usefulness of both blackguards and assassins, who are the exclusive poison weapon ability users in original games.

Dorn’s passive fear immunity makes him the only companion in game able to quaff Durlag's Goblet without the aid from Kiel's Helmet. Give the helmet to somebody else and you immoderately have two party members who fully healed in seconds, you may also import this combo to SoD to extend its uses

His starting equipment is Splint Mail and a two-handed sword +1, Rancor, which gives him a +1 THAC0 bonus or +2 THAC0 bonus if he kills someone wielding the weapon in 24 hours. His proficiency points are two in each of Two-Handed Swords and the Two-Handed Weapon Style.

In-game biography

“

When asked about his past, DORN says little. Despite your aid in fighting his former comrades, he seems slow to trust you with much personal information.
From what you can piece together, the merciless half-orc hails from the north. You sense he has been betrayed in the past, and you expect he would exact harsh vengeance on anyone who betrays him in the future. His single-minded goals have left him with few interests or hobbies aside from combat.

Dialogues

	Hrmm. It's about time, <RACE>. Bring me another flagon of ale.
	Then why do you bother me? Begone.
	Listen carefully, <RACE>. If you continue to pester me, I will crush your neck with my bare hands. Go. Now.
	SENJAK! DOROTEA! I swore I would crush the life out of you someday. Today is that day!
	"Just following orders" is a coward's excuse, Dorotea. And I haven't forgotten what you said when I refused your advances.
	You are both mewling cowards, turning on each other as easily as you turned on me. Half your men are already dead. You'll join them soon.
	My name is Dorn Il-Khan, and I was settling an old score. I've been hunting those two for almost a year now. That's two down and two to go.
	Very wise, <CHARNAME>. We shall cut a bloody swath across the Sword Coast!
	I can hardly believe it. You, the spawn of Bhaal himself! Ur-Gothoz was wise to tie my fate to yours. Think of the rivers of blood we could spill across the realms!
	You should embrace this path. What a gift, to have the blood of a dark god coursing through your veins! Do you not see the possibilities? We could silence all who oppose us! No one would dare call my lineage into question!
	The source of your divine essence doesn't matter, don't you see? Bhaal is DEAD! I say that the blood of a god is the blood of a god. It matters not from whence it came.
	Yes! I can see it now. A great fate awaits you. Do not forget those who have bled for you when you finally ascend.
