Lost my blackguard abilities!

Grum

So...I have a blackguard. She killed drizzt and got his scimitars. So she donned the helm of opposite alignment, equipped the scimitars, and had viconia cast remove curse. The helmet fell off, the scimitars stayed...life was grand!

I just noticed that she lost her blackguard abilities. She is now just a weak fighter. Is there anything that I can do to get them back? Because at the moment she is the equivalent of a fallen paladin...

The easiest way would be to use eekeeper.

Also don't put that helmet on or it will happen again.

So the Helm of Opposite Alignment ALWAYS turns your Blackguard into a Fallen Paladin? That's interesting..

@Rodrian Not always. Only if your reputation is below the point at which a good paladin would fall. So if you have a good rep you don't need to worry about it.

Yep, I've tested this with a new Blackguard in Candlekeep and CLUA consoling the helm of opposite alignment. He keeps his abilities until he goes on a monk killing spree at which point he loses reputation and becomes simply known as "Paladin" (guess that's the equivalent of a fallen blackguard!) with no special abilities.
