yeah. why is it that no one mentioned spells word until jsut now. one level, jsut one level, give you +1 spellcasting class, d8 HD, AND ignore arcane spell failure 10%.
if you like sorcerers, this build works great: pal 2/ sor 5/ spellsword 3/ e-knight 10.
final scores:
BAB = 16, fort = 14, flex = 5, will = 10. Caster Level = 16. take practised spellcaster to boost your caster level (though it won't raise your spells perday/known/etc.)
if you prefer wizards, then try ftr 2/ wiz 5/ spellsword 3/ e-knight 10.
BAB = 16, fort = 14, flex = 5, will = 10. Caster Level = 16. take practised spellcaster to boost your caster level (though it won't raise your spells perday/known/etc.)
alternatively, you could do: ftr 1/ wiz 6/ spellsword 3/ e-knight 10. this gives you a BAB of 16, so four attacks, but it also give you a caster level of 17, which gets you 9th level spells. still take practised spellcaster.
