[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8408553, member: 7030563"] Bladesinger would be the most powerful build if you can move your stats around, but if you are stuck with +0 Dex, +1 intelligence, those will not work very well with a bladesinger build. I think fighter 4 is the right place to multiclass. People will say to go to level 5 for extra attack, but honestly the blade cantrips will keep up with extra attack pretty well. I think you should go fighter 4, then Wizard 2 then fighter 8. I would look at school of abjuration, I think that is going to work better than warmagic. The problem with warmagic is shield is going to be better than the warmagic reaction for AC the reaction on saves are nice but spells can cover a lot of that ground too. As far as feats, warcaster is a good one, if you have an odd intelligence I would also look at Fey Touched or Shadow Touched. Finally if your DM will let you upcast from magic initiate spells, magic initiate Warlock for Armor of Agathys would be awesome for this build, especially with a school of abjuration. There are two ways to play this and either will have good defense. First option is to go all out defense, sword and board with false life (which you can get through shadow touched if necesseary), blur, protection from good and evil. Once you have money for plate you should be able to get a 26AC with the shield spell. This character can kite pretty well with Booming Blade as you will be very difficult to hit with a 26 and blur running. The other option is to go for offense and take a greatsword, you will do more damage and still have a high AC. For this build I would go with mirror image and pick up hex through fey touched.
