D&D 3E/3.5 High One Warrior-Wizard Build<3.5>

[LuckyBoneDice]

Found a substitution of Wizard I dig, I just have issues understanding how one can Optimize this Substitution class. Here's the prerequisites:

Must Be LG
Must have at least 2 levels of Paladin and whatever of wizard

Here's what you get:

Full BAB for 2nd, 4th, and 5th
2nd level: Smiting as a Paladin
4th level: Reduces ACF in armor by 20%
5th level: Familiar and Mount are one animal. The familiar mount uses the better of the two for everything minus NA, which is stacked

Here are the houserules:

Races from PHB, MM's, Races Of. Must be 0LA
One PrC, though no MCP (Multiclass Penalties)
PrCs that advance casting are not full (ie: Dragon Disciple, ect advance all 10 levels)

I guess you could go for mounted combat.
Other than that, not sure.

Why wizard and not sorc? i would have thought charisma would be better then int for that pairing.

 

[Dandu]

Sorc would be a better combination.

 

[LuckyBoneDice]

True, Sorcerer would in 99% of all cases, minus this one.

Without High One Warrior-Wizard, this build loses its luster: the mount familiar is removed, thus weakening the build as a whole, not including the lost casting.
The build relies on the questionable reading of the Sword of the Arcane Order feat, which acts like Swift Hunter or Daring Rogue, advancing Wizard and Paladin casting, makes each other's spells interchangeable, and improves the other's animal buddy.
