I'm sorry for the confusion. By saying no 1st ed. wiz was complete without a longsword, I was referring to the ridiculously easy multi-class rules, where there was no real penalty to being a Ftr/Mu.
In 3rd ed., taking levels of fighter is extremely prohibitive to the wizard. However, taking 1 level has the following benefits:
- You have an extra feat at level 1
- You have 6 more hit-points
- You don't have to spend three feats (or any, for that matter) on heavy armor proficiency
Of course, there's a part of me that's wondering whether it might not be more beneficial to skip the fighter, keep to light armor and go the Dex route. Of course, that introduces a third prime stat for our melee-caster.
I'd bribe my DM into letting me create a weapon with 50 charges of true strike and PA all day long. But then, my DM lets me get away with too much. Is there another, legal, way to store up on true strike spells?
Oh, and cloak of major displacement is a must.
