[QUOTE="Eldragon, post: 3659580, member: 3962"] My new favorite Fighter/Mage build is the Swiftblade. Yeah you use some caster levels, but the ability to spring in and out of combat more than makes up for it, along with abilities that just cant be replicated with spell/feat combos. The Swiftblade is the king of mobility, and for the usually frail Gish, battlefield mobility is very very useful. Finally someone else who loves Whirling blade! IMHO its one of the best spells for the Fighter-Mage. Another great thing about this spell is you can use your feats and class features with it! Power Attack, Improved Critical, Weapon Focus, It all applies to the blade you use in the Whirling Blade spell. Wraithstrike + Power Attack + Whirling blade. Normally I pump as much magic and feats I can into my Melee weapon, so on those rare occasions I need a good long ranged punch, just use whirling blade. My DM Allows the Chainspell Metamagic feat to apply to the spell as well. Note: Instead of hitting one guy and bouncing to each target for 1/2 damage, we just let it arc to 1 target/level, with no damage dealt to creatures between the targets. We envision it as the Gish equivalent of the Jedi Lightsaber throw (Yes, we have entered the realm of house rules, but it keeps with the spirit of the spell and the rules). [/QUOTE]
