I am making a new 2nd level character I have it narrowed down to a human swordmage:
Str: 13
Con:13
Dex: 10
Int: 20
Wis: 10
Cha: 08
with the Arcane Unitiate, Armor Pro Hide and Defensive Mobility feats
or
a dwarven fighter with the battlerager vigor
Str: 17
Con:18
Dex: 10
Int: 10
Wis: 13
Cha: 08
With the Dwarf Stoneblood and Dwarven Weapon training feats.
I like the idea of the high AC multiclass wizard swordmage but I think, from what I can tell and feel free to correct me, that the swordmage doesn't do a lot of mid to high level damage and they don't have things like dwarven weapon traning so aside from things like power attack, it appears you will only do weapon damage + Int modifier.
The dwarf battlerager feature seems nice, plus with all the new powers to increase damage by adding in your Con, dwarven weapon training and a few other things you can gain a healthy damage bonus plus you are gaininng hit points with each hit.
So, tell me what you think and any experience you have with either class.
Er, Please
