[QUOTE="moritheil, post: 4155705, member: 30610"] You know, it really does depend on what you are aiming for. A Paladin/Battle Sorcerer is just fine if you want to only worry about one stat and would like high saves (though you'll have to figure out in advance how many levels of Paladin you want - I would suggest 4, so you're covered by Practiced Spellcaster.) Battle Sorcerer is a UA variant that allows you to cast in armor, and grants 3/4 BAB and d8 HD. If it doesn't have to be arcane spellcasting, then psionics is quite nice. Take a look at Slayer, then look at Eldritch Knight - Slayer wins hands down. More hit points, better features, and psionics can be used with any armor with no failure chance. The divine method is so simple that it's almost tiresome: simply be a druid or cleric, buff yourself up, and whale the tar out of your enemies. The only variations on the theme are the use of Divine Metamagic: Persistent or Divine Spell Power. For power builds, Duskblade loses out heavily to actual wizard or sorc levels, because it stops at 6th level spells. It also does not include the crucial spell Wraithstrike, which both ensures you will hit and allows you to ignore damage reduction. EDIT: It doesn't seem anyone has mentioned the Chameleon. If you want to build a "triple threat" fighter/rogue/mage type, then that class is worth looking into. It is something of an anomaly, as it does not help you qualify for feats/classes, and you don't gain the benefits of multiple classes from it until you attain the higher levels. It stops at 6th level casting, which as I mentioned before is a flaw, but it partially compensates by allowing [I]any[/I] arcane spells to be used, not just Sor/Wiz ones. [/QUOTE]
