(Especially if, as I understood from comments on Andy Collins' boards, EKs can cast in light and medium armor w/out spell failure (hello mithral fullplate/mithral breastplate)). AC might be problematic but could potentially be boosted by careful application of Alter Self (Yuan Ti Abomination has reach and good natural armor; and Sahaugin have good natural armor). The shield spell would provide an AC boost for the EK who wields a two handed weapon. AC could also be made less relevant by spells like Blink, Stoneskin (works well combined with Fire Shield), and Improved Invisibility. Combining Blink or Improved Invisibility with Expert Tactician would also help to make up for the weakness in BAB.Of course, after using all the right spells, the EK still wouldn't be MUCH better of a fighter than the single classed fighter--and each round he casts a defensive spell is a round he isn't attacking (possibly excepting the combination of blink/imp invis and expert tactician which would allow cast+expert tactician attack in the same round) and he can only cast so many spells per day. . . .</blockquote>
