[QUOTE="Shin Okada, post: 5670115, member: 1956"] Thank you all for a lot of ideas. Now I am attracted by the idea of using Duskblade for qualifying for Abjurant Champion. How about this? Level 5: Human Warmage 4/Duskblade 1 (Battle Caster, Practiced Spellcaster/Warmage, another feat) Level 6: Duskblade 2 (bonus Combat Casting feat, Close-Quarter Fighting) Level 7: Spellsword 1 Level 8-12: Abjurant Champion (Arcane Strike at L9, another feat at L12) This case, I cannot channel spells. But can keep having almost full spell-casting ability of Warmage with only -2 lower BAB than full-BAB builds. This PC will wear medium armor and a light shield all the way. At level 6 he can take Shielded Casting feat from Races of Stone for not provoking AoO when casting a spell. [COLOR="Red"]Edit: Oops!
