Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shreav" data-source="post: 5529774" data-attributes="member: 6673485">Hey guys, a couple of weeks back I came here for a little help, and Dandu and another person, were kind enough to spend some time going over some queries I had.So, just to set the scene a little, it's a Gestalt character.  The aim of the character is as follows:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Combine touch spells with melee attacks;</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Stack up sneak attacks from Rogue and Unseen Seer;</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Have enough skills points to distribute into at least Concentration, Spellcraft, Bluff, Knowledge(Arcana) and Tumble.</li> </ul>What was basically designed, in the end, was this:Side 1: Rogue/Duskblade 3/Rogue/ Duskblade 11/Rogue 2/Duskblade 2Side 2: Wizard 5/Mind Bender/Unseen Seer 10/Fate Spinner 4I've attached a Word document and made a table to make it easier to read, I hope you'll read it.  I was pretty happy with this for a while, but then I realized that there's a problem in wearing light armor.  Even if I wear light armor, arcane failure is only avoided for Duskblade spells.  If I cast spells as a wizard, then arcane failure still exists. A friend advised me to replace Wizard levels with either Warmage or with Battle Sorceror.  While this fixes the light armor arcane spell failure issue, it creates new problems.<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Warmage hardly has any touch spells</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Battle Sorceror has a very limited choice of spells.  I'd be spending so much time trying to meet the spell requirements of Mindbender and Unseen seer that I wouldn't be able to invest in proper offensive touch spells.  (Mindbender: 1 Charm spell out of 2 known 1st level spells, Unseen Seer: 2 1st level Divination spells out of 3 known 1st level spells)</li> </ol>Should I just forget about the whole armor thing and stick to robes?   It sort of makes little sense, though, if I intend to get involved in melee combat.  There is the Mage Armor spell, but I don't know how I feel about using a spell slot for that.</blockquote>
