[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7490988, member: 20564"] The Booming Blade (and Green-Flame Blade though not as thematic) cantrips work great for the melee part - they bring you up to "not regretting not using a cantrip" damage to handle the melee part. They aren't compatible with extra attack, so while they do enhance some of your multiclass ideas, they don't do much for college of swords. Swashbuckler gives you easy disengage, important since you'll be a bit fragile, adn can take advantage some of your CHR. But it doesn't add to your casting at all. A few other ideas: Mixing in a multiclass to warlock and picking up Hexbalde can give you a bunch of melee advantages, including using your CHR to hit/damage with many weapons. If you go up to 3rd for Pact of the Blade it can be with any weapon. If you're just looking for melee and storm-type spells, have you considered a Wizard (Bladesinger)? Between a proper background and some spells you can handle roguish, though with CHR deprioritized the charlatan aspect might need some multiclassing. (Though picking up expertise in some CHR skills through rogue could do it.) [/QUOTE]
