Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elder-Basilisk" data-source="post: 392971" data-attributes="member: 3146">The Psi warrior is actually significantly different than a psion/fighter multiclass because of the psionic feats. A psi warrior can select psionic feats as bonus feats--the fighter/psion would get bonus feats but couldn't use them for psionic feats.Consequently there's a qualitative difference between a psi-warrior and a fighter/psion multiclass.In the case of this arcane warrior class, there's not much of a qualitative difference between a fighter/sorceror who chose buffing spells and the arcane warrior. There is a qualitative difference however, because the arcane warrior is a slightly better class: It gets a half hit point more per level and can get several 6th level spells while retaining a +15 BAB. The Fighter/sorceror could get 1 6th level spell by going fighter 8/sorceror 12 but would then have a +14 BAB. Given that, IMHO, a 1/1 fighter/sorceror multiclass is too weak, I think that the added strength of this core class is sufficient reason for it to exist. If you want what is almost a 1/1 fighter/sorceror progression to be viable, it's either a create new core class or a prestige class that's significantly better than the spellsword. (It's worth noting that there are almost no prestige classes which it could advantageously take without giving up spell advancement seeing as only Sacred Exorcist gives even an equivalent hit die and attack bonus with full spell progression and since Arcane Warriors don't get Dismissal on their spell lists, they can't become Sacred Exorcists).What's unfortunate, however, is that in this case, the difference is still merely quantitative.</blockquote>
