[QUOTE="EyeontheMountain, post: 3154467, member: 32338"] Actually the battle sorcerer is -1 spell slot and -1 spell known fo each spell level. That is a lot of versatility down the drain. I do not consider the batle sorceror to be a very good option for a pure caster. If you want him to be some kind of fighter, maybe, just maybe (but then the stalwart sorceror from Complete Mage is good.) If you get a mithril chain shirt with the twilight ability there is no arcane spell failure and no penalty so even without proficiency a sorceror can wear it. IMHO, losing a psll known from each level is a killer, even if you use other feats to get some spells known back like draconic feats, or initate feats. Sorcerors are always hurting for spells known, nad a bit of extra BAB, a couple more hit points, and lightarmor proficiency is too much for me. My current favorite fighter/mage build is Duskblade 9 Bard 1 Sublime chord 10 Good fighting abilities, casting in light armor, decent BAB, and 9th level spells. Withteh nice add on that most of the duskblade's abilities are for ANY arcane spell, so with sublime chord you can get some nice synergy. [/QUOTE]
