Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ace" data-source="post: 3551577" data-attributes="member: 944">My preferred Battle Mage builds are Battle Sorcerer with Bloodline feat. This gives you a progression that is closer to a standard sorcerer-- a new spell level at 4, 6, etc. Best Races -- Human (bonus feat and skills) Elf (extra martial weapons) or Dwarf (War Axe as your prime weapon among other neat things) If you want different try  Swashbuckler 3, Psion 7, Slayer 10 with  Spiked Chain, Weapon Casting and -- 16 manifester levels Int to damage -- free weapon finesse for your chain and bab of 16. This is the only no 9th level manifester version I use and I like it simply because its funky. This needs to be Human or Half Elf or Elan.  Psion 8 Slayer 10 Fighter 2 16 bab 17 manifester levels 2 psionic bonus feats, 2 combat bonus feats optionally a BAB +15 18 Manifester level version with Fighter 1 Psion 9  instead needs to be Human, Half Elf, Elan, Dwarf, Druegar (the fighter 1 version can do this with 17 manifester levels) another Option is Slayer 9 Psion 10 Fighter 1 -- this trades the slayer cap ability for a Psion Feat.Classic Arcanist /BattlerFighter 1 with Dragon 355 Variant that reduces ASF and Increases move Wizard 8 Spellsword 1 Eldritch Knight 10 Human is best here -- 18 caster levels 16 BAB and  No ASF and full move  in mithril fullplate, If you want a wee more versitility at the cost if some arcane power drop  3 levels of Eldritch Knight for either Human or Elf paragon -- this gets you 15 BAB and 17 caster levels but nets an ability increase and some neat abilities A scouting version of the Battle Mage Ranger (variant with swift movement instead of weapon style and trap sense instead of tracking from Dungeon Scape) 2Eldritch Knight 10 Wizard 8 This is best as a Human although Half Elf can be used as well Your feats Tracking Able Learner (too keep certain skills high) This is a swift (40+ magic) trap finding tracker with  bab of 16 and 17 caster levels. You are a bit fragile so con can help you out but you are very versitile</blockquote>
