Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jubilee" data-source="post: 3387807" data-attributes="member: 36594">I'm currently building a goblin duskblade in an eberron campaign.  At 7th level, I will be a 5th level duskblade/2nd level dragon devotee.At 3rd Dragon Devotee, I get a level of sorcerer + I can cast sorcerer 0 and 1st level spells in light armor.  One of the spells I will take is shield.At 9th level, I will go into abjurant champion.  I will put one level of progression into sorcerer and the other 4 into duskblade.  I haven't yet decided what I will do with the martial casting ability - but I'm inclined to put it into sorcerer, so my shield will last something like 24 minutes.. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />After 5 levels of abjurant champion, I'll take 2 more levels of Dragon Devotee (netting me another level of sorcerer casting, and all 3 +2 stat boosts).  After that I think I'm going back into duskblade (possibly spellsword), but I don't expect the campaign will go that high.Mostly, I'll be a first-hit wonder.  I've got a sword of spell storing, and I'll put a scorching ray in it.  Then I'll quicken a true strike, power attack for full, and channel a shocking grasp through my sword - first round of combat I'll do something like 6d6 + 21 points of damage.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  Then I'll just use my massive +9 intimidate (-4 if they're bigger than me!) to look good for the rest of the combat.I considered both the ultimate magus and the archivist/theurge builds myself, but ultimately, they didn't add enough to my "run up and smash" desires to outweigh the negatives - especially since I felt that the first 5 levels of duskblade abilities were all must-haves, and I didn't want to wait until 10th to go into mystic theurge, nor did I want to start play split 3/4 (since goblins have a preferred class of rogue, my multi-classing options are more limited).  Wizard attack bonus was just brutal!/ali</blockquote>
