Bladesinger

[Dross Swordra]

For a game I am running I need to build a high level elven warrior. So far I'm considering a bladesinger. I like the idea of a warrior-wizard blend. What are some other prestige classes that offer full BAB and advance spell casting class?
I'm also open to other suggestions.

If you have PHBII, the Duskblade is the perfect elven wizard-warrior class.

Bladesinger is seriously weak......the dodge AC would be good, but you can only use a weapon in one hand, which seriously cuts down your offensive abilities.

The other class abilities are fairly sub-par as well.

Duskblade > bladesinger/eldrict knight/spellsword/rathmaril battlemage/etc

I second the recommendation for Duskblade, unless you really need a full Wizard/Sorceror spell list it's really a good fit for a melee focused character with some spellcasting abilities.

I guess my second choice would be Spellsword. You can eventually wear heavier armor than a Duskblade and will have full BAB, large spell selection but half caster progression.
