[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5357956, member: 51930"] Eldritch Knight. And any Wizard who's fighting Golems, who are immune to most spells. And if you're caught needing to swim, or climb, or jump to stay alive. Another consideration is also that you're talking about reducing your Cha to minimal levels. This ignores save DCs, which you want to have as high as possible. Also intimidate checks. And bonus spells are handy. Mage Armour and Shield are particularly useful for a melee arcanist, and you don't need a high spellcasting stat. What race are you thinking about? And are there feats that you'd want? Some you can do without needing to be a fighter. Power Attack/Cleave you can get done right away if you're human. Others you can pick up by the time you're a Dragon Disciple, even if you're never a fighter. Another option is also the Paladin/Sorcerer. You'd have all the Cha for a good DC, and you'd have the armour and weapons. On top of this, you can heal and, I believe, self-buff. Before you poo poo this away: Bahamus is a big D&D personality these days. You could play a Metallic dragon. [/QUOTE]
