[QUOTE="Thasmodious, post: 4965095, member: 63272"] I don't much care for the swordmage myself, I meant a multiclass version. You can be a fighter/wizard from 1st level, long as you take the feat, power swaps over your career get you a split of about 2/3 fighter - 1/3 wizard, more like 50/50 if you take a wizard paragon path or paragon multiclassing. A dwarf fighter/wizard with close burst powers, a big hammer, and expeditious retreat (or dimension door) is just awesomesauce. I haven't experimented much with wizard/fighters, but I'd guess its workable, especially with a race that nets you some decent racial weaponry, like dwarf or eladrin. First thing I did when I got the 4e books was test the waters on this combination with a dwarf fighter/wizard. I wanted to see what an un-synergistic combination looked like, no racial bonuses to main stats for either class, two classes with different ability score needs. And it worked. He'd be a point or two behind on attack numbers against normally synced up characters, but he was workable from the start. And, me too, all about the dwarves in BECMI. Dwarves...rocked...nice. :) [/QUOTE]
