[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2920497, member: 19675"] Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! 1) My bad: the build I posted would be 10 Feats, not 11. The 11 Feat build was War6/Ftr4/EK10. One build has access to 9th level spells, the other has an extra feat. The number of Feats may also be affected by race- one of the other players and I are planning on playing related PCs. My concept came first, but I'm a lot more flexible in my PC tastes than he is- if he comes up with a PC concept that is not compatible with Blitz being human, I'll fix it. 2) The reason for the Fighter levels: Point Blank Shot & Precise Shot as bonus feats + BAB + HD. This guy isn't intending to go into melee, but may still take a polearm & combat reflexes to get additional attacks if/when the foes get close. Combined with Arcane Strike, even Blitz's low level spells will be useful anytime. A word about weapons: Maul is just one of my favorite weapons, and I have a ridiculously cool berobed, Maul equipped Reaper mini and a little voice in my head talking about this guy being a devotee of Thor or some such. However, I also have several lightly armored types with polearms. Both concepts are running neck & neck. Blitz will also be using some kind of bow, much as Sabathius42 proposed, in order to maintain his spell power without sacrificing tactical advantage. 3) I like Spellswords in general, but here it seems less than optimal combined with the Warmage since the warmage starts off being able to cast without ASF in light armor, and has 2 ways of casting in medium armor without ASF (levels or Battle Caster feat). EK also has full spellcasting progression. 4) I don't remember what Arcane Disciple does, nor am I familiar with Exalted Arcanist, Knight Phantom, Skillful Weapon and Sudden Stun . Care to expand upon those? [/QUOTE]
