A couple of feats like Weapon Profciency and melee training would sufice. 2) If you want to have a closer to his fighting style approach, with powers that actually are chanelled "via" sword, you would have to either multiclass or create a class for him.I think mixing Avenger or Spellsword would solve the problem, but in my oppinion Gandalf looks and/or attitude would not be the same.  Lets face it: Gandalf from movies dont use Magic Missiles or Divine Bolts becuse Tolkien came before DnD, not the other way around.<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=";)" /> Just 2 cents.</blockquote>
