[QUOTE="RogueJK, post: 7554185, member: 170"] Or, if you don't want to bother with Eldritch Knight, and want more attacks overall (albeit at lower damage) combined with high level Wizard spellcasting, you can do a Shadar-Kai Fighter1/BladesingerX, with the same stats as above. Start with Fighter at Level 1, and then go straight Bladesinger. This one is more of a pure caster, and will end up with some decent melee ability thanks to Bladesinger features and Shadow Blade, on top of basically full Wizard caster ability. Take the Two Weapon Fighting Fighting Style, then wield a Shadow Blade plus a shortsword, or two shortswords when you don't have Shadow Blade running. Go +1 DEX and +1 INT at W4, Warcaster at W8 and +2 DEX at W12 (or vice versa), +2 INT at W16, and finally +2 INT at W19. You'll need the Warcaster feat to be able to cast most spells while dual-wielding weapons. And while Booming Blade won't be used during your normal Attacks, it's still useful for Warcaster Opportunity Attacks. With Extra Attack at Bladesinger 6, you'll be doing Shadow Blade Attack + Shadow Blade Extra Attack + Shortsword Bonus Attack. And starting at Bladesinger 14 you'll be adding both DEX and INT to your damage on each of the three weapon attacks. In addition, you'll have practically full Wizard casting, so you can choose between slinging spells, or wading into melee when you want to conserve spells for later, or you're running out. And you'll have access to higher level defensive spells than the other Shadow Blade builds, plus access to high level world-altering stuff. Plus your AC, movement, and Concentration will be higher than nearly any other Wizard. [/QUOTE]
