[QUOTE="eamon, post: 3781387, member: 51942"] The beguiler is... so-so, melee wise. He can wear light armor (just as well, as that can leave your speed untouched), but his spell-list is mostly illusions and enchantments, and not so many self-buffs (which you'd want) You could try the shugenja in the complete divine. It's a divine caster with bad BAB, but it has a lot of buff's on it's spell list. It can wear any armor without spell failure, but is proficient with none (which is unhandy). Things like barkskin, shield of faith, greater magic weapon, might make a decent buffer. If you take a level of fighter or barbarian or paladin (or even two!) you would have the armor benefit. Paladin is particularly interesting since it grants both armor proficiency and also uses charisma (a shugenja's casting stat) for smites and as a bonus on saves (both quite interesting). I don't think you'll be a combat powerhouse, but it might work. A Wu - Jen would qualify too (Complete Arcane), but I don't think they'd be particularly good either. I'm not really sure what your best bet would be, but I'm curious what you choose... ;-). [/QUOTE]
