As for him taking a Chain Spell feat, instead you might want to buy a lesser rod of Chaining and 'borrow it' to him each day for use with a GMW. That way, he doesn't use up a feat.Everyone has already covered the standard builds. Here is a somewhat different one:20th level build:FIghter4 / Wizard 4 / Arcane Archer 4 / Spellsword 8.At 17th level:Fighter 4 / Wizard 4 / Arcane Archer 4/Spellsword 5BAB +13/+8/+3Fort +12 Reflex +7 Will +10HD 4d10 + 4d4 + 4d8 + 5d8This would allow you to:1. Cast as a 6th level wizard and eventually get up to 8th level wizard (4 wizard, starting +2 Spellsword, ending +4 Spellsword)2. Imbue arrows with something better than Flaming Hands (Imbue from Arcane Archer)3. Ignore spell failure 20% (Spellsword) which reduces the change of Arcane Failure by that amount. At 7th level it goes to 20% and at 9th level, it goes to 30%.4. Once a day, be able to channel a spell through your weapon (in this case, arrow). Can only do first and second level spells to start.5. Spellsword cache. Ability to use a weapon to hold the equivilent of a potion.Spellsword also gets good Fort and Will saves, and a bonus feat at 8th level. The down side is the d8 HD and 3/4 BAB.The spellsword is from Tome & Blood.Edit: Needed to bump the wizard level to qualify for Spellsword. Should have checked the rules more carefully, shame on me.</blockquote>
