Needing to take Practiced Spell Caster to keep the Caster level up to character level,  and less over all spells in exchange for being able to do 9d6 Sneak Attack damage with the 0 level spell Ray of Frost,  seems to quiet most people who claim that multi classing spell casters is a losing proposition.  The key is a PrC based Multi-Classing fix has to recgonize that the Eldritch Knight route needs other advantages, hopefully specializing advantages, to make up for the poor mix that Fighter Wizard makes.</blockquote>
