[QUOTE="Evilhalfling, post: 4165347, member: 16991"] [B]I like the concept[/B], Im not sure its do-able with your restrictions. 3.5 doesn't modle it well. Duskblade would fit the best – it’s a sword-swinging caster from level 1. although int is your casting stat, you can avoid spells with DCs – and 11 or 12 int would work until you can buy a headband. If you agree not to learn shocking grasp the potential for abuse is lower. Other wise it’s a pretty balanced class. I think Battle Sorcerer, and Warlock are your only other options. Otherwise your BAB and HP are going to be so low that you are never going to make it on the front line. Avoid any LA, that’s going to hurt survivability and spellcasting. Eldrich knight suffers from low hp, 5 levels of d4 and then d6 Abjurant champion is a better (although a little cheesy) Your other option is cleric. It gives you enough hp, BAB and armor. Make him stupid, and low wisdom >13. Have him be divinely gifted, and unconnected to any hierarchy. I can see some god like Kord, granting power this way. Never cast healing spells. Rename some common spells: divine favor, bless, shield of faith, 2nd level physical bluffs. See if your DM will allow spontaneous domain casting, as a feat or swapped for Spontaneous healing. This would let you enter every fight enlarged. Get a spell storing weapon, put your best inflict wounds in it. What level are you starting? How long do you expect the game to go? Any chance you could spend a bunch of levels as a fighter and then rebuild your character? (see PHB2) this might fit your concept the best. [/QUOTE]
