[QUOTE="Mengu, post: 5311119, member: 65726"] Do you have your heart set on Swordmage? If you have an artificer and a warlock in the party, those are both arcane characters, and have intelligence primary and secondary respectively. Depending on their builds, they may also have constitution secondary and primary respectively. You may be creating a weakness in the party by playing yet another intelligence and constitution based arcane character. Also monk and swordmage both basically get the same ally friendly close burst at-will power, which is another bit of overlap. For the party composition this does not bode well. Artificers work really solid with fighters, especially tempest fighters. You'll have an easy enough time multi-marking out of the gate. You also end up with good initiative, which is important for a defender. If you have to have your stats line up just right, you don't have a lot of racial options, half-orc is pretty much it (though it is a very good option), but if you're a little more flexible, longtooth shifter, human, warforged, drow, elf, wilden, revenant, and the essentials halfling all make reasonably good candidates.
