[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 56143, member: 1134"] I think it is balanced perfectly fine. That spell channel ability doesn't suck, think 3 1st level spells, think MM, think getting beat down with a sword and getting nailed with 3 mm in one round, I'd say ouch. Is it the end all and be all of special abilities, no, but it can brutalize one big foe. The spell progression is pretty good, with a wizard/fighter 1 or 2, and then spellsowrd you could end up with 8th level spells, and that doesn't suck. The +7 to bab can get the fighter/wizard into the above +10 bab so 3 attacks a round, and close to the clerics fighting ability, but with martial weapons. And think how brutal this guy can be after a tensers transformation. (get a metamagic rod of maximize to really make it gross) The player will not be as good at magic as a fighter 1 or two rest wizard, but he shouldn't be since he actually can fight at even high levels with the spellsword, so spells aren't needed as much. And casting with armor and a 16 dex, think about mithral, especially mithral full plate. Sure its expensive, but witha fabricate spell you can bust one out with relative ease if you have the craft skill. And it allows a 16 dex, and it lowers the arcane failure % enough to enough for the spellsword to handle it, add in a large shield agai mithral, and this guys AC will be nasty. Add in some good buffing spells and he will be fighting side by side with the fighter and still have some nice offensive and defensive and utility spells to sling around. [/QUOTE]
