[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 56890, member: 834"] I've run several sessions with a Spellsword and he was pretty good. The trick is to remember that a spellsword is a FIGHTER/wizard, not the other way around. Consider this: 8th fighter/ 4th wizard / 8th spell sword BAB: +16/+11/+6/+1 Cast spell as a 9th level wizard. You don't use these levels to cast fireball and cone of cold. You use them to cast spells like Haste, Stoneskin, Fireshield, Expeditious retreat, stat boosting spell etc. 6 bonus feat. Twice per day you can channel 5D4+5 (magic missile) through a normal attack. You can wear a mithril full plate without arcane failure. Or a standard breastplate. You can cache spell in your weapon. What more do you need? Stronger than that and it would be overpowered. I mean, compare this to the bladesinger PR class: one is fine, the other is banned by most DM because it's indecently strong.
