[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 5835571, member: 779"] Swords/Daggers have quite a lot of magical symbolism associated with them, but it's generally more in the terms of a sword as an "implement". Taking the game history into account, I think that fighter/wizard has been one of the most popular multiclass combos. However those other classes popped up when that sort of combo became a weak class combo starting from 3e. But of those classes I'm most in favour of the Swordmage and 4e Essentials Hexblade. They have their flavour and archetypes, and were certainly the best designed out of all of those. The Swordmage certainly deserves to be a unique class, as I don't see the wizard or sorcerer having much in the way of elemental melee spells and short range teleports. While it's possible the Monk may have some of that magical melee niche, I feel there's a lot of room for it to be separate from other such magical melee classes. The Hexblade, probably does deserve to be a Warlock subclass like it is in essentials. They have some of the same background story, so why not. [/QUOTE]
