[QUOTE="Feralborn Trading, post: 8566750, member: 7035248"] Fair enough. I admittedly have just started tinkering and theory crafting with A5e, but my gut reaction is that synergistic feat trees and multi-classing will not be a satisfactory solution to an all encompassing Gish type class. If this were the case it seems like the same could be said for Heralds (fighter/clerics). The Swordmage I was imagining is very similar to a Herald/Paladin but with an Arcane focus instead of Divine power ie. Spell Strikes instead of Divine Smite, Aegis type abilities as opposed to Auras, etc. A lot of this could likely be accomplished with reflavoring and minor tweaks but I will take some time to explore the other RAW options before jumping in head first to a shallow pool :) [/QUOTE]
