[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 2908742, member: 5889"] At 1st glance, the duskblade seems a bit overpowered to me. Full BAB, 2 good saves, and with the ability to cast spells like quickened true strike 1/day can allow it to deliver extraordinary damage when needed (10th level PA with 2 handed weapon = +20 to damage and +10 to attack). I think the duskblade isn't so redundant as its an evolution. The fighter/mage concept is one a lot of people want, but I think many feel has never been accomplished. Fighter/wizard multiclass certainly doesn't get it done, and others feels Prcs like the spellsword don't provide the right stuff either. I do appreciate that WOTC is continuing to try new things. Now they are trying a base class with full BAB and caster level but trying to limit the abilities and spells to balance it out. With playtesting, we'll see if they succeeded. But no matter my initial impressions of the class, I like that WOTC continues to look at the problem from different angles, and perhaps somewhere along the way they will find an answer the majority of people are happy with.
