[QUOTE="Feldspar, post: 2483207, member: 20450"] The build I'm hopting to run one day has a slightly different lead in than Thanee. I go with two levels of Wizard and one of Fighter with the race being Half-Elf (need the favored class to be Any). If you want the remaining four levels to be in a half caster class (my build includes 4 levels of Spellsword), the second level of Wizard is critical as it gets you 5th level spells. This is my half-elf Bladesinger-Spellsword build:[code] L Class BAB CL goodies 1 Swa 1 1 0 Weapon Finesse, Weapon Focus: Rapier 2 Wiz 1 1 1 1st lvl spells, Scribe Scroll 3 Swa 2 2 1 Dodge, Grace +1 4 Swa 3 3 1 Insightful Strike 5 Ftr 1 4 1 Combat Expertise 6 Wiz 2 5 2 Combat Casting 7 Bds 1 6 3 2nd lvl spells, Bladesong style, 8 Sps 1 7 4 -10% ASF 9 Sps 2 8 4 Practiced Spellcaster, Improved Critical: Rapier 10 Sps 3 9 5 3rd lvl spells, -15% ASF 11 Sps 4 10 5 Channel spell 3/day 12 Bds 2 11 5 Lesser Spellsong, Arcane Strike 13 Bds 3 12 6 14 Bds 4 13 6 Song of Celerity (2nd) 15 Bds 5 14 7 4th lvl spells, Feat 16 Bds 6 15 7 Greater Spellsong 17 Bds 7 16 8 18 Bds 8 17 8 Song of Celerity (4th), Feat 19 Bds 9 18 9 5th lvl spells 20 Bds 10 19 9 Song of Fury[/code]BAB 19, 5th lvl spells, F/R/W - 12/10*/15 (* includes Grace). The two d4's are balanced by the 4 d10's which means the average hit die of the class through all 20 levels is a d8. Not too shabby. At 11th level you can be wearing a Mithril Breastplate with 0% ASF and channeling 3 spells a day. I also like the way the bonus feat from Spellsword 2 combines with your usual feat at level 9 to boost combat and magic. Even the two "dead levels" at least have an increase in caster level. [/QUOTE]
