[QUOTE="charlesatan, post: 3395855, member: 20870"] There is one thing mitigating Abjurant Champion from the non warrior-mages (gish!) out there: qualifying for it. For a Gish, qualifying for Abjurant Champion can be done in six levels. For a straight Wizard, however, you'd need at least ten levels to meet the BAB +5 prerequisites. And the fact that it is just 5 levels and not 10 partially makes it okay. Spellcasters wanting better hp and base attack without sacrificing spellcasting are better off with the Sacred Exorcist prestige class. They get turning to boot. There's two (three) spells that give an armor bonus yet belongs to the Abjuration school: Ectoplasmic Armor (Spell Compedium, applies only to incorporeal touch attacks), and Luminous/Greater Luminous Armor (Book of Exalted Deeds, Sanctified Spell, sacrificing 1d2/1d3 Str). P.S. My problem with the 1 prestige class ruling is that there are some prestige classes which are really meant to be dips (as in the flavor dictates it and it's not the munchkin player). Prestige classes such as the Exotic Weapon Master (Complete Warrior) or the Stoneblessed (not exactly a dip but it's just 3 levels and you can take it before you hit 5th-level) or even the Racial Paragon classes.
