[QUOTE="half-dragon dragon, post: 4927074, member: 51211"] I would say that covers the basics pretty well for me. To to me there are a few different types of warrior mages, with two common ones being the person who fights with a weapon in one hand and magic in the other and the warrior who uses magic to enhance their fighting prowess. Personally I prefer the latter, and I would say an arcane full BAB half BMB falls into that same category. So yeah, I agree that the very basics of such a class would be the ability to channel spells through their weapon, the ability to put up self buffs as a swift action and the ability to wear armor (any kind) while casting spells.

The only other ability at the moment that I feel is somewhat essential is the ability to temporarily enchant a weapon.
