Saving throws can be bumped up by swapping out the Belt of Giant Strength (+4) for a Cloak of Resistance (+5). The attack rating is pretty good as it stands.By the endpoint of his career, the duelist will hardly use most of his spells -- items have replaced them. Still, if any/all of his items are lost, he has a very respectable AC. (At level 20, if he has his spellbook and two non-magical piercing weapons, his AC will be 54-55 depending on how good the Cat's Grace spell comes out.)At very low levels, mage armor and fighter hit dice make for a decent survivor. Then toss in shield for an unarmored fighter that can really avoid punishment.Move into Duelist at level 9 to really begin your career. By level 10, the fighter/wizard isn't doing too badly, though his hitpoints are still a bit low. Elaborate Parry, at character level 15, is where this character really comes into his own.Take the last wizard level at 19 to pick up haste and a form of short-term healing.</blockquote>
