[QUOTE="wyrdone, post: 5139374, member: 89165"] We just hit level 13 and I'm thinking about changing my Swordmage/Coronal Guard to a hybrid Swordmage/Wizard. I'm going for a shielding swordmage who has a few area/control powers to toss around. I took Enlarge Spell and Arcane Reach to make the most of my Close and Area spells. I'm not opposed to taking Coronal Guard again, the temp HP are nice (especially with the lower HP total the hybrid has) and I like the protection the level 11 encounter power offers. That being said I don't really know the wizard paragon paths, so if one of those would be good for this hybrid let me know. Here's what I've got so far. Items are unchangable: ====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ====== Hybrid SM-Wiz, level 13 Githyanki, Swordmage|Wizard Swordmage Aegis (Hybrid): Aegis of Shielding Hybrid Talent: Swordmage Warding FINAL ABILITY SCORES Str 9, Con 18, Dex 15, Int 22, Wis 13, Cha 11. STARTING ABILITY SCORES Str 8, Con 13, Dex 14, Int 17, Wis 12, Cha 10.
