Dimension DoorI love this build.  It is my favorite single class fighter!Your fighter spell selections are really limited, so for me the trick is to play a Drow, get Drow High Magic and get more spells on feats.  Your offensive spells should be based on Charisma.  This helps two ways first at 12th level I have 9 leveled spells I can cast for free once a day plus Detect Magic at will (and being able to do it at will is a lot better than as a ritual).  Then I can use slots to cast those spells too, since they are known and the EK is a known spell caster and they are all on a charisma save DC.My Wizard/fighter spells provide stuff that does not need Intelligence (Shield, PEG, Silvery Barbs, Absorb Elements) plus some ribbon spells.levels 8-12 is where this really shines.   War Magic is online and is not yet outclassed by extra attack.  You have a good ranged attack with Eldritch Blast, which you can combine with a thrown weapon attack through Warmagic, your low level offensive spells are still potent.</blockquote>
