Min/Max 3.x / Re: What is a good Arcane Warrior (not Duskblade)
« on: July 05, 2014, 03:51:50 AM »
I know this thread is kind old lol, but i have a build interesting for gish purposes (not exactly a champion of optimization, but good enough and gishy enough):
Dwarf
Level 1 - Any Full BAB Class that makes your character proficient with all weapons and armors needed to qualify for Spellsword;
Level 2 to 7 - Wizard 1 to 6;
Level 8 to 12 - Spellsword 1 to 5;
Level 13 to 14 - Runesmith 1 to 2;
Level 15 to 19 - Abjurant Champion 1 to 5;
Level 20 - Dragonslayer 1;
Your gish end up with BAB +16 (minimum to have 4 attacks), casting and knowing spells as Wizard 17 (minimum to have 9th level spells), the possibility to cast in heavy armors due to Rune Cast that ignores Somatic, and the ability to cast any spell through your weapon.
Of course the order of taking levels can be changed (like starting with Wizard, and after those 6 levels you can take Crusader or Warblade 1 to get some Maneuvers, in this case you could even switch Spellsword for Jade Phoenix Mage, but i like the ability to channel any spell through your weapon, anyway with JPM you'll cast and know spells as Wiz 18).
