I don't get a free 15k... I get 15k worth of AN item. So I wouldn't get 50gp. I have that in addition to my normal wealth. For a divine duskblade, your suggesting that a club is the best weapon I could have? How? Bastard swords have better everything? I have full martial proficiency...

As a point of clarity, ghost ward allows you to add the enhancement bonus of the armor or shield to touch AC.  So, if you're wearing ghost ward thaalud stone armor with a +3 enhancement bonus from magic vestment, you add the +3 enhancement bonus to touch AC, not the full +15 armor bonus.

If you're using them as a martial weapon, why not just use a Greatsword, which is better in every way?  Or better yet, something with reach?

Really?  Ah well, in that case it's probably better being Full Plate, then so he can apply his +1 Dex to his AC.

Also, as an Exotic weapon it's just terrible.  A feat for +1 damage per swing relative to a Longsword, or that and an extra number on the threat range for a Morningstar.  In either case, not enough to even really matter in even a low-op game, nevermind a high-op game where you're a full-casting cleric.

I was trying to get a sword and board theme going on. That and I have 12 extra feats. Well, more like 8 after the basic improving saves and init.

But using a dwarven warpike or a greatsword is an option.

Im going with TSA and getting the three feats to allow me to add the AC to my touch, as its just to good to pass up, and being psionic fits with my fluff.

Just a note Aragorn, that the Spellblade enchantment has already been ruled in the campaign that it only makes you immune to spells that have SR. A Spellblade weapon does nothing against a Solid Fog or a Dispel Magic. ;)

Ah. Thanks, I didn't know that. So I guess Spellblade is out.
