Final progression: Wizard 6 / Fighter 1 / Spellsword 1 / Abjurant Champion 5 / Eldritch Knight 7
Highlights
At level 20...
- 17 BAB
- 18 Caster Level
- Level 9 spells
Tactics
- Buff up (Haste, Shield, etc)
- Charge (Wraithstrike)
- Full Attack (Combat Brute + Wraithstrike)
- Exploit your buffs to deal with any kind of enemy you face, especially the combination of Wraithstrike and Power Attack
Further Optimization
- Spiritual Weapon with Intelligence will reduce MAD
- Greater Luminous Armor (BoED) to get incredibly high armor
- If you specialize as a Conjurer, the Immediate Magic variant (PHB2) will let you easily escape from negative effects and attacks a number of times per day
Limitations
- Getting debuffed will ruin your day
- Running out of spells
DM Counters
- Dispel buffs
- Target that low Reflex save
Variants
- For a spontaneous caster, replace the levels of Wizard with Sorcerer, or even Batle Sorcerer
- The level of Fighter can be switched for any class that grants proficiency with all simple and martial weapons, and all armor
- Levels in Eldritch Knight can be replaced with those in Knight Phantom
- Most of the feats are optional, and can be substituted for whatever the player wants
