PDK melee sorc build,.. looking for advice

[Protasious]

this will be a second life character, first life is cleric. tomes used so far are +3 str, +2 con, +2 int, +2 wis, +3 char...

the goal is a strong melee build using charisma for attack and damage as well as saves. planning on taking umd as a cross class skill.

so far this is what i've come up with and would like some critique

level 1: PDK fighter
14 str
10 dex
14 con
12 int
8 wis
18 char

skills:
2 spellcraft
2 umd
2 concentration
4 jump

feats:
force of personality
power attack (fight bonus feat)
cleave (human bonus feat)

level 2 & 3: sorc increasing umd spellcraft & concentration
level 3 feat: two handed fighting

level 4: pali
ability increase: char
feat: favored of amaunator... (wont effect build at all since pdk only has amaunator)

level 5: pali

level 6 - 11: sorc
level 6 feat: great cleave
level 8 ability increase: char
level 9 feat: extend spell

level 12: fighter
ability increase: char
feat: weapon focus slashing
fighter bonus feat: improved critical slashing

level 13 - 20 sorc
ability increases: char
feat (15): improved 2 handed fighting
feat (18): greater 2 handed fighting


anyways i know this isn't totally detailed, just looking for some feedback on this build, any thoughts concerns or suggestions would be appreciated.

it reminds me a lot of the old Tukaw builds that were 2 paladin for saves, 2 monk or rogue for evasion and either feats or trap skills, and the rest sorc for buff spells and utility and such.

What are you getting out of the fighter levels? Or is it just a case that you don't want to bother with LRing out of it due to PDK starting as fighter?

I'm not convinced PDK EK is a good idea; but if you're set on it, I would drop the THF feats for some metas. I would also dump DEX for more INT so you can max Heal skill and Twist in Rejuv Cocoon for some self-healing. Normally I'd suggest Twisting in Bane of Undeath to use Div Might as well, but since you're CHA-based that's not helpful.

For some reason this made me think of a Pale master PDK.... o_0

the account this is on does not have access to monk and only has pdk becuase he picked up the 2nd expansion @ 50% for the black Friday sale. so yeah fighter because we don't want to LR out of it, PDK to be able to apply char to attack and damage (x2 char to damage 2min out of every 5). could maybe go more fighter. but would mean less spells.

2 pali 4 fighter 14 sorc. would have a few more hp and another feat.
