Wizard/Fighter(Battlemage) - good for anything ?

[Anvilar]

Thanks Phidius, and all others for answers. Now I think I will be able to make what I want, and, if it proves successful, I will post it on forum.
Also, RPing WF looks quite different from what I thought, and not hard. There are some similarities with real me. So I think I will give WF a try.

So thanks again for advices.

I'm currently experimenting with an elven fighter/wizard as well, but using the wizard spells to better augment the fighter's abilities. So far in the field, little can be said since I'm lvl 2 at the moment.

The stat build you put in the first post is pretty much something I tried. Using a strength-based fighter isn't all that good for this build, since that reduces dex bonus to armor, and heavy armor makes it near impossible to use the wizard part. I started thinking elven fighter instead; grace and dexterity instead of brute force. While limiting your choice of melee weapons you can be any good with, the dex-based build makes you a beast with ranged weapons. I plan to make my elf into an arcane archer/kensei specialized in longbow, hopefully to devestating effect.

My stats for this build are:
Str 8
Dex 19
Con 8
Int 18
Wis 8
Cha 8

The elven enhancement that reduces spell failure chance is certainly a must with this multiclass.

I am going half-orc 18wizard/2fighter pale master melee wizard (currently char level 16). Its pretty nice minus the death aura bug.

To be clear though the most powerful arcane is a 20 wiz archmage (And WF too IMO). Any melee wizard is just flavor build. That being said I don't see the point of 12 wizard. You will barely have enough mana to keep buffs up, let alone any offensive casting. I would recommended 18 wizard, as you will have an OK amount of mana, still be able to cast offensive spells like firewall, polar ray, dance, and wail to some degree.

In any quests where I can keep PA on and still hit OK my melee wizard tears stuff up. Pretty fun (again except for the death aura bug)

Good luck
