Battle sorcerer has what at level 3?
Good point. Still have to wait until level 6 for 2nd level spells that way though. With straight Battle Sorcerer, I'd have 2nd level spells at level 4.
I suppose I should clarify that I'll be the party's primary caster. If I do the Battle Sorcerer, I'd be primary caster/secondary melee.
Paladin 2/Battle Sorcerer 13/Abjurant Champion 5
BAB +16, 18th caster level, better weapons, +cha to saves. You can wear mithril fullplate with the Battle Caster feat.
Found this in another thread, a simpler form of your proposed Sorcadin, Solo.
Thematically, the Paladin levels do fit, since this character would be devoted to Bahamut. And I liked your dip into Spellsword. How does Paladin 2/Battle Sorcerer 4/Spellsword 1/Abjurant Champion 5/... sound?
Also, a 3rd level of Paladin is kind of attractive, even though I'd be losing another caster level, possibly taken around level 13 (after Abjurant Champion), the Aura of Courage would be helpful when taking on something like a Dragon.
