Just toying with some build ideas for combining Spelldancer with the Swiftblade for some gishing fun. Likely this is not any new concept/combo but any ideas for improvements are welcome.
Of course the idea behind this build is to have fun with Spelldancing and Persistent spell. For now I'm trying to keep the build to the realm of the living.
I'm also going to be posting other Swiftblade build ideas here as well.

Is there a better way to nab Perform as a class skill than Human Paragon. I really don't want to loose the CL but it won't ruin this build. I would also prefer not to have to spend 12 skill points cross class on dancing.
Those are a couple ideas so far that should be decent from start to finish if playing from 1st level I think. There are several open feats that can be used to optimize in different directions and of course forms of Specialization are also a very good option most likely.
Possible ACFs
Focused Specialist (for extra spells particularly to fuel Arcane Strike) - I'm partial to Diviner for this.
Immediate Magic - Particularly Abrupt Jaunt
Open Feat Candidates
Knowledge Devotion
Minor Shapeshift [reserve]
Arcane Strike
Apprentice (DMGII) to avoid CrossClassing Perform if not doing Human Paragon
EWP: Elven Court Blade? Spiked Chain?
Power Attack
Leap Attack
Improved Bull rush
Shock Trooper
Other PRCs of interest
Abjurant Champion- Why not, we've had to take the Prereq for Spelldancer.
Master Specialist - Some minor abilities and free feats (take only if want to burn Open feats on Spell Focus)
- If interested in Archmage this is also decent
Desirable Gear & Magic
Upcoming
FeyCraft....
Mithril Twilight Chain shirt
Gloves of Balanced Hand
Any other good tweeks, suggestions, or even better directions to this/these builds?
