Talk:Eldritch knight

Is there any reason for a Sorcerer to NOT take 10 levels of Eldritch Knight? You gain Combat Casting (and Skill Focus Concentration) for free in exchange for taking WP Martial earlier (unless multiclassing to get that already), double BAB progression, same skill points, +2 HP per level, and trade Will save high for Fortitude save high. The only thing you lose is one effective caster level and maybe some improvements to your familiar. You'll still get 9th level spells.

I'd think Sorcerer 9 / Fighter 1 / Eldtrich Knight 10 is a pretty good combat-oriented caster. Put high stats into CHA, DEX, and CON, you'll have an effective caster level of 18, a BAB of 16 for four attacks per round when you're not slinging spells, and decent Will and Fortitude saves. - Faldred 09:29, 14 November 2006 (PST)
