I think the duskblade myself.

Ftr 7/Mu 11/ Elf from 1e. :)

I've never played a Duskblade but I thought the Hexblade was a lot of fun.

Multiclass Swashbuckler/Sorcerer, or maybe the Battle Sorcerer from UnA with the Battle Caster feat and mithral full plate.

Is it pretty elegant?

What's the crunch to fluff ratio?

I hate that word fluff. Please don't use it in my thread.

Says the elegant gish....did you post a preferred term?

Gishes are OK. I prefer frumbaggy guzzworglers though.
I find them to be more snugglykins puffybaggers than your average run of the mill piggly gulpers.

Brump.

this is fluff.

It comes in strawberry too!!!!!! Hold on to your crust, Nilla Waffers!

You are soooooo full of fail.

I was thinking... sumptuous.

Sword'n'board type sumptness?

Failure never tasted so flnffy...

Flnffy. that'll work. It's a good woody word.

d10 HD, full BAB, full spellcasting, automatic quickened spells, automatic extended spells, improved caster level, improved AC, and a bunch of other abilities besides.

And the prerequisites are easier than the ones for Eldritch Knight.

About the only thing they don't get is full clerical turning and sneak attack progression. Or anchovies.

Danged Bloody Norweges trying to make all our words woody all the time, give me a good tinny word any day of the week.

I'll make a joke about something I just said again!

You're still bitter about the "one anchovy per slice" Papa John's fiasco, aren't you? ;)

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot.

The best "gish" class is the one who can recite all of the lyrics from the Smashing Pumpkins album of the same name.

Sorry, every time I hear the term "gish", I think of that album or Lilian...

I really prefer the duskblade. I know the flavour text says 'elves' but all the doom and gloom spells, it really says 'githyanki'.

I have a watered-down gith race in my homebrew campaign world, and their favoured classes are monk or duskblade ...

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot.

Hey HD, I'd already called a soundtrack for this thread...

personally I hate gish classes, the hexblade and spellthiefs were the only ones I liked and that was because they felt more like the paladin and ranger rather than a gish, i.e. their own class with thier own unique abilities, that just got some weaker versions of other class abilities tacked on.

Unless you consider the paladin a Gish, in that case, the paladin is my favorite Gish.

I'll make a joke about something I just said again!

I'm not going to sit for this sockpuppetry in my thread. I know that's you, The Authority.

Rubber Soul? Really? :)

That's right!!!

Yep. What did you expect from a Greenman?

It's my thread, and I don't even know what that is. So I ain't havin it for the soundtrack. It might be too tinny for all I know.

Norwegian Wood, by definition, is not tinny.

Now let's yammer on about chaotic neutral, since I'm the only one who truly understands it.

Norwegian Wood, by definition, is not tinny.

Except for that Ironwood where that Iron Witch was.

This has been demonstrated. [Takes up position of auditor.]
EDIT: Wouldn't that be irony, not tinny?

Norwegian Wood, by definition, is not tinny.

No but it is by definition aweful

Auditor. Audit...audi*t*errrrr...no, too tinny.

You need to be up more on your Norse Mythology flnff.

That's like needing to be more up on your horse porn

There is that CA feat you can take to get a familiar as long as you are a spellcaster.

So you can get an anchovi.*

[Whew] For a minute there, I thought you said awful.

Abjurant Champion,

Can you get into that from Duskblade? Perhaps Duskblade 4 or 5 with a level of Battle Sorcerer? 'Cause that might be hawt.

Best core 'gish,' straight Cleric or Druid.

For worst core 'gish' I'd say, Bard.
