How would you folks create a character that was like the old school elf from classic D&D (basically an armor wielding fighter that could cast spells) using Pathfinder? Obviously the race would be elf. But what would you do for class? I know I could alternate levels between fighter and wizard but I kind of like the idea of both magic skills and fighting skills improving simultaneously. Anyone use some kind of hybrid rules? Maybe a Pathfinder conversion of the 3E Duskblade class? How would you keep it balanced. Old D&D limited elves to 10th level and they had to get more XP per level as a balancing factor. What would you prefer?

That's what the Eldritch Knight is for. In 3rd ed. it even had the prerequisite of "Race: Elf."

Pathfinder elves are 8 feet tall, so you might want to go gnome or something. ;)
