@Ardenup:
Complete Scoundrel, Arcane and adventurer.
Mmmmm....Kay.
That's actually a little harder. Ask for PHB2 and Complete Mage as well (your only really after feats, not Prcs)
Best Combo's are (caster focused) either Ftr1/Wiz6/EK10/Whatever
or Paladin1or2/Sorc6/EK10
Now, is spont casting is prefferred and extra Smite feat allowed(complete divine) take that as 1.You'll need spont buffs 2. Smite 3/day for Casting mod to attack/ac/by passing DR is freaking awesome.
Take Fey as your sorc bloodline (for auto +2 to compulsion enchantments and laughing touch which doesn't allow a save)
Feats could look like this (Human build focus on melee and SOD)
Pal1/Sorc6/Splswd1/Abj Champ1/EK10/Abj Champ2
Scores: Need at least 18 Cha to start and 17 Str. Put 3 in STR and Get CHA to 20. If you get better scores get dex next then con
Traits: Desperate Focus
You've often found yourself in situations where a lack of focus can lead to worse than a lost spell.
Benefit: You gain a +2 trait bonus on concentration checks.
Heirloom Weapon
You carry a weapon that has been passed down from generation to generation in your family.(Falchion)
Benefit: This heirloom weapon is of masterwork quality (but you pay only the standard cost at character creation). You gain a +1 trait bonus on attack rolls with this specific weapon and are considered proficient with that specific weapon (but not other weapons of that type) even if you do not have the required proficiencies.

19Slashing Flurry-PHB2
20
This build nets you 1 9th level spell, BAB17
Your attack at 20 is 17 +4(gtr wpn fcs+mastery) +5(enhancement)+ 3(belt of physical perfection) +5(str)- 5(PA) +1(trait)= 30/25/20/15
on the first attack round vs an opponent.
Combat intuition grants +1 to hit a previously attacked foe, so add +1 to all attacks or Big Game hunter is +1 to hit anything size large or bigger (get boots of speed for an extra attack.) and add +5 (or better with a CHA item) if smiting so +35. Or 25/20 on a Slashing Flurry standard attack(+30/+25 if smiting). Taking a Slashing Flurry full attack gives you 5 attacks (6 hasted) 25/25/20/15/10 Also Brilliant Blade will let you ignore Armor.
Pretty good. You can smite 3/day for a free action awesome buff, without using a single spell. And you're attack is pretty good reguardless.
Vs AC 33 you'll hit at least once or twice for 48per hit.
With smite up at least 2 times for 96.
Slashing flurry should only be attempted with smite up or/divine power. 5 attacks (30/30/25/20/15)-likely get 3 for 146. If using just haste and combat intuition you'll hit with 4 attacks- divine power could get them all.
EXAMPLE- rd1- cast swift shield and divine power (asses threat as a free action) AC is now 42 with extra hp, bab and damage- move to close. Rd2 swift blacklight and attack with slashing flurry with a to hit of 31/31/31/26/26/16 or 2attacks if must move.
The 2 extra attacks are from divine power and slashing flurry. Divine power added +6 to hit and damage.
So now when you move you do 96 damage.
A full attack nets at least 192 damage.
*NOTE: the above example has not used SMITE YET!!*
Armor: At low levels your armor class is poor. Use Arcane Armor Training and Shield until you can afford a mithral chain shirt (no AC penalty). At level 10 You can wear mithral Breast Plate with only 5% Arcane Spell Failure. Enchant this For a Final AC of:
10+ 5(dex plus belt) +6(Armor)+5(Enhancement)+5(Amulet of Natural Armor)+ 5(ring of protection)= 36 (41 with shield spell, 47 with smite as well.) and a 50% Miss Chance (quickend Blacklight). Wear +5 Greater Energy Resistance, SR19 Breastplate.

The following is an example of a build I'm using at it rocks hard.
Use Compulsions against whomever you can effect, smite team evil (3/day is enough so I don't have to cast ALL the time)
I showed above how to get into the action quickly.
With prep time Cast Giant form 2, Bite of the weretiger and Divine Power on yourself. Uses 3 high level spells but adds +14 to hit AND Damage above you normal Attack bonus with gear. About 4HP and 20 temp HP and plus 8 to AC.
