I am debating whether to take my character Eldritch Knight mostly to give me some more versatility and fun. I am stuck with some of the choices I have made so far, so I know this won't be the most optimal. I am currently seventh level, and can retrain one feat at 8th level. Especially since my focus has been on summoning so far.
Gnome Wizard7: S(10), Dex(14), Con(16), Int (18), Wis(13), Cha(11).
Feats: Spell Focus (Conjuration), Augment Summoning, Superior Summoning (probably what I would retrain at 8th level because I will already be one spell level behind the curve on summoning), Craft Wonderous Item, Academy Graduate (from CotC lets me summon as a standard action), and Greater Spell Focus Conjuration (another one I regret if I go Eldritch Knight).
My gear is basically from scratch with around 10k, plus I have a ring of evasion.
I don't mind losing some power for fun and versatility, but not sure I can salvage a worthwhile EK out of this. I like Ranger because it ups my reflex saves (making evasion more useful), though Fighter and Urban Barbarian also look useful.
How would you build this? What would you focus on? What would you use for armor?
P.S. All this may become moot when the Hellknight signifier prestige class (an armored spellcaster) comes out on Aug. 16, which is before my next session.
