Versatility is the point of the build. I kind of like how it came together. Thoughts?

Sovereign Court

Not bad, why not use eldritch guardian fighter archetype, so you'll keep on stacking your familiar bonuses and top of it, at the end when you take the 2nd level of fighter, you'll get a +1 bonus to will save just because and also your familiar can use any combat feats that you possess.


The versatility of the universalist school isn't worth the loss of a spell slot every level.

A valid point, but I do not know if I want to give up two schools.

*You don't completely give them up, but not being able to focus on them hurts a bit


You won't be able to focus on boosting save DCs with an eldritch Knight, so Enchantment and Necromancy aren't worth it for you. Those are the logical opposition schools for a melee spellcaster. The handful of useful buffs available to you through Necromancy, e.g. False Life, can be handled by scroll or wand. Being able to boost your stats with Transmutation, to shift about with Conjuration (teleport), or to change the damage type of an evocation spell to a different energy type that your opponent isn't immune to with Evocation (admixture) are also well worth it.


I did change blind-fight to eschew materials (yes fighter do qualify for the feat).

Otherwise polymorphing loses value.

EDIT: Nvm, found a good item fix for that.
