For a campaing a friend is trying to start, I got approved Olecamo's awesome Rakasha Monster Class (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7956421&postcount=32) and well I want to see if anyone can give me some general advice on how to play one.

While Olescamo's comments alludes it to be a good arcane skill monkey I think it is much more suited for a gish (Good BAB, all good saves, decent HD) and coupled with the natural casting it makes a solid chasis for a gish, which is what I am trying to make.

Right now my plan is going Rakasha 10/Ab Champ5/Eldritch Knight 5 (or preferably another FULL BAB 10/10 casting PRG class) which gives me BAB 20 Sorcerer casting 17 (no 9th level spells though) and CL 20

We are going to start at level 1 and this is supposed to go up to 20th level but I don't know if we wll actually get to that point

Are there any important flaws on my game plan? does anybody have some advice for me?

Thanks in advance

Hmm, it has no armor, but does have all martial weapons.
Good base speed.
It can enter Warshaper Prc?
I agree, it isn't a bad Gish.

CHA as natural armor is good (plus when I take Abjurant champ levels even the lowly shield is a great deffense) and the bite let's me threaten even when wielding a reach weapon



Good base speed.

Battle jump maybe?



It can enter Warshaper Prc?

Does the change shape fits the pre-requisite?

Yep

Under the Warshaper prerequisites, it specifically includes the Raksasha's Change Shape ability.

You might want to take one level of Spellsword from CW for the 10% arcane spell failure, then take 4 levels in a mid bab full caster class. Will cost you one BAB though, but you allready have 4 attacks by then. Will get you 9th level spells that way.

What class do you suggest? sacred exorcist sounds like the best option but I am nor sure how I can explain that IG

Fatespinner from Complete Arcane would be my first choice, it has a poor bab, but that doesnt matter as much compared to the abilities it gives you. After all, what is a +2 attack bonus compared to the abilities it grants?

Unseen Seer from Complete Mage is another good choice, 3/4 bab, full caster progression and 6 skill points/level.

Take a one level dip into Dragon slayer if you need another point of bab

Problem is that you'd still lose 1 or 2 bab after taking the dragonslayer, and the spellsword is easier to enter. If you want 18/20 caster levels that is
