So still waiting on DM approval for using this homebrew class/base race but have already worked out a build I would like to use for a force golem gish, using a homebrewed version of the race I found on brilliant gameologists. so anyway here goes in the order they are listed up to level 20:

2 Racial hit die
1 Sorcerer
2 Racial hit die
1 Battle Dancer
1 Sorcerer
1 Dragon Slayer
5 Abjurant Champion
1 Spell Sword
6 Eldritch Knight

This build gives me 18 BAB and 14th level casting. Before Dragon Slayer I will have to pick up dodge and iron will as prereq feats, and before abjurant champion I need to pick up combat casting, but other than that the prestige classes pretty much take care of the later prestige classes requirements.

Note: the racial hit die give me no weapons/armor proficiencies other than being proficient with my natural slam attacks.

http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=9557.340 link to the page with the Force Golem Homebrew class for reference, I will be choosing to boost Charisma over Int.

Is their anything I could do differently class wise to improve this build?

That really looks it would leave you with allmost no HP, and make you easy pray to the first bruiser you get into melee combat with.

I would seriously considder going psion instead of sorcerer, for among other things the chance to buff yourself with Vigor.

racials, abjurant champion, and dragon slayer are d10s, spellsword and battle dancer are d8s, eldritch knight is d6. I have no con score, but I gain 30 health just for being a large construct, in addition the class gives a bonus on health for each hit die based on the number of hit die, so basically every 5 levels I believe I effectively get a +2 to con as far as hit dice are concerned, and I will probably take improved toughness as my fighter bonus feat I get from eldritch knight. Not to mention I will have dr/adamatine = to 1/2 my hit dice.

My ac will also be fairly high as I get my str bonus to natural armor, and my charisma bonus to a deflection bonus and then again as a monk like bonus from battle dancer. I also plan to use mage armor and shield spells. This guy is going to definently be a front line kinda of guy.
