So, I've been toying with a character idea of a Wizard/Fighter gish, only instead of using a Fighter, instead take a Swashbuckler up to level 3 for Insightful Strike. The stats would be pretty much exactly the same as they would be for a wizard build, prioritize Intelligence, Constitution, and Dexterity.
What I'm curious about is if it's possible to get a decent BAB without losing any more spellcasting levels (and thus losing 9th level spells at level 20). I've heard about the Abjurant Knight and possibly a few others that might help, but I'm wondering if it's really possible.
Also, would it be a worthwhile build with the standard Eldritch Knight route and being four arcane caster levels behind for the adventure and never getting 9th level spells? Assuming the character is not the primary arcanist, of course.
