Duskblade muticlass gish Build

[Nosta]

I want a gish that can arcane channel some really nasty touch spells
like shivering touch. what would be a good build for this

[Doctor Awkward]

My Group of Friends all think multiclass/Gestalt Duskblades can not channel spells from there other list. and I know I've see plenty of builds on here that rely just on that.


so I'd like to know if you really can and if so,were can I prove this to my Group of fellow players/DMs

Arcane Channeling says "any touch spell you know", not "any touch spell from the duskblade spell list."

If you have levels in a spellcasting class, then any spells in your spellbook or that you have selected as a spell known are spells you know.

ok that's what I though.

Another option is supplementing your spells known by use of something like the Drake Helm (lets you take from other spell lists).
Get a greatsword and pick up a Triple Weapon Capsule Retainer (Complete Adventurer), Hilt Hollow, Wand Chamber and Oil Chamber (all Dungeonscape). I'd make it a +1 and attach a Weapon Augment Crystal (Magic Item Compendium) of Witchlight Reservoir/Energy Assault: Cold if you want more burst damage.

Also scrolls count as you casting the spell, so if you can get UMD or dip a few levels for Binder (bind Karsus) then conceivably you'd be able to channel that.


Edit: Oh, this thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?522377-Wraith-Strike-on-Duskblade-without-BAB-loss) points out some options available to you. There's a rules argument about scrying somewhere deeper in the thread, so be careful where you tread.

Duskblade 3/Anything full-casting 17 works just fine. Or Ur-Priest; Ur-Priest is certainly the most potent option, as it so often is. Duskblade 13/Ur-Priest 7 is pretty fierce; 18 BAB, full channeling, and 4th level arcane and 7th level divine spells.
