In my Saturdays game, I'm playing a Grey Elf Wizard 3 / Master Specialist 2 (was 3, but I was temporarily dead. I got better). INT is 20, and Dex is 18, and he's an Abjurer (barred: Evocation, Necromancy).
My initial plan was to take him Wiz 3 / Master Specialist 3 / Duskblade 1 / Spellsword 1 / Abjurant Champion 2 / Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil 7 / Archmage 3, but since dying I've found I'm more about the party than simple blasting.
I'm thinking about going Wiz3 / MS3 / War Weaver 4 / Iot7FV 7 / Archmage 3 now (I still need the third level of Master Specialist for the Greater Spell Focus, and any way I need 6th level to take enlarge spell or combat casting (though my DM has replaced it with Skill Focus: Concentration) for whichever PrC I head into after that.
As to why Duskblade, well, I needed an extra BAB for Abjurant Champion - spellsword gets it for me and includes a caster level, but I need prof with all armors and all martial weapons to use it. Duskblade at least gets me some extra utility spells per day (like detect magic) over fighter's bonus feat.
So which path do you recommend, forumites? What am I doing wrong as far as making a defense-based, orb-wielding not-really-Batman?
(And if I go the War Weaver path, can I weave wards from Iot7FV into my weave, providing the spell equiv is the right level?)
