Hey all,

Just looking for some advice - how would you get binder and DFA into one build (short of gestalt) and use them effectively? I am intrigues by both classes, and would love to play a character who is a little bit of both. Also, both run off CHA and CON to a degree.

Anima Mage would advance DFA breath weapon & invocations, but would require a casting dip to get into. Would DFA X/Duskblade 1/Binder X/Anima Mage 10/Uncanny Trickster 3 be a usable build? (Using early an entry trick to get 2nd level spells for Duskblade).

Any other ideas? this is just a thought exercise, not for a particualr game (so no "check with the DM" type suggestions please. Also, no homebrew if possible.

Cheers - T
