Gish

[Tor the Fallen]

I'm trying to build a gish, playable from level 1.
I'm thinking fighter2/wiz4/spellsword1/eldritch knightX, with the first three levels alternating ftr-wiz-ftr.

stats are 15, 15, 15, 15, 14, 22.
After age/race (dwarf) they are:
14
14
16
23
15
14

The character would be a gruff and well read dwarf, with an interest in magic. His fighting style would be mainly defensive, and when he used spells, they'd be simply to increase his effectiveness in combat/deal damage.

I was looking at the shield specialization/shield ward feats, but I'm really at a loss of what feats to take. I thought spiked chain + trip, but that doesn't really go with how I imagined the character.

An archivist work better, as I could cast in armor, and get even *more* skill points. Better HD, too. I don't really like the flavor, but if there's a full divine casting/full BAB prc class out there that has the appropriate flavor, that'd be cool.

Available Books: PHB, DMG, The Complete series, The Races Of series (classes and feats only, none of the non-standard races), BoED, possibly others with specific permission from DM. NO PSIONICS.
Alignment: Good or Neutral

Anyway;
Is there any way to make a good sword+board caster that isn't a cleric?
