[3.5] Gish knight

[Bloodymango]

Hello there I’m currently in a campaign right now, but we will be starting a new one soon and i was looking for some advice on my next character.
Race: helbread -2int +2con (Dm’s exception) only phb races allowed
Class: knight
AB’s
16 str
10dex
14con
6 int
8 wis
16 cha
I was thinking I would make him a gish, after 4th level in knight. Then I will go sorcerer and spellsword. I’m not sure if I want to go the full progression for spell sword. I was looking at blood magus. They seem to be an up close and personal type of caster. Any way I was looking for some help on feats, or if you know any other good combinations for a gish with knight and sorcerer combo. Plz no tome of battle. All other books to my knowledge are open. Feel free to post your questions

As a first note, you may want to report your own post (click the triangle thing in the bottom-left corner) and request that the thread be moved to the D&D 3.5 subforum instead of homebrew.

• How attached are you to Knight? There are plenty of ways to make the class work, but a gish is not one of them, since you lose 4 levels of casting progression.
• Take one and only one level of Spellsword. You get all of the useful stuff from the class at level 1.
• Abjurant Champion, from Complete Mage, can be slapped on any gish build to good effect. I'd give it a look.
• Did you roll for those stats, or did you use a 26 Point Buy? Gishes tend to be able to put less focus on Strength, and you get a whopping 2 skill points per level unless you get your Intelligence up.
• The lack of ToB is a shame, lest I would suggest Jade Phoenix Mage.
• Another big gish class out there is the Swiftblade. I'm just going to take a second to ask again how attached you are to Knight. Swiftblade gives up 4 caster levels. The entirety of its class features is considered a roughly equal trade for those lost levels. Does Knight 4 give you anything even remotely comparable to that?
• Check out X Stat to Y Bonus to get your main casting stat added to as many things as possible.
