The State that invented Spam!

Ok, I'm working on a Character I want to use in a Power Campaign and Min/Maxing is encouraged, so... Currently this is what I was thinking.

The Dice System they Use is rediculous but I won't complain.

Human
Level: 4
Stats:
STR: 18
DEX: 18
CON: 18
INT: 18
WIS: 18
CHA: 17
Fighter (Need the Feats)
and Rogue
Need Skills

Feat Foci
Power Attack
Exotic Weapon Prof (Wallblade)
Weapon  Focus Wallbalde

Any ideas?

Style:
2 Brothers
(I'm the Brain of the Operation)
I have an even scarier brother fighting for me half the time

hard to say. I don't know how you can do anything with such low stats.

Yeah, only 5 18's? I'm disappointed.

Anyways, first question is why do you need the skills? What were you aiming for that needed them?

Hmmm.. did you remember to add your +1 stat from being level 4 because only 5 18's is kinda low and by addiing +1 to Cha would make your stats not as sad.

That's for sure. 5 18s is certainly subpar.

For ultimate cheesiness go Duskblade/Eldritch KnightX. Fighter BAB and spells in full plate

Ah, the beauty of the gish. They need to make a fig in some future expansion...the Gish-yanki.

Back on track. Do you feel Eldritch Knight a better choice than Spellsword? I don't have the books in front of me and I'm more interested in the reasoning behind the choice than speaking from knowledge that one is better than the other as I usually don't like to play mix martial/caster classes.

There's actually no need to combo duskblade with eldritch knight (or spellsword) at all, IMO. All the eldritch knight would do is offer you near-full duskblade progression, which... you already get from duskblade. So I'm not sure what the attraction is there.

Good point, I'll have to look at it more. Do you think Duskblade just totally eliminates the need for those Pclasses?

Only from the standpoint that you wouldn't use it with a duskblade. They're still useful/valid choices for a fighter/wizard, for example. The duskblade spell list is quite limited compared to the sorc/wiz list, so you might go for a different build to get the more robust spell list, or for the bonus feat action, etc.

The other guy only has a 17 Int?

Well, I've made PC's like this before (Though not with stats like that). Since skills are important to you take "Able Learner" from Races of Destiny at first level - cross class skills will only cost one skillpoint instead of two.

The goal would be to make him a Bladedancer at 10th level

1- Rogue1 (exotic weapon prof, Able Learner)
2- Fighter1 (Weapon Focus)
3- Fighter2 (Expeditious Dodge, Mobility)
4- Duskblade1
5- Swashbuckler1
6- Swashbuckler2 (combat expertise)
7- Swashbuckler3 (Insightful strike free)
8- Dervish1
9- Dervish2 (whatever)
10- Dervish3 (spring attack free)
11- Bladedancer1

So at 11th level you would have a BA of 10, good (but not great) skills, a base movement of 85, +10 to jump-tumble-balance (and take 10 on jump and tumble), be able to dervish dance twice a day, do a stupid amount of damage on a regular basis and cast a few low level spells.

What do you want to do? Alignment / book / class / whatever restrictions?
