01-27-06, 08:37 PM If you want a mechanical build for that, that's pretty much what the character optimization (http://boards1.wizards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=21) boards are for. There's a long thread (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=307309) devoted to "gishes," fighter-mage builds.

If you want a character backgrounds for why someone would do both, well, I'll need a bit more background.

I like the combination of Fighter with classes like Sorcerer or Warlock. You can start somebody off as an unwilling Fighter (drafted into an army) who then begins to develop strange powers. These powers enable him to do do cool things and you can decide if he loves he power or fears it.

With a Wizard or Wu Jen the issue is that the class presupposes a love of learning. Here you have the secret rebel -- the character who becomes a warrior for cultural or family or situational reasons but secretly wants to be somethign different . . .

These approaches assume fighter first.
