Flurry of Blows
Unarmed Strike
Evasion
Grace +1
Insightful Strike
Bladesong Style
Lesser Spellsong
Song of Celerity (4th)
Greater Spellsong
Song of Fury
+5 Caster Level
Corellon’s Blessing
Elegant Strike

Base Attack 18. Caster level 6 (all he needs are a few low level buffs). Full Int to AC thanks to Monk with Kung Fu Genius. Up to 10 more Int to AC from Bladesinger. Int to damage from Swashbuckler 3. Dex to damage from Champion of Corellon 2. Doesn't wear armor, but doesn't really need it. He has a base AC of 23 before stat boosting and protective items. You could be sleeping naked and have nothing but your sword and still have AC 23. Just don't get caught flat-footed. At higher levels he can TWF with his sword and Monk unarmed strikes. Boost Int as much as possible since it counts twice on your AC.

Exoticist is a Fighter variant from Dragon Magazine #310. It gives you four Exotic Weapon Proficiencies, which helps you qualify for Champion of Corellon. Kung Fu Genius is from Dragon Magazine #319.

08-24-05, 04:30 AM How about Half-Elf Swashbuckler 3/Wizard 2/Fighter 1/Spell Sword 4/Bladesinger 10.

You'll get a BAB of 19, average d8 hp's per level and have 5th level spells.
