would or wouldn't you allow this?

yes, I'd call it a one hit wonder.

Are you asking "Is this legal?" or "As a DM, would you disallow this?" or both?

It is certainly legal. And yes, I'd allow it. As a matter of fact, I have an NPC blackguard/Nar Demonbinder who uses Arcane Strike, Smite Good, Divine Might, Power Attack, and a Spellstoring weapon. Woe to the PCs if they ever fight him.

You think? What's so good about it? It beats spell resistance, and doesn't require components, but I tend to think that the spell slot could probably have been put to better use...even if I'm just looking at damage dice per spell level.

But perhaps I'm missing something? It looks cool, at least.

Here's a real whopper for your spellsword.

Whirling Blade+Channel Spell+Arcane Strike. Have the character buffed with a Draconic Might spell and get a Wu Jen to cast Giant Growth on you. ;)

Okay, that's a bit over the top and probably not all legal.

Your stuff sure sounds legal though. Actually upon further investigation...the whirling blade part seems legal too. :)

You can also toss around "Hideous Blow" for a Warlock. That.... does a lot of damage...
