Build advice.

[Dairius_Chi]

Before I get started, I would like to note that I am not looking for anything that will drastically alter the build too much, and I already have rogue, barbarian, and 1 human paragon so there is no going back on that. I plan on using most of my spells on non-saves and buffs, so I only really need 16 cha to get all my casting.

I have an open feat slot near the end, and a couple feats that can be swapped out without much hassle...the biggest thing I am looking for is suggestions on spells known, which by 20th level I will have:

0th: 8
1st: 4
2nd: 4
3rd: 3
4th: 2
5th: 1
6th: 1

Swiftblade: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/prc/20070327
Requires BAB +3, Dodge/Mobility, Spellcraft/Concentration 6, All 3rd level spells previous level cast Haste, this is literally impossible NOT to do thanks to limiting spells known from sorc ACF.

You're obviously trying to optimize, and you're clearly overthinking this. Just looking at that build makes me completely uninterested in playing D&D. Level 20 build? Easy.

Cleric 20.

Battle Sorcerer 20 with Arcane Strike

Fighter 4/Rogue 16 or Fighter 4/Rogue 6/Assassin 10 with Telling Blow

Or if all you want is to be incredibly powerful...

Fighter/Barbarian/Frenzied Berserker.

You don't need to be Rogue 2/Human Paragon 3/Barbarian 2/Sorcerer 4/Swiftblade 9

So if you want optimization advice, hang your character and do any of the above. Take this from me, I used the Frenzied Berserker to all but solo a tarrasque at 12th level without abusing any loop holes using a perfectly legal build. I honestly wish I could say I can see what you're doing, but all I see is an overly complicated attempt at achieving nothing extraordinary.

I realize this isn't what you wanted, but hey, it's always the simplest things that work really well. And I mean really, really, really well. And you don't need to cheapen it with weapons like the scythe or the greataxe, either.

Not optimizing, going for a fun build that can handle traps, melee, and has some casting for the sake of it. I am taking Human Paragon because it fits the character, being a sneaky melee caster.

Thank you for the pointers, but I did say that I am not trying to mess with the levels all that much, I already have Barbarian, Rogue, and some Human Paragon so it is too late to 'hang up' the character. Was originally going with duskblade for simpler spell list and more use out of rings of wizardry, but a mix of other player input and looking over what all is gained made me go for Swiftblade(was originall duskblade 4/spellsword 4/abjurant champion 5).

Once more, the build is just about set in stone...spell choices are the biggest concern, and a few feats.

Revised feat selection, now have a few spells as well, still looking for advice. GM has okayed Spell Compendium on a case-by-case basis, but still prefers I stick to core/completes.

EDIT: My blank feat is possibly Improved Familiar, to get something that can fight alongside me and has improved evasion. Was lucky on my barb levels(rolled an 11 and 12) and will be getting higher con, so half my HP is still quite a bit of HP.

honestly if you wanna be a sneaky caster with a pigsticker just go bard or druid. You won't be amazing at anything but capable at almost everything.

But if you are set with this character and want advice on spells there is always the simple stat buffs from bull's strength, cat's grace, etc. Plus the mass versions later on.

You can edit your posts. Don't double post unless you have to.
