Wizard/Fighter Build
 

I am trying to build a decent 28th level Eladrin Wizard who multiclasses into a fighter-type class (to roll up Valanduil, one of the Lords of the West). What would be a good build for a wizard who can kick ass with a sword? How about wizard/Swordmage?

Maybe something like this...

Very similar to something I had in mind, but with some crucial changes. Thanks.

How did you get his stats so high? I started with the same starting stats, put all additions into STR and CON, and could only end up with a 28 INT.

Demigod/Chosen gives a +2 to two stats.

Unless your already satisfied with Sith's build (which is very nice), you might also consider warlord for the Int Synergy. That, and arcane commanders = HELL YES!

Here is a build of Valanduil as a Wizard multiclassed into a Warlord. Can you guys check out this build and give me some advice so that I don't miss something and make him totally gimped?
