Eldritch knight is one type of fighter/wizard prestige class, it has almost full spellcasting and full base attack bonus, but it still isn't all that powerful. Combat mages can be very effective but also very difficult to make and play, I suggest you ask Neruz about prestige classes if you intend on continuing with this.

I believe that you lose your fighter bonus feats, so you will need to have those feats from your normal feats at 1st, 3rd, 6th etc. levels. I am also pretty sure that Neruz said that two-weapon offence didn't stack with two-weapon fighting, but you can probably qualify for feats using it in place of two-weapon fighting, I imagine that would match the intent of it. So you can probably trade in two-weapon fighting, but youwill need to check with Neruz...

This is also why I'm asking in the first place since the two weapon of the fighter fix is better than the normal one.

The Fighter Techniques do not stack with the feats from which they originate; they are treated as those feats for the purposes of requirements and soforth, but never stack with them. Which is why they're better than the normal feats, as only Fighters have access to them.

So can I switch out the old feat if I take it then?

[Neruz]

If you decide to switch to the Fighter class, just 'recreate' the character. Chop all the old Fighter class levels and benefits out and redo them with the new ones.

Okay, I'll work on that on the 'marrow.

Does force missile mage also add +1 to caster level?
Why call it a force missile mage if its missiles don't need to be force missiles?
Why pick on brooches? Its not like they offer immunity, just a chance to sacrifice con and still last 5 seconds...

[Neruz]

Does force missile mage also add +1 to caster level?

Because caster Paragon Paths that don't provide caster levels suck gigantic balls.

[RAM]

Meh, just take the feat. Speaking of which, CJ's character should probably take practised spellcaster at level 6...

+1 BAB (Up from +0), +3 Will Save (Up from +2), The Missile Damage Type ability, the Missile Penetration ability and +1 to your existing spellcasting level for the purposes of determining spells per day and spells known.

Damage Type (Ex): When casting Magic Missile, you can have its damage count as fire, cold, electric, acid or sonic damage.

Missile Penetration (Ex): You gain a bonus equal to one half your Force Missile Mage level on caster level checks made to overcome Spell Resistance when casting Magic Missile. This stacks with Spell Penetration and Greater Spell Penetration. In addition, you can penetrate Shield spells and Brooches of Shielding with Magic Missile by making a caster level check (DC 11+Shield's caster level or DC 20 for the brooches). The bonus doesn't apply to these uses.

Bonus Missile (Ex): which makes you fire an extra magic missile when you cast Magic Missile, extra missiles ignore the normal cap for total number of magic missiles fired

+1 Caster Level Bonus when casting Magic Missile; you're treated as being 1 level higher when casting MM
