Dex-Based Spellsword
How would a dex-based spellsword do in PvE? Would finesse and the increased armor from dex modifiers still allow it to be tankier, or am I not correctly doing the math in my head?
Re: Dex-Based Spellsword
DEX based spellswords can work just fine. They do get a pretty nice AC, though if you go DEX spellsword, my personal recommendation would be to go Wizard/Fighter/Monk, focus in quarterstaff. That way you can get 9 Attacks per round. While you don't do as much damage/hit, having that many attacks means it adds up quite quickly.

Doable. As Kobra mentioned, you'll probably want to run the quarterstaff build. Otherwise, the STR build is just superior as there's a good balance between damage and AC plus your CL will be higher.
