would be better to stay pure class. SW's first post has a good point, why try and be a fighter, if just lvl 5? I'd say that with an arcane caster, you need every lvl you can get, so that you can get all the spells possible. A lvl 5 fighter is far from a tank, especially with the armor limitations, *knowing this will get some groans from the community, posts anyway* would be better to go rogue, and go for dodge, and uncanny dodge and other defensive feats, rather than try to go melee. Arcane spell failure is a real drag, especially in a combat situation. Fighter's are built for heavy armor, and you can get like 40 to 50% chance to fail an arcane spell in that. Pure class, or rogue, and focus on bow, or crossbow, stay out of melee, and drop as many spells as possible on them.
