If you want to have a dual-class fighter/mage, I would have your character start out as a fighter with a 17 or higher in intelligence. Why? (1) A fighter gains more hit points per level then a mage, (2) a figher has more weapons that he can be proficient in and can gain a higher level of specilization, (3)if you start as a mage then change to a figher, your magical power will be limited because once you switched over to a figher you would no longer be able to gain new spell levels - you can no longer go up in level as a mage, and (4) in order to use the abilites of the class that you started out as, you need to have a higher level in the second class than the first class. So if you start out as a mage and switch to a figher, then, you would not be able to cast spells until your level as a figher was greater than your level as mage.
