My own suggestion would be something interesting. As draegloths are in general build for brutal close combat but they are more respected when they develop magical powers of arcanist or cleric.<br/><br/>So, a mix of both close combat and arcane. But duskblade is too refined for such char and draegloth with shield would not fit my mental image of them :P. So I thinked perhaps this draegloth is what is called 'melee warlock'. Taking now 4 levels as warlock (or 5 levels as we soon go level up anyways). With warlock you could take Hideous Blow and that eldrict shape would allow you deliver eldrict blast attack with melee weapon (or natural attack like claw what draegloth have) and do both weapon and eldrict blast damage on single attack.<br/><br/>Warlock would give access to UMD skill and able take 10 with said skill, give handful nice tricks what brute builded draegloth would appreciate. Spell resistance is of course issue what you need overcome but later on you get invocation essence for EB which negates it outright (and can use practiced spellcaster for outsider HD and arcane mastery and spell penetration feat reduce impact of SR). Another way to go with draegloth is focus on his close combat abilities. He is large, has lots Str so he could go to some rarer PrC's which ask size large or bigger (like rock hurler PrC from Complete Warrior). But classical draegloth could be one with barbarian level and then levels in frenzied berserker.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>If you do go for Melee warlock though do not take Hideous blow it's such a terrible blast shape that it makes me wonder if the creators didn't make a mistake with  it somewhere.   Eldritch Glaive though will work with melee attacks fairly well if you do decide to go that route.
