I'm imagining a character for an upcoming campaign that can use both sword and spell - at the same time.
That is, once he gets 2 Attacks, he can swipe with his blade or throw a firebolt with each. Swipe, Swipe. Bolt, Swipe. Swipe, Bolt. You get the point
Now then, my GM has asked me to ideally come up with a canon WFRP character that can do something similar as the best way to make him accept the idea (and to make the necessary houserule amendments that basically entails bolting somebody as part of the Attack action rather than Cast a Spell).
So now I'm turning to your collective wisdom. Any hero, character or even monster with an ability like this would help!
PS. The specific idea is to give the character the magical power to cast a firebolt (or something similar) in place of an attack, rather than have to spend the entire round Casting a Spell (which precludes waving my sword around). The spell in question is entirely intended to be no more damaging than a sword swipe or arrow shot, so it's more about style and image than me trying to powergame...
PPS. If you must know, yes, this character concept would be called a "gish" in other roleplaying communities. A character subtly different from WFRP's regular battle wizard. The battle wizard is more like Gandalf from Peter Jackson's movies. He fights with a sword to conserve power and possesses mighty spells. When he's Casting a Spell, he's not Attacking - and vice versa. My character would be able to firebolt (or something similar) people all the time, intermixed with weapon attacks, and would not otherwise have access to mighty spells. He would be more mighty warrior than mighty wizard (if he survives that far!), albeit a warrior that uses magic to fight.
