Yes I know this sounds like a weird/stupid idea but hear me out. 

I was playing with the CB when I saw a power I usually over look because I don't like playing melee casters. It's called Ensorcelled Blade, and it can be used as a melee basic attack. This allows the Executioner side of the hybrid use the Dex to hit and damage instead of the Cha, along with adding that lovely 1d8 it adds to melee basic attacks. On top of it, the Ensorcelled Blade states that if the creature you hit with the attack hits or misses you, it gets damaged by the spell source option damage again. Add White Lotus Riposte to the mix and if you are hit by the creature you can be dishing out 10 points of automatic out of turn damage as an incentive not to go attacking you. 

It's pretty much a one trick pony, as any powers you get from being a sorc aren't going to hit very well unless they are weapon attacks but it's still a neat idea I think. I hadn't seen a build like this before but maybe it's already been discussed. If it already has, would someone point me to the thread so I can see what was come up with for it?

Mine was built up to 3rd level and in a Dark Sun campaign with no magic items so I am sure you guys can think up the different magic items to add to make it better.

I think the builder put it at +10 to hit 1d6+11 (the builder lists +5 from Dex and +5 from Sorcerous Power and +1 from inherent bonus), 1d8, and if you added the Assassin's Strike it was another 2d10 and if you were attacked by the creature it would take 10 points of damage, and if it misses it takes 5 points
