That won't mesh well. Casting spells with armor on can in spell failure, losing the spell. Multiclassing is taking a level in a seperate non-Prestige class. Unless you know what you are doing though, it will probably go poorly, and unless you pick two classes that are capable of great synergy like the rogue and swordsage in a stealth build, and still, you need to know what you are doing.

It is also used when aiming for a particular prestige class.

It's probably best if you pick either one or the other.

It is open to ranger, scout, thief, and fighter realistically. I suggest scout or thief personally, but ranger is fine.

Scout promotes into swordsage yes?

So if I want a magical swordsman would I have to stick to a sword mage. I kind of want to stick to melee soi will stay with crusader and whatever would work best with that. Maybe a Paladin, knight (or its equivalent), etc.

Paladins are good Melee classes and can function as back-up clerics. They use healing spells and other divine magic (Smite Evil!).

Bards can use also use magic and stuff like rapiers. They primarily use support magic though.

Tracking, Spot, Listen, Empathy, and stuff with animals. 

They can also cast some healing spells IIRC. 

Druids are awesome. You don't need to be anything else. Also I have no clue.

Gotcha, I'm still a bit nervous about this though.

I don't know why people give Sorcerer's crap. Sure, Wizards are more versatile, but they have less spell slots and need to prepare their spells in advance, which means that they can screw things up horribly and it's harder to learn spells and you can be prone to spellbook loss (knowing Neo, this will probably be very common). Sure they cast from Charisma, which is less useful for combat, but it's an amazing stat if you use it correctly.
