Wandering Star
First Post
I've already statted up my gnome rogue for a new campaign starting soon with a view to advancing him as an illusionist later, with a selection of enchantment spells for a certain style of caster (as I'm bored of the basic flash-wizards I've played previously). I'm looking for an interesting character to play with interesting strategy options, subtle control and deception magic, and i think the concept fits the flavour of gnomes quite well.
Then I saw the beguiler class from the PHBII. I'm now seriously contemplating redoing my gnome as a beguiler. So I'm looking for advice. How does a beguiler compare to a wizard that focusses on illusion and enchantment spells with a feat selection to support it? I'm sure one of the drawbacks will be a loss of flexibility, as I wouldnt be able to add the odd conjuration spell into the mix to really keep my foes guessing. What are the pros and cons of each class? I'm really interested in seeing how the two compare.
