First Post
This is a class I created a few years ago. My players loved it, so I thought I'd get some outside opinions too, especially when it comes to class balance.
The idea was to create a "stage magician" sort of feel, using real magic as a supplement to sleight of hand and trickery.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Illusionists are proficient with all simple weapons and light armor, but not with shields. Due the simple and focused nature of their magic, an Illuisionist can cast Illuisionist spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal spell failure chance. However, like any other spellcaster, an Illuisionist wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield incurs a chance of spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component (most do). A multiclass Illuisionist still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes.
Spellcasting: An Illusionist uses magic, but in a very specialized and limited manner. He can cast any spell from the Illusionist list of spells (see below). To learn or cast a spell, an Illusionist must have a CHA score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The DC for a saving throw against an Illusionist's spell is 10 + the spell level + the Illusionist's CHA modifier. Bonus spell slots for Illusionists are based on CHA. An Illusionist begins play knowing two 0th-level spells. At each new Illusionist level, he gains new spells as indicated above. Upon reaching 6th level, and at every even-numbered Illusionist level after that, an Illusionist can choose to learn a new spell in place of one he already knows. In effect, the Illusionist "loses" the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell's level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least two levels lower than the highest-level Illusionist spell the Illusionist can cast.
Apparent Defense (Ex): Due to trickery and magic, the Illusionist adds her CHA bonus as a dodge bonus to her Armor Class, in addition to DEX. Conditions that cause the Illusionist to lose her DEX bonus to AC also cause the Illusionist to lose this bonus, and the Illusionist cannot be wearing armor heavier than light to use this ability.
Bonus Feats: Illusionists are specialists in their art, and gain bonus feats that reflect their love of show, interest in complicated tools, and secret tricks. The Illusionist gains a feat at 5th level and every fifth level beyond that, selected from the following: Acrobatic, Agile, Animal Affinity, Blind-Fight, Cloak Dance, Combat Expertise, Deceitful, Deft Hands, Exotic Weapon Proficiency, Greater Spell Focus (Illusion), Improved Feint, Magical Aptitude, Nimble Fingers, Open Minded, Persuasive, Quick Draw, Skill Focus, Spell Focus (Illusion), Stealthy.
Keen Eye (Ex): At 2nd level, an Illusionist receives a +4 bonus on all saves against illusions.
Evasion (Ex): At 3rd level, the Illusionist gains evasion. If exposed to any effect that normally allows her to attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage, she takes no damage with a successful saving throw. The evasion ability can only be used if the Illusionist is wearing light armor or no armor.
Illusive Strike (Su): At 4th level, an Illusionists becomes able to create short duration Shadows quickly in the heat of combat against enemies that are aleady off guard. Whenever an Illusionist could make an attack roll against a flat-footed enemy, she can instead forgo the attack to have a shadow duplicate of herself appear superimposed in her square and immediately attack her flat-footed enemy and vanish. The Illusionist makes a caster level check and adds his Charisma modifier, which is opposed by his opponent's Armor Class. If the Illusive Strike hits, it does nonlethal damage equal to double damage from the Illusionist with all magical bonuses included. An Illusionist can make an Illusive Strike for every attack she forgoes on a flat-footed enemy.
Misdirection (Sp): Once per day at 6th level, the Illusionist can, as a free action, force one foe of greater than 2 Int within 10' to make a Will save vs. DC of 10 + half the Illusionist's class level + CHA modifier. If the saving throw fails, that foe is treated as flat footed until the foe's next action. This ability involves some sort of communication between the Illusionist and the target (a few words, a gesture, etc). The Illusionist gains an additional daily use of this ability every six levels beyond 6th
Figment (Sp): Starting at 7th level, an Illusionist can cause the figment of an imposing creature to appear in a flanking position against an opponent. Initiating this is a free action, and though the figment makes no real attack, the Illusionist or his ally gains a flanking bonus to his or her own attacks against that foe. This can be used once per day, plus an additional time per day every four levels thereafter.
Extended Illusion: At 8th level, and again at 16th level, the skilled Illusionist can select one Illusion spell that he or she knows and permanently treat it as if affected by the Extend Spell feat without increasing the spell level.
Master's Eye (Ex): By 9th level, an Illusionist is so familiar with illusions that he or she can automatically spot one created by someone else, and disbelieve it, unless the creator of the illusion is at least 4 levels higher than the Illusionist.
Slippery Soul (Su): This ability, gained at 10th level, enables an Illusionist to hide from magical attempts to discern his location. If a divination is attempted against the Illusionist, the caster of the divination must succeed on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against a DC of 10 + Illusionist level, otherwise the spell fails (in the case of a targeted spell) or simply does not reveal the Illusionist (in the case of an area view).
Disappearing Act (Su): Starting at 13th level, an Illusionist can use the Hide skill at any time, even if an opponent is looking directly at the character.
Panache (Ex): The 14th level Illusionist is so good at trickery and deception that he or she can appear far more intimidating that may be truly the case. The Illusionist gains a +4 bonus on Intimiate checks and can demoralize opponents within 30' as a standard action.
Group Act (Su): At 17th level, the Illusionist's Disappearing Act ability improves, and allows the character to also Hide anything (or anyone) within 10'. Allied characters and creatures the character wishes to Hide using this ability must have a ready action to do so, and use their own Hide bonuses to do so.
Illusive Barrage (Su): At 20h level, the Illusionist masters control of the Illusive Strike ability and can make 2 Illusive Strike attacks for every normal attack she forgoes.
