All elves can use longswords in 3ed regardless of class.-Sneakyness: For your concept it requires either Rogue or Ranger levels. See below for details.-low key spells and some bangers: This will depend on your overall spellcaster level and spell choice. Which means it depends on your total character level.This depends a lot on your total character level and what books are available.As mentioned above the Duskblade from PHII could be an option. It is not good at sneaking or blast spells, but very good at close quarter combat and touch spells. You won't need to multiclass if you use that class.If you have acces to Complete warrior there is a decent Bladesinger prestige class in that book. You can qualify as early as level 5 (and thus taking your 6th levels as a bladesinger) by taking a combination of wizard and other class levels.The best way of getting requirements and synergy from other classes is a combination of 3 Swashbuckler levels (another class from Complete warrior), Wizard (1 level will suffice) and 3 Elf paragon levels (a Class from Unearthed arcana). This will grant you all the requirements (but needs careful feat placement) and a nice mix of abilities (among them letting you use your intelligence bonus for AC, Damage and spell casting ability). Lets assume that your stats include a intelligence of 16 from level 1.Your first level should be swashbuckler.You get (4+3)*4 skill points = 28With these you buy 2 ranks in balance perform (dance), perform (sing) and tumble (you may want to get balance and tumble higher, but 2 ranks is the minimum requirement for Bladesinger). All in all that is 12 skill points (because perform is a cross class skill and costs double).You also get weapon finesse as a free feat and should take dodge as your level 1 feat, as dodge is a requirement for bladesingers.Second level: Wizard5 skillpoints, dump 4 of the in concentration, that’s another requirement taken care of. You will also pick up Scribe scroll for free.Third level: Elf paragon5 skillpoints. Spend as you like. Has Hide and Move silent as class skills (and some others of course). Choose Combat expertise as your third level feat (another of those pesky requirements).You also get some nifty bonuses to elfstuff (senses and the likes)Fourth level: Elf paragon5 skillpoints. Spend as you like. Has Hide and Move silent as class skills (and some others of course). You get weapon focus (rapier) for free (another requirement dealt with).You also increase your effective wizard caster level by 1.Fifth level: Elf paragon5 skillpoints. Spend as you like. Has Hide and Move silent as class skills (and some others of course). You intelligence increase by 2.You also increase your effective wizard caster level by yet another 1 (and now casts and prepares spells as a 3rd level wizard, pretty cool huh).Sixth level: Swashbuckler 2.8 skillpoints (since we are assuming an intelligence of 18). You get a small bonus to reflex saves and must choose combat casting as your 6 level feat.Sixth level: Swashbuckler 3.8 skillpoints. You get the ability to add your intelligence bonus to damage when using weapon finesse or light weapons. Your BAB get up to +5 at this level and you are set to take Bladesinger levels from here on onwards for the next 10 levels.Let’s recap.At level 7 (entry level to bladesinger)Intelligence 18BAB: +5Casts and prepares spells as a 3rd level wizard.Skills: Balance 2 ranks, Perform (dance) 2 ranks, Perform (singing) 2 ranks, Tumble 2 ranks. 48 skill points not spend yet.Feats: Combat casting, Combat expertise, Dodge, Weapon focus (rapier).At this level your aren’t to impressive, but should be able to hold your own. And with some Bladesinger levels under your belt it starts looking good. This particular build does not use a longsword, but could work with a shortsword instead of a rapier.</blockquote>
