Basically, after 3rd level I could pay 3,000 exp and be done with it.  So I'd be 3,000 exp behind the rest of the party rather than a whole level.  Of course, I'd probably make some scrolls and such as well but what caster doesn't?As for the utility of Hide in Plain Sight, it does have advantages over See Invisibility which defeats both blink (because you're only ethereal) and invisibility.  Since Unseen Seer requires 8 ranks of hide and Dark Template gives you +8 (!) to hide and I'll be putting points at start into Dex, I'd be able to snipe (shoot a ray from hiding and rehide at -20) feasibly.Having MORE ways to sneak is always better.  Every 2nd level Invisibility I can avoid memorizing is another Blindness spell I can use.  Trying to make this a full caster and support the party with some utility spells is also a good thing.Skirmish or Sneak:  The Arcane Trickster  - which is where most of my sneak dies come from - only gives sneak, so I'll want to stick with that.SpellWarp Sniper has hide, Search and other Unseen Seer requirements as class skills, so SpellWarp Sniper is a really good fit.  SpellWarp Snip has 4 skills/lvl and Unseen Seer has 6 skills/lvl and in that build I'd have high Int, so it helps.  In fact it is a LOT easier than the charisma based Warlock build (where I'd almost have to be human to get the extra skill points.)I really, really like the SpellThieving!  Oh, you've memorized True Seeing?
