[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 2826718, member: 4936"] I definitely want to try the Beguiler class from PHBII...the question is what to gestalt it with. Things I've considered: Rogue: Complements skill monkeyish nature, sneak attack will stack with the Cloaked Casting. Both can wear Light armor with no penalty. But kind of...bland. Of course, adding in a PrC, like Shadowdancer, helps combat that. Monk: Great powers, but one of the advantages of Beguilers is that they cast spells in armor...which monks can't wear. Duskblade: This one is tempting. A whole BUNCH of spells per day, all of which can be cast in armor, spontaneously, using Int as a spellcasting stat. Plus, the melee power of Duskblade helps offset the fact that the Beguiler's feinting power can only be used in melee. And Spell Channeling could be used in concert with Cloaked Casting to deliver quite a wallop. ... I'm also considering one of the Shadow mage classes from Tome of Magic...they seem to fit the mindset. Anyone else have thoughts on what class might complement a Beguiler gestalt? [/QUOTE]
