[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 2840456, member: 4936"] Oops, sure thing. Both are in PHB 2...here's the summaries: The Beguiler is to enchantment, illusion and roguery what the Warmage is to evocation, conjuration, and combat.

Learned spells MUST be sorceror/wizard spells of Enchantment or Illusion schools, of level no higher than can be cast when the ability is gained. Note that the Class Spell List is reproduced on the character sheet under Spells Known for the Beguiler class. [B]Duskblade[/B] A synthesis of warfare and magic, the Duskblade is most similar mechanically to a bard, though with emphasis on combat skills and spells rather than trickery and support. Despite the name, there is nothing 'shadowy' or sinister about the class. They cast spells spontaenously, with more slots per day per level than a sorceror, but FAR fewer spell picks, and from a much more limited list.
