Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sollir Furryfoot" data-source="post: 4806704" data-attributes="member: 748">There have been worse enhancements than Skillful, I believe there was even one where you added half your arcane caster levels to attack rolls (it didn't give you any more iterative attacks, but it was still nasty).  I wouldn't suggest boosting up the BAB of the class, as the Beguiler is quite powerful and fairly balanced as it is.  Taking a level or two of Fighter would increase your attack bonus a good deal, especially if you take weapon finesse or weapon focus.  Otherwise, I suggest the Arcane Strike feat from Complete Warrior: You expend a spell slot to get +X to your attack rolls and +Xd4 damage on each successful attack for a round (where X is = to the spell level).  It balances it out fairly nicely I think, allowing casters to kick some ass every once in a while, at the expense of their magic.  As long as you make sure to keep investing in your weapon and perhaps Combat Expertise/Power Attack you should be just dandy.  Finally, Law Devotion and Knowledge Devotion from the Complete Champion are interesting and flavorful as well, though Law Devotion is difficult to use without a cleric level for extra turn attempts.Edit-Another alternative, check out Battle Sorcerer from Unearthed Arcana/the SRD: <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#sorcererVariantBattleSorcerer" target="_blank">http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#sorcererVariantBattleSorcerer</a></blockquote>
