[QUOTE="Haffrung Helleyes, post: 3458115, member: 1068"] [b]Age of Worms[/b] OK, I'm going to be the dissenter here. I've GMed the Age of Worms up through the spire of long shadows. I think the Beguiler is a fine substitute for the rogue. Actually, I think he'll play better than a rogue in the age of worms. Rogues are much more limited in an undead-heavy game than are beguilers. A beguiler can do everything a rogue can do but sneak attack. Because INT is his main stat, he'll have as many (or more, likely) skill points as the rogue. Since he also has Trapfinding, he's set. I mean think about it. Say you're fighting a bunch of undead (a common occurence in the latter part of the Age of Worms). What would you rather have in your party, someone who can sneak attack, or someone who can cast Improved Invisibility, Slow, Haste, Glitterdust, Solid Fog, True Seeing, Greater Dispel Magic, Power Word Blind, Power Word Stun, and Time Stop? The main thing you need to worry about is making sure that the Psion fills the role of blaster. He should use his feats to buy into the kineticist list... a couple of well chosen spells and he's there. Ken [/QUOTE]
