Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 2810505" data-attributes="member: 2525">Shadowcrafter is from Underdark.  Shadowcraft Mage is from Races of Stone.In my opinion, Shadowcraft Mage is the better class, and the more illusion-focused class as well.  However, the two prestige classes compliment each other well, depending on how you read the bonus percentage shadow reality abilities of the Shadowcrafter.  And, since Shadowcraft Mage is only a 5-level prestige class, there is plenty of room to also take Shadowcrafter if you so choose.Shadow Adept, from Player's Guide to Faerun, also works well with both of those other prestige classes.For what it's worth, I am going Wiz Illusionist 5/Shadow Adept 1/Mindbender 1/Shadowcraft Mage 5 for my first 12 levels.  I am undecided beyond that, but may choose Shadowcrafter for the remaining 8 levels.  For substitution abilities/levels I am taking the first level of the Gnome Illusionist from Races of Stone, Chains of Disbelief from Unearthed Arcana, and Illusion Mastery from Unearthed Arcana.  Feats are Spell Focus: Illusion, Shadow Weave Magic, Heighten Spel, Signature Spell: Major Image, Arcane Mastery, and Extraordinary Concentration (through level 12).</blockquote>
