I'm thinking of playing a Shadowcaster

[LordVyreth]

This would be my first Tome of Magic PC, and I'm considering it and (to a lesser degree,) the other two classes introduced in that book. Does that one or the other two come recommended to anyone? Are there any recommendations about what spells (mysteries, whatever,) and feats to focus on? I'm still a little confused on the best way to get higher level powers, or if it's even worth doing that for bonus feats and mysteries per day.

I've always been intrigued by the class and its somewhat offbeat mechanics, but I've never had the opportunity to play one.

However, there is an excellent thread by the class' creator you might want to check out:
