Is there any way to make a viable enchanter?

[QUOTE="Iku Rex, post: 3242598, member: 752"] I've been thinking about an arcane enchanter type myself and I have a few ideas. Races: Races with a bonus on a spellcasting stat are usually a good choice. Deep Imaskari (Underdark), Sun Elves (FRCS) and Grey Elves (MM) have +2 Int. Star Elves (Unapproachable East) and Spellscales (RotD) have +2 Cha. (There are probably more I've forgotten.) Humans are also a solid choice, especially for a sorcerer. Lets you pick the Able Learner (RoD) feat. Ghostwise Halflings have 20' telepathy - a nice touch. Feats: Still Spell, Silent Spell and Eschew Materials, the Spell Focus feats, the Spell Penetration feats and Heighten Spell are possible Core chocies. Chain Spell (CArc) could be worth it. Unsettling Enchantment (CMag) and Touch of Distraction (CMag) aren't that good, but add some flavor. Fey Power (CMag) adds +1 to CL and DC on enchantment spells Frightful Presence (Drac) could be worth it for a "Dominator" type. It's not a feat, but the Immediate Magic alternate wizard class feature from PHBII has a very nice ability for enchanters. (Daze low HD attacker as immediate action.) Prestige classes: The Mindbender (CArc) gets you 100' telepathy. (More than one level isn't really worth it.) The Master Specialist (CMag) gets you Greater Spell Focus and some nice abilities. The 4th level "no save on charm spells even if under attack" looks especially useful. Skills: Able Learner (lets a human buy cross-class skills without the double cost.) The spells Friendly Face (RoD) and Voice of the Dragon (SC) give bonuses on social skills. There are items that help too. Spells: Spell Enhancer (SC) is +2 CL and +1 DC on your next spell if you're worrying about DCs. Not much, but maybe worth it on higher levels. (4th level spell, swift action.) I've been meaning to make a specialized sorcerer spell list with mostly enchantment spells, so if there's any interest I may post one. [/QUOTE]
