Beguiling Twist really cooks if you have a way of applying frightened, it is the gift that keeps on giving.  The Fey Wanderer really doesn't have a built in repeatable way to do this effectively until you get Summon Fey with a lot of uses in tier 4. Usually I will pick up either Shadow Touched with Wrathful Smite or Cause Fear or play a Dragonborn with Dragonfear feat.  These work well, but they are limited in use and Dragonfear slows you down a little because it does not give a +1 Wisdom.  I think the Cult of the Dragon feat + Dragonscarred feat at level 4 is going to be better than either of these.The only difficulty is you need to use a custom background because the Cult of the Dragon background does not offer Wisdom (even though the ability uses Wisdom only).If you are looking for other Fey Wanderer advice - I usually like to play this with a 14 Charisma, but this can be tough as it ties you to a 10 Constitution on point buy (assuming 16 Dex and 17 Wisdom) and if you are in a combat-oriented game it might be better to go with 13 Charisma and 12 Constitution.  If you want to play a Shillelagh build you can also look at doing 14 Dex, but that can get messy with your bonus action.  There is also the option of an Elf with a Truestrike build.  This will be lower on damage in tier 2, although it opens up a lot more weapon options, including some Sap weapons and it catches up in tier 3, especially since at that point you are casting/controlling a lot anyway.  A Truestrike build would also work well with Spellfire Adept at level 8 I thinkI try to get Deception and Intimidation from a background and take my first expertise in Deception.  I pick up persuasion from Fey Wanderer and then expertise in Persuasion and Intimidation at level 9.  This puts you at +14 on the three main charisma skills and +6 on the rest at level 9 (or +15/+7 with a 14 Charisma).When you get Summon [mirthful] Fey that becomes the bread and butter of this subclass.  After level 11 you can have multiple Fey on the battlefield without concentration with each of them casting a charm and you twisting it if anyone saves.  If you cast it at 4th level they do pretty good damage too in addition to throwing out that charm every round.</blockquote>
