For perusal and fine tuning, here is the rough draft of Silhouette, AKA Whisper-From-Shadows, AKA any number of other things... Physically weaker than the other PC's...though not as useless in melee as most mages, which might lead to some unpleasant surprises if we're attacked...but a real powerhouse magically. Caster level 17 and DC's stretching up into the low 30's... AC of 30 (unbuffed!). And she comes complete with a spy network and a cohort to manage it.
I did draw rather heavily on Magic Item Compendium, so if there's any questions about items and what they do, I'll gladly elaborate. Right now the final item list is somewhat in flux. Any suggestions people have will be gratefully considered.
Notes:
Her spell slots are not yet adjusted for ability scores.
Cohort and followers not yet detailed.
One level of Unseen Seer was taken at 6th level, knocking all the Advanced Learning class features up a caster level. This is why I was able to take 4rth, 6th, and 8th level spells when if I was a pure Beguiler, I would have been forced to take spells of one level lower each.
The Circlet of Persuasion is "built into" the headband of intelligence, for a +50% surcharge to its cost.
[sblock=Silhouette]Name: Silhouette
Race: Tiefling
Class/Level: Beguiler 15 / Unseen Seer 2
Gender: Female
Exp: 94120/105000
Desc: Silhouette's true appearance is that of a shapely and beautiful female humanoid, with red irised eyes and skin that is truly black in color; the shade of shadows at midnight. She enjoys finery and luxury, and tends to dress in provacative clothes of high quality materials, or at least seem to. Very little in her day to day appearance is exactly as it seems however. Her skill in illusion magic makes her adept at adopting roles and altering her looks to become whoever and whatever she wishes at any given moment.
