[QUOTE="Ganders, post: 7538408, member: 37815"] There are plenty of of ways around the component issue, so spell selection might not be that big a deal. When it comes down to it, most spell components are tiny, just a pinch of something. They can be hidden rather than disguised. Maybe even for Suggestion. As a diviner the spells she casts ahead of time are at least as important as the spells she has prepared, and components don't matter then. If she's tenth level she can probably see invisible. Maybe she could have a spell focus, or a backpack full of magic items nearby that is currently invisible but could be grabbed in a hurry. Might even have a charmed person concentrating on the invisibility rather than herself. Some other notes: Though Dim Door and Teleport make sense for someone who's likely to begin round 1 surrounded, Darkness and Fog Cloud are also fine when not concentrating on something else. As a diviner, she may have a good idea of what's going to happen, what she needs to do to prepare, and which escape routes will work best. She might know all the PCs' names and what their capabilities are. Note that Charm Person, with no components and no concentration, can be cast on anyone, not just the PCs... and it isn't even out of place to have adamant fans. She may have a whole audience of white knights ready to defend her before any confrontation even begins. As an aside... it could be fun to try to retrieve a lock of hair from any attractive PCs during the performance (for later use with Dream to appear in their dreams as either a dancing girl or something very scary).
