It can handle the face role in the party, while also providing exploration and stealth abilities. As noted, it focuses on illusion and enchantment. While it has strong options for a wide variety of situations, against certain foes, the beguiler may have to fall back on UMD. It's a somewhat popular choice for combing with cleric, for a mystic theurge with a very strong suite of illusions and enchantments, or with a prepared caster like wizard, for a somewhat specialized ultimate magus. As a single class, it's rather like a somewhat less melee capable bard with better casting and no music. It doesn't synergize perfectly with arcane trickster, but AT functions as a decent alternative advancement at middle levels. EDIT: It generally does, however, require shenanigans to get mage hand, as that spell is inexplicably not on the beguiler spell list (open/close is).</blockquote>
