[QUOTE="schnee, post: 7121681, member: 16728"] If it were me, I'd go one of three ways, in this order. I'm repeating what others have said for the most part. Option 1: Circle of the Land Druid. You'd be able to fill all kinds of interesting fun niches - scouting, stealth, infiltration, area control magic, healing, and since the 'normal' stuff is covered, you could pick lots of flavorful spells that often get overlooked by optimizers.
