I'm currently playing in a Rise of the Rune Lords campaign using 3.5 rules. We're currently at 9th-10th level. Should my current PC die, I was thinking of using the following character. Need some help tweaking, as well as some rules lawyering. No setting spewcific books (i.e. Eberron or Forgotten Realms) allowed.
Gnome Beguiler 1 (with Practiced Spellcaster)/Spellthief 1/Focused Illusionist 3(using variants from UA and racial substitution levels from RoS)/Ultimate Magus 4/Shadowcraft Mage 1.
Using the following feats: Practiced Spellcaster (beguiler), Earth Sense, Earth Spell, Heighten Spell, Master Spellthief (stacks caster levels, allows me to use light armour), Residual Metamagic [tactical]...
campaign goes to 14-15th level, so continuing Shadowcraft Mage to 3rd, and then continuing Ultimate Magus.
At 14th, will be a Beguiler 1/Spellthief 1/Ultimate Magus 6/Shadowcraft Mage 3.
Is this a viable build?
With regards to rules, Illusion Mastery (UA) states that I lose bonus spells for being a specialist wizard. Does this include the extra spells for being a Focused Illusionist (PHB2)?
Thanks.
