Im starting a 1st lvl human gestalt rogue/wizard and ive only got a few rough idea's on his background. At the moment im thinking of playing him as a "Wizard of the street" he didnt go to any sort of formal academy for his training, instead he stole pages from others spell books, convinced them to teach him a little while they were drunk or just peeked through a window of a school for the arcane.

Basically he is a very rough around the edges type of wizard, more akin to a sorcerer really, surviving by his wits and skills. Im also thinking that he will have used the tattoo spell book (from Complete Arcane) for some of his spells, incase somebody steals *his* spell book.

Im wanting to play him as a social manipulator ie: use his magic and skills to get into the favour of somebody rich then run away with their money. He will focus mostly on enchantment and illusion.

Any comments/advice?
