Hello, I have to play a Beguiler for my group (they lack thief, so I smuggled this class to my DM). We begin lvl 4, and need some tips about good feat choices and/or PrCs

race: Elf
What I have so far:

Spell and Greater Spell focus (Ench)
Spell Penetration (our DM allowed "feat-buy" when we build the char. 1000gp/feat)

Skill points in Search, Disable Device, Diplo, Disguise, Gather Inf, Bluff, Open lock (less), Sleigh of hand (less), Sense motive (less), knowledge (Krynn)... etc..

No armor - yet, that remains to be seen, see lower -, only a MAge Armor. A Hat of Disguise (yhea!)

I wondered if I could take a level of Monk eventually. With a feat 6th level that would be something along the line of "Ascetic Mage", but as a Beguiler instead of Sorcerer. The idea is in the "Magic" sub-forum (so, scew the armor forever). Would that be a mistake?

For the bonus spell at lvl 3, I chose "distract opponent", best move I ever made :D

so... any suggestions?

Kung Fu Genius out of Dragon Compendium will give you your Intelligence to AC in place of Wisdom in combination with a Monk.

What age of Krynn are you playing in? If the Conclave has authority over magic, are Beguilers considered renegades, or do they conform to the rules of the Conclave?

Oh, we are playing a homebrew version of Krynn (our DM doesn't like the fact that I might know more about the world than she does, so she changed a few things..)

The Gods just disapeared, the world is plunging into chaos. The adventurer party has been recruited by a "holier-than-thou" spell-thief (who'se player left last game anyway, so we ditched him) in a quest to find the artefacts.

Wizards and clerics lost their powers, but spontaneous spellcasters and druids kept theirs.

I am a Beguiler, Spy at the service of the Crown of Qualinost, and I travel across Krynn to seek potential treaths to my homelands. Mwahaha!

Actually, I think that Ascetic Beguiler would be neat, 'cause the level of Beguiler and monk would stack for the bonus to AC..

Anyway.. any other ideas?
