I'm playing a Beguiler and am enjoying it a lot. The only thing that bothers me once in a while is that the range of the most of my spells is 'close'. THis makes it very difficult sometimes to effectively cast a spell.

Is there (besides the DMG "Rod of Metamagic: enlarge") an item that could make the range if spells longer?

Thanks!

That being said, I do not know of anything off the top of my head that would provide you with the boost your are looking for. Perhaps some sort of ability or item that allows casting a school of magic or spell type at +1 caster level or some such would at least give you a small boost on range.

There is a metamagic feat called "Reach Spell" that will allow you to turn touch spells into 30' reach spells. I would also suggest creating a metamagic Feat that explicitly does just what you want: converts Close range spells to Medium. Then get a metamagic rod that does it.
