So, I have this Beguiler. He's been great fun and I expect he will continue to be but he has some significant challenges to face. He will be facing over time a lot of undead and due to Drow involvement likely elves and spiders (vermin) too.
I plan on staying PURE Beguiler!!!Those things of course are right in the niche of "OMG Pain in the Beguilers Ass" category but such was generally expected from before Beguiler was even my chosen class. Meaning, I knew I would have this pain in my ass when I made my choice.
Which brings me back to the point of this thread...
I currently have Versatile Spellcaster, Precocious Apprentice, and Darkstalker as feats at 2nd level.
I was considering taking Leadership (if allowed) or even Obtaining a Familiar (and eventually an Imp or similar).
Hands down I think Leadership is the more powerful choice that could help more with my foe problems more than a familiar but a familiar certainly could be fun, especially with all my Beguiler skills.
So the question... would the Leadership, or Obtain Familiar/Improved Familiar feat be the best route to pursue?
Or are there other great Feats to look into in regard to handling the challenges those foes present?
Resources Available/allowed:Most WOTC books but generally not Campaign Specific ones. (might be able to convince DM though)
The only Dragon stuff we've ever used was the 2nd Ed. Maneuvers
- Probably no Dragon Mag.
Sometimes DM allows WOTC web enhancement materials.
Any ideas and thoughts would be appreciated. Of course best way to fix the problem will probably just be to use Eclectic learning (the warmage ACF which DM is allowing for Beguiler) to add good spells to cover the gap.
