Hey guys I haven't played 3.5 in a LONG time (and IIRC we only played a game or two...and probably did it wrong
) and other than the DM no one else our group has ever played so were a little inexperienced the closest thing we got to playing is the PC adaptations such NWN or Baldur's gate so yeah not much.
Anyways I'm hoping to get some help creating a Con Artist type character (Merchant by day thief by night with a little crossover both ways....and a little magic too) that uses magic to assist her in achieving that as well as her looks (one of the main reasons i decided on female) I'm thinking a focus on illusion/enchantment magic. Probably a Beguiler because its a good mix of rogue and Wizard.
Oh here's the books I have access to (tell me if any are unofficial...also feel free to suggest books my local library has a decent collection):
Note: The game isn't in any particular setting our only restrictions are official books only and no Half-Orcs or Drow (dunno why but DM says so)
