I know wizard//Beguiler is versitile, but I feel very underwhelmed about Enchantment(hence the ban on both sides), and my DM is more than likely to dish out chanllenges that hampers(or completely stops)mind-affecting abilities, (where apliciable, of course).
My thing about Archivist is that they rely on what they get TOO much, IMO.
I have not played a Psionic charater before, that really sounds interesting though...... Spell to power......Does that means I can turn my spells into Psion powers, so that I can pass as a Psion?
Major props to everyone contributed. You guys rock!
