Is there a Beguiler in the house?

[Blightersbane]

With all the love and focus given to the wizard, cleric, sorcerer, druid & psion a real flavorful class has been ignored by my gaming group, the Beguiler. Reason being is they (they being defined as all gamers I have ever met) will take one of the above fab 5 and tweak them here n there to make slightly different versions of same class. BUT despite their efforts there is always alllllwaaays 75% of the same spells over and over again. And I like the pragmatic approach, its logical and safe, just so often lacking in flavor.

So were starting up a kingdom based campaign, politics, city life, trade, negotiations etc etc and Im thinking ahaa!!! its time for the Beguiler to shine.  I mean to say dealing with humans & demihumans is the Beguilers specialty, right?

10th level & gestalt
no TOB
we can pick from 3.0/3.5 & PF (DM must approve)
Im thinking 10 slayer w/ urban tracking / 8 beguiler - 1 mindbender - 1 shadow adept
magicals: bracers of murder (dm ruled it will work with 10th lvl slayer assassinate ability)
ffeat: shadow weave, craven, spell focus enchantment

You've seen this conversion thread and PF Beguiler variant file, right?  It's hugely, hugely popular for folks who want a Pathfinder-ized Beguiler.  As well as a Beguiler that has continually evolved from the 2007-era (the year 3.5 died) until recent.  The PDF file has a nice 3.5 WotC-era layout as well.  The user community and the author continually tweak the class file due to playtest gauging. 

Thought it might help.
