Hi all!
My DM allowed an Incantatar, and I don't have the strength of character to abstain from playing such a powerful class - any proposals to take something less powerful are wise and certainly of use, but don't pertain to my situation.
The group consists of
1) a Half-Giant Warblade 8, the player knows the rules and optimises a bit, but really likes d6 and takes attack powers that offer many of them.
2) a half drow Necropolitan Dread Necromancer 8, who mainly uses Debuffs and Summon Skeleton 1-5
3) a Halfling Rogue 9, the player barely knows the rules and relies on getting buffed with blink to generate lots of Sneak attacks.
4) a Human Beguiler 5/Widow Queen 4 (Prestige Class from Frank and K's tome of houserules, full spell progression, gets paralysing touch attack and ability draining bite). She does mostly BC (Grease, Glitterdust, etc.)
The problem is:
I don't really know where to go with the character. I thought about role-playing applications first (I look forward to get a very hard to beat disguise with persisted Alter Self and Disguise Self), game play second - so I don't really know what to do with the character.
I will be able to reliably persist 0th and 1st level spells, 2nd level spells with 15% of failure (Easy Metamagic, High Point Buy and Minor Schema of Skill Enhancement, CL 20).
But it's a long time since I played last and didn't DM. When I played last, I was rather selfish and didn't think about not stealing spotlight. This is something I would like to avoid now.
What can I do in a group where every role is already taken?
