Alright, I'm making a backup character for my lowest OP campaign, so this should only be mid-low OP.

I'm also making a shadowcaster, using Piggy's handbook (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=268661) as a guide. I'm using the author's suggested fixes as well.

Level 4 to start with. I want to go for more of a BFC caster with stealth options.

Here is the build so far (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=787920). I still need equipment.

I'm also not entirely sold on using the Sacred Vow/Vow of Nonviolence combination. If I switched off of it, I would probably go Still Mystery and another feat. What suggestions are there for the other feat? If no on has a good idea, I can ask my DM about allowing an "Extra Mystery" feat to pick up the "Quicker than the Eye" mystery.

The rest of the party are a fearcasting Sorcerer (backup is a fear-manifesting psion), a factotum (backup is a DFA refluffed into alchemy), and a shifter barbarian going for Frenzied Berzerker (backup is probably an artificer).

Also, I have a question: In the creator's fix, he says that you get bonus mysteries/day based on your CHA modifier. But since each mystery is 1, 2, or 3/day each, how does that work? do you just get a floating mystery that can be any 1st level mystery you know?

Yeah, that's how I always ran it.

Yes, IIRC, there's a post somewhere wherein he clarifies it.
EDIT: Found it, post 86 on this (http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?167796-The-Shadowcaster-weak/page9) thread.

Thank you.

Now, what about feat selection or item recommendations?
