[3.5] Making a PC ghost

[theoneorange]

I am planing on making a Ghost using the savage progression, and I am wondering a good way to go about doing this(feats,classes,etc....) We will be starting at level 2.

I would also like to note that I will be trying to go as long as possible without other PCs knowing that I am a ghost.

The Master of the Unseen Hand (Complete Warrior) is pretty fun. All you need is 8 ranks in concentration.

Ghostwalk (Which was updated to 3.5, woo!) has a plethora of feats and classes for you.

Master of the Unseen Hand seems awesome, but I think I want my ghost to be focused on using malevolence. Are their cool tricks to increase the DC on it?

The "ghosts" in Ghostwalk are rather different from the normal Ghost though. They're not even undead.

Class-wise - well, not a caster, you lose too many levels. Rogue is an option - Sneak Attack works fine with whatever type of attack you're using. For the same reason, any ToB class could be good - maybe not Crusader, since you're not going to be a tank.

There are some tricks that are pretty nice:
* Lifesight + Flyby Attack + any standard-action attack: Hide inside the floor/walls, pop up to attack, sink back in.
* Telekinesis + damage boosters (Sneak Attack, Knowledge Devotion, whatever): Don't just double your fun, multiply it by 12.

Edit: Malevolence
Ability Focus adds two. Beyond that - just having a high Charisma is all I can think of.

Step 1 of playing a Ghost:
How will you survive opponents on the Ethereal plane?

Step 2 of playing a Ghost:
How will you survive if you are plane shifted from the Ethereal plane?
