Charater concept pool shark/hustler

[Nessa Ellenesse]

My husband and I were talking about the spell lighting bolt and how it used to work in 2nd edition. That gave me an idea for our 3.5 campaign I want to make a charter that is a hustles pool games when he is not in the dungeon. Does anyone have any sugestions for classes, feats and skills that would go welll with this concept? I have been able to come up with a few things so far

classes: bard, wizard, factotum, swashbuckler or artificer

skills: bluff, sense motive, knowledge architecture/ engineering concentration, slight of hand, spot and listen

feats: weapons finesse, point blank shot, precise shot.

I'd go factotum 5/ chameleon 10/ x 5 where x is whatever you want. Use chameleon for all the righteous cleric and wizard combat buffs and factotum for call the skills you want and fight using a returning Orc shotput flavored as an 8 ball that you throw at you enemies heads.

Thanks. I like the factotum however I like the class selection but I was thinking of a high dex elf or half elf so I might go with the halfling war sling/skip rock
