3.5 Beguiler Help

[wookietek]

I'm starting a 5th level Beguiler in a city/dungeon crawl campaign where I'm the only one who optimizes, so I want to keep things light and fluffy. He's heading to the Swiftblade PrC for at least 3 levels, and then Abjurant Champion for a bit. I have 9k to spend, and I am overwhelmed looking through the MIC. I'm looking less for power, and more for fluff. I'm imagining him to be a pun loving prankster with a bit of a drinking problem. If he can embarrass an opponent while helping to defeat him all the better. Think fun sized, albeit lethal, trickery.

I am always in favor of a mindbender dip at 6. If you wanna keep it power light don't take mindsight. The ability to communicate with anyone who speaks a language is cool. The ability to host private conversations is cool. Their combination is even better.
