I've had an idea to try out a prestige class that I found a while ago. It's called Master of the Unseen Hand, and, oddly enough, it's in Complete Warrior.
Then I found the Swiftblade (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/prc/20070327) class on wizards.com, and now I have an idea for a really fast one of the above.
The Problem(s, plural): To take all the levels of both classes, I'd need to be a wizard, but I really like spontaneous casters better.
Also, at half BAB progression (and BAB is something I'll need), I'd be languishing on an extra half a point.
The other problem is that the flavor and way the build works will change dramatically once I start gaining levels in Swiftblade. Suddenly, the character goes from "I cast a spell" to "I run up, whack my opponent, and run away". I really think the bard class would work better, but it ups the level for SB by 1 and doesn't get TK
Then, this build has be played at a higher level, because, if you stop taking the full-caster class and go with Swiftblade, the first level you can cast TK is 12 (11 for wizards).
Sigh.
My questions are: Is there an arcane caster who gets 3/4 BAB, and also the spells I need at sorcerer levels or earlier. (I need haste and Telekinesis, BTW) Or perhaps a good way to get them as spell-like abilities without a huge LA or racial HD?
And does the progression have a good potential to be helpful in battle?
*The leveling structure would look like this: sorcerer 6 / SB 6 / MUH 4 - and after that finish out SB. I really want to play it as a whisper gnome, but only time will tell.
