In fact, Beguilers can spontaneously cast Mage Armor, which is something I'd wager Tagan knows... but not something Randal is likely to have learned.   (in fact, he probably has no idea what Toria can do... save what he's witnessed)<br/><br/>I do like Beguilers, however.  They're a really good arcane roguish class... and since our party is short a rogue, that's a good thing.  They're both simple to play and complex.  They're kind of the opposite numbers of Warmages... (which I also like... although I play neither class regularly, they're two of my favorite classes to have in a party with me, thanks to their surprising versatility...)
