Mobile - Extra speed is good for a Gnome.That will only leave room for two or three other boosts if we play all the way to level 20. If we are using point buy that gives us three choices in the PHB - High Elf, Half-Elf and Forest Gnome.įeats/ASI: We are going to get Dex 20, Lucky and Resistance (Con). Reaction: (4) Shield (5) Uncanny Dodge (6) Feather Fall (17) Spell ThiefĪ trickster wants good Dex and Int as well as Dark Vision, after all it is hard to sneak around carrying a torch. Rogues get lots of choice for using a Bonus action and Reaction as we go up levels.īonus: Off-hand Attack (2) Dash Disengage Hide Mage Hand (13) Versatile Trickster Best spot for multi-class is level six but if we have a game where we expect to spend a long time in Tier 1 we can also dip at level 2.
Trickster does not need to multi-class but a single level of Wizard gives a big boost with access to all first level spells, ritual casting and we can trade out our known spells for more Second Level options.
It is not the most powerful but is a lot of fun. The Arcane Trickster is my favorite sub-class in Fifth Edition D&D.
