Pathfinder is a tabletop RPG based off of the 3.5 Ruleset of Dungeons and Dragons. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is the second adaption of a Pathfinder Adventure Path. Pathfinder: Kingmaker is the first Pathfinder game to make it to the PC. (Full Disclosure: I developed a arcane tricker-inspired magus archetype, the spiderhawk, for Paizo Fans United's Wayfinder #10, a free download available from Paizo's webstore.The subreddit for all things Pathfinder CRPG. And heck, it's only $2, what more do you want? Purple Duck's Carl Cramér has done an admirable job stitching the best of two core classes and prestige class together into a well-balanced and fun whole. While the arcane trickster prestige archetype has some limitations, a strategic player that avoids front-line combat can make this class shine. And since those spells aren't on your AT spell list, the AT PC will need to be UMDing to cast them from a scroll or staff, with all the hazards that involves. But the biggie is your spell access caps at 6th level spells that means no casting the 7th-9th heavy hitter spells. And unlike a magus or summoner, spells remain at same level as a wizard, so you and your party have to wait for haste and similar frequently-used/party favorite spells. Spell level progression is the same as a bard or magus: you don't get 2nd level spells until your 4th character level, 3rd level spells unlock at 7th character level, etc. The main limitation the AT base class will feel are the spells. Still, there are ways to make it work, but the AT player will need a cooperative party to help set up the SA opportunities (no Leeroy Jenkins need apply). The AT's best sneak attack option, surprise spells, doesn't kick in until 14th level, and it still requires the target to be flat-footed. Worse, if you're attacking with weapons, you aren't casting spells, which should be your main attack option. But ATs, like rogues, normally need to be adjacent to an opponent to sneak attack, and that means the tough critter or melee-er will likely be counterattacking a still quite squishy arcane trickster. It's easier for an AT who can pop off invisibility and vanish spells, especially from a wand or scroll without needing a UMD check. Well, sneak attack sounds good, but any rogue knows that you need a flat-footed or flanked opponent to get it. It also has all the nifty trickster abilities from its prestige class sibling. PDG's arcane trickster base class inherits a ¾ BAB, good Reflex and Will saves, a large number of class skills + 4 ranks/level, access to a number of rogue talents, sneak attack progression up to +9d6, and the prepared wizard spell list/spell from both its parents (rogue and wizard). but as implemented, has always lagged behind the other class options in magic power, physical combat prowess, and survivability. The arcane trickster prestige archetype that originated in D&D 3.x and was updated in the Pathfinder core book has always appealed to many players wanting a sneakier, rogue-ish mage. Purple Duck's prestige archetypes are simply the familiar prestige classes converted into full 20-level base classes. Breakdown: 1 page each for cover, credits & intro, and OGL statement + 5½ pages detailing the arcane trickster base class + ¼ page favored class bonuses + 2¼ pages for sample character at 1st, 5th, 10th, and 15th levels = 11 pages total.
