RequirementsSkills: 8 ranks each in any 3 of the following: Bluff, Disable Device, Disguise, Forgery, Sleight of Hand, Use Magic Device
Spellcraft: 4 ranks
Special: Must have escaped a dangerous situation through trickery (GM's decision).
Abilities: Charisma is important to the trickster, as it is their spellcasting ability. Most tricksters have a good Dexterity as well, since they favor agility and speed over heavy armor. Beyond this, there are no hard rules - tricksters are a varied lot, no two alike.
Hit Die: d6
Class Skills: Appraise (Int), Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con) Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Disable Device (Int), Disguise (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Forgery (Int), Gather Information (Cha), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (local) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Open Lock (Dex), Search (Int), Sleight of Hand (Dex), Spellcraft (Int), Spot (Wis), Tumble (Dex), Use Magic Device (Cha) and Use Rope (Dex).
Skill Points: 6 + Int mod.
Weapon & Armor Proficiencies: A trickster does not gain any weapon or armor proficiencies.
Spells: A trickster casts arcane spells, which are drawn from the trickster spell list. A trickster can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time.
To learn or cast a spell, a trickster must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + spell level. A trickster's Charisma score provides bonus spells and modifies the save DC of his spells.
Armored Caster (Ex): A trickster can cast arcane spells derived from trickster levels while wearing light armor with no spell failure chance. If the trickster wears heavier armor or carries a shield, the spell failure chance applies normally. It also applies normally if the trickster casts arcane spells derived from another class.
Sneak Attack (Ex): As the rogue ability.
Trapfinding (Ex): As the rogue ability.
Tricks (Ex): At 2nd level the trickster learns a trick, which may be selected from the list below. All tricks are extraordinary abilities. Unless otherwise specified, a specific trick may be learned only once. A trickster learns new tricks at levels 4, 7 and 10
Good Fortune (Ex): At 3rd level the trickster becomes supernaturally lucky. Once per day he may re-roll any d20 roll, but he must accept the new result, even if worse than the old. This decision must be made before the success or failure is known.
At 6th and 9th levels the trickster gains additional daily uses of this ability. However, a trickster can never use good fortune more than once on any given die-roll.
This power is identical to, and stacks with, the granted power of the Luck domain.
