[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8194773, member: 27385"] I did find the Arcane Trickster ability to use mage hand to open locks and pick pockets ok and it helped a few times in other situations. At 13th level you can use it to gain advantage on attacks which is handy for backstab. It does not look like you will get that high level with it though. I found the spell list limitations to force me into taking utility and defense spells. Shield, Invisibility, things like this. The PC was played more thief and less caster though, so the spells only assisted him in the thief part of things. If you are planning to take AT for the casting part, I would skip it, maybe some of the other things like mage hand or thief abilities makes multiclassing worth it. Take it up to 3rd level, but 5th in any class grants cool things, so maybe 5th. But then at 7th another cool thing if you need to make dex saves a lot. You could go level 7/7 instead of 11/3, but 7/7 is not the same as any one at 14th level. [/QUOTE]
