Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dark Dragon" data-source="post: 68102" data-attributes="member: 1115">Er - not in case of the AT. Each level gained in that PrC means his casting abilities rise a level. To fullify the skill requirements (Escape Artist, Disable Device, Decipher Script each 7 ranks, Knowledge Arcana 4 ranks) the char takes his first three levels as a rogue to bring the EA, DD and DS to 6 ranks, and spends the other points for whatever. The following 5 levels he'll take Sor/Wiz (or Brd 6 lvls), rising the required skills to 7 or 4 and getting a level 3 spell at last. At level 9, the char takes his 1st level as an AT, gaining a sneak attack damage of +5d6 (2d from the rogue and 3d from the AT) PLUS spell casting ability of a lvl 6 mage...too much IMO.Right, if choosing a PrC, you'll loose some ability progression of the base class, but you'll gain something from the prc. The abilities of the AT are not only pick pockets but also to deliver sneak attacks from a distance (impromtu sneak attack, and sneak attacks with rays!) and open locks / remove traps from a secure place. Not to mention his growing sor/wiz spellcasting ability and sneak attack damage.There's an errata for the AT on the WotC-page, FAQ-site.</blockquote>
