[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 6700131, member: 4936"] And here she is! I backtracked from Arcane Trickster. For one, their levels are only counted as 1/3 towards overall caster level for slot purposes, not 1/2. For another I don't want to be a 5th level 'spellcaster' that only has 1st level spells. :) One level of rogue to represent the early game when she was a mundane hacker, then the rest is wizard with the Technomancer tradition. Since she was a hacker before a technomancer, and a rogue, the bonus proficiencies the tradition gives in sidearms and hacking tools are wasted...she already had those. But a spell-iPad is pretty cool! And they get some nice benefits later on. I invented a new specialization of the Criminal background called Hacker. It just swaps Stealth for Investigation, and swaps Hacker's Tools for Thief's Tools proficiency. Otherwise it's identical. Death Otter retains her uncanny ability to shoot for the weak spot with Sneak Attack and the 5e Technomancy spells are really REALLY cool, and spot-on for my inner concept for Otter. Right down to creating a 'ghost' copy of her own mind inside a computer and unleashing it to wreak havoc as a cover for her own nefarious doings. :) She is weaker in direct combat than I'd normally make a mage, with just Shocking Grasp, Magic Missile, and Sleep to take down opposition. This is partly because in combat she'd just as often use a gun. With her good Dex and Sneak Attack ability, she'll do more damage more consistently with a pistol than with a cantrip.
