[QUOTE="WanderingMystic, post: 8998621, member: 69157"] I agree and as much as I love the idea of the eldritch knight I just don't know if they will be able to make it work as 1/3 caster. For the arcane trickster while I personally might not like it all you are getting is some small tricks that help you sneak and decive people better. You can still sneak attack every round and rouge archetypes were never that strong as a lot of what you got was from the class itself. If I wanted an arcane stlye assassin then the psiblade works nicely for that. The eldritch knight to me was the old school gish, the dula class elven mage fighter from 2nd ed, your Githianki. Someone who wears armor, swings a sword but also casts an upkeep spell on himself and can pull out air or ranged spells when they need to. A 1/3 caster will never be able to compete. As they are now the fact that they have to sacrifice all of their attacks besides one means that the appeal of an 11th + level fights is wasted on them. This is why the bard and wizard who can swing a sword fills the role in a better way. If the arcetype have them 1/2 casting as well as just substituting an attack for a cantrips or maybe two attacks for a full spell then that would really go a long way to improve them [/QUOTE]
