[QUOTE="Allistar1801, post: 7607031, member: 6977279"] So recently I had the urge to play a rogue again and then I started to think about a build. Because I had gotten a bit tired of my playgroup's usual murder-hobo style I wanted to do a lot more deception, and investigation type stuff. This all got me looking into the arcane trickster and the awesome uses for their spells in tandem with some tactical wit. Core build wise I was thinking about the usual studded leather, rapier, dagger, and crossbow stuff, but just accent it with some magic and trap making in order to stack the deck in my favor. I was also trying to come up with some creative uses for spells and wanted to run them by the forums and get some more ideas My cantrips are Mage Hand, Shape Water, and Minor illusion. My first levels are Disguise Self, Silent Image, and Find Familiar Mage hand is obvious and its required but I really like the versatility that it offers. Along the same lines shape water can be used to do a lot of stuff (break locks by freezing water inside of them, make fake blood by changing the color and stuff). Also minor illusion because making a sound far away or making an image of the guy who was standing watch directly before being stabbed can be pretty useful. Silent image is basically the same as minor illusion but a bit more flexible and has a wider area. Find familiar and disguise self were pretty much just because nothing else looked interesting, plus a quick disguise and another set of eyes can never hurt. I really have no idea how to implement them in a higher capacity though so if y'all have any creative ideas for how these spells can be used they would be much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
