So, I was thinking of a character for a drow campaign, and I came upon this little thought: since a drow gets natural spell-like abilities, couldn't you qualify for Arcane Trickster with only three rogue levels and a level in a spellcasting class??
Regular drow get Darkness, which is a level 2 arcane spell, and nobles get levitate, so they qualify for that part. They'd need 3 levels of rogue for the sneak attack, and one level of spellcasting class for casting mage hand.
But wait, one of the rogue talents grants you a 0-level spell to use. So a Drow rogue could qualify for Arcane trickster at level 3 with NO spellcasting class, except for the skill reqs. Right!?
I really want to see how people respond before I say more!
