Hey everyone, I've been reading the APG and I'm about to build my character for an upcoming Agents of Edgewatch campaign. I'd like to create a halfling eldritch trickster rogue, most probably with a sorcerer dedication. My abilities should be Str 10, Dex 16, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 18. A few questions I've been asking myself, with no answers so far:
1) Which bloodline should I take? Thematically speaking, I think both the Shadow bloodline and the Genie (djinni) bloodline would fit in very well. After all, Deception is going to be a very important skill for me. But then, what's the best magic tradition: occult (shadow) or arcana (genie)?
2) Which cantrip should I use with Magical Trickster? As far as I can understand, I need a cantrip with the Attack trait (I have to make a spell attack roll to add sneak attack damage), so electric arc and chill touch are not an option. I think produce flame would be better than telekinetic object, because the former can be cast both in melee and as a ranged attack, but I'm not really sure.
3) Apart from cantrips, which would be the best attack spells to take as I level up? If I remember correctly, most attack spells take 2 actions, so it would make sense for them to be quite powerful if I have to forego 2 weapon attacks... so, maybe the arcana tradition would give me better attack spells but the occult list would provide more utilities?
Thanks for your suggestions, have a good game!
