I need help creating a charisma based caster that has a trickstery feel.
I have a second chance to play an Atomie in a home game. I was thrilled cuz I really wanted to try Arcane Trickster again, and my original campaign with it died at 3rd level.
But when I started looking at it I realized the change in the SLA ruling really gimped the whole thing. Instead of entering Arcane Trickster at 6th level, I'd have to wait until 8/9th. Er, no.
So I am looking for a way to creating something with a Trickstery feel, without necessarily going AT. Probably full caster, because at diminutive size it is really hard to do melee damage.
I am willing to try any caster that can be made to work with the given stats. I have recently played a number of blasty sorcerers so I don't really want to go that route again.
Here are the guidelines:
S: 6, D: 20, C: 10, I: 12, W: 10, Ch: 20
(I have a little play, but S6 and Ch20 are locked)
Diminutive 10" tall
+1d6 racial sneak attack damage. (GM ruling: will not stack with any other SA damage. Unchained Rogue banned.)
(With diminutive weapons, low strength and SA-- best melee damage is 2-2 +1d6)
Fly Speed 20'
Mage Hand and Dancing Lights SLA
Other racial SLAs will be given out at GMs discretion (invisibility, shrink item, reduce person)
Out of the box suggestions welcome: Druid, Sandman Bard, Cleric with Trickster domain. Just keep in mind that melee damage is nil, so it most likely has to be a caster, most likely with emphasis on charisma.
Many thanks for your thoughts.
just FYI, it is now possible to play a very early entry arcane trickster with only one caster level lost. This is due to a new feat: Accomplished Sneak Attacker
If you want to be charisma based, I suggest
Brawler (Snakebite Striker) 1 / Sorcerer 4 / Arcane Trickster 10

Piggy backing on this, it sounds like you might not need to take Snakebite Striker with the racial sneak attack. But I'm a little confused about the (GM ruling: will not stack with any other SA damage. Unchained Rogue banned.)
So maybe you would need Accomplished Sneak Attacker and Snakebite? Alternatively, you could use the Rogue Variant Multiclassing to get Sneak Attack without dropping any spellcaster levels and getting into Arcane Trickster. Bonus points if you can retrain
Oooh. Nice. Thank you.
