Am I the only one around who feels that the game is lacking this concept, somehow?
I am currently playing a Wizard(exploiter) 3 / Unchained Rogue 1 / Arcane Trickster X, as it's the closest I could get to the original idea.
Bard would have been great too, if only it was based off INT and slightly less focused on artsy performance
I liked the 3.5 Beguiler, that was pretty close too.
Anyway - I feel like I cannot properly represent my character concept with existing rules.
Character concept is... well imagine someone gave you this task:
"Make a hybrid class that is half bard and half arcane trickster, INT based and spontaneous"
How would you make this work with existing rules? Is it even possible?
NOTE 1: no, bard/trickster is still cha based, do not want. Must be INT based
NOTE 2: Sage Sorcerer is INT based and spontaneous, which is really cool. Unfortunately it has nothing to do with the subtlety of bards and rogues

For Spontaneous Int casting, I'd suggest looking at the Occultist, Psychic, Psychic Detective Investigator Archetype, or the Questioner Investigator Archetype (which gets spontaneous Int-based Bard casting).
You might also like the Puppetmaster Magus, an illusion focused Magus who can get access to Bard spells.
The questioner investigator is the closest so far. I like it a lot. Thank you very much!
Make the bard's spellcasting Int-based, give him a spellbook. I'm not sure about the spell list. Maybe use the wizard list or make a custom list. This would be considered an increase in spellcasting power, so also reduce skill points to 4 (since he's Int-based now) and alter bardic performance to make it less powerful.

If homebrew is on the table, I suggest you take a look at Ertw's beguiler from the conversion board, which has an option for an int-based bard archetype.

All of that is awesome. Thank you.

Glad I could help out!
