How does the rogue's Minor Magic actually work?


Rules Discussion


How does the rogue's Minor Magic actually work? They are not quite innate spells, they do not mention being trained in such cantrips, and no spellcasting ability modifier is listed for them. Did I miss a rule on how they work?


It is an interesting class feat. You get 2 cantrips you can cast but aren't trained per se. It is just a unique rogue ability.

You don't get the benefits of a multi-class dedication either.

Not sure on why you'd take this over a spellcasting dedication though. I guess you could take it and retrain if you wanted to multiclass later.


I'd say that it uses your class DC. since they are from a class ability and all.

OR they actually are innate and they just forgot to mention it in the feat description.

it's either one or the other.

It does have the benefit over MC that you don't need the respective mental score to pick up any tradition you like and it doesn't "lock you" in a MC archetype.

I’d say shroudb is right in that those Cantrips were likely meant to be innate spells as page 302.
