Eldritch Trickster Class Archetype

[CookieLord]

I've been working on an Eldritch Trickster Class archetype as an alternative to the legacy Rogue Racket.

My main concern now is the cost of giving the rogue bounded spellcasting, which I currently have as losing the bonus skill feats also, I'm not sure if it should be spontaneous or prepared spellcasting.

To the last point, I personally think that prepared spellcasting makes more sense for a rogue. Perhaps using a Spellbook like a Spellshot would?

As for the cost, like the aforementioned spellshot, requiring archetype feats to advance your spellcasting is probably cost enough. Removing the bonus skill feats might be too great a cost to warrent the archetype for the average rogue player, but playtesting could give you a better idea on how much is too much.

So the problem is I don't want to give them the archetype feats, I want to give them full bounded spellcasting akin to the Magus or Summoner.
