===Class Features===

All of the following are [[SRD:Class|Class]] Features of the arcane trickster [[SRD:Prestige Class|prestige class]].

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Arcane tricksters gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor.

'''Spells per Day:''' When a new arcane trickster level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in a spellcasting [[SRD:Class|class]] he belonged to before adding the [[SRD:Prestige Class|prestige class]]. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that [[SRD:Class|class]] would have gained, except for an increased effective level of spellcasting. If a character had more than one spellcasting [[SRD:Class|class]] before becoming an arcane trickster, he must decide to which [[SRD:Class|class]] he adds the new level for purposes of determining spells per day.

'''Ranged Legerdemain:''' An arcane trickster can perform one of the following [[SRD:Class|class]] skills at a range of 30 feet: [[SRD:Disable Device Skill|Disable Device]], [[SRD:Open Lock Skill|Open Lock]], or [[SRD:Sleight of Hand Skill|Sleight of Hand]]. Working at a distance increases the normal [[SRD:Skill Check|skill check]] [[SRD:DC|DC]] by 5, and an arcane trickster cannot take 10 on this check. Any object to be manipulated must weigh 5 pounds or less.

An arcane trickster can use ranged legerdemain once per day initially, twice per day upon attaining 5th level, and three times per day at 9th level or higher. He can make only one ranged legerdemain [[SRD:Skill Check|skill check]] each day, and only if he has at least 1 rank in the skill being used.

'''Sneak Attack:''' This is exactly like the [[SRD:Rogue|rogue]] ability of the same name. The extra damage dealt increases by +1d6 every other level (2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th). If an arcane trickster gets a sneak attack bonus from another source the bonuses on damage stack.

'''Impromptu Sneak Attack:''' Beginning at 3rd level, once per day an arcane trickster can declare one melee or [[SRD:Ranged Attack|ranged attack]] he makes to be a sneak attack (the target can be no more than 30 feet distant if the impromptu sneak attack is a [[SRD:Ranged Attack|ranged attack]]). The target of an impromptu sneak attack loses any [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] bonus to [[SRD:AC|AC]], but only against that attack. The power can be used against any target, but creatures that are not subject to [[SRD:Critical Hit|critical hits]] take no extra damage (though they still lose any [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] bonus to [[SRD:AC|AC]] against the attack).

At 7th level, an arcane trickster can use this ability twice per day.

==EPIC ARCANE TRICKSTER==

'''[[SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Die]]:''' d4

'''Skill Points at Each Additional Level:''' 4 + [[SRD:Intelligence|Int]] modifier

'''[[SRD:Spells|Spells]]:''' The epic arcane trickster’s [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] increases by 1 per level gained above 10th. The epic arcane trickster continues to gain new [[SRD:Spells|spells]] per day (and [[SRD:Spells|spells]] known, if applicable) at each new level, up to the maximum [[SRD:Spells|spells]] per day and [[SRD:Spells|spells]] known of the arcane spellcasting [[SRD:Class|class]] to which the arcane trickster belonged before adding the [[SRD:Prestige Class|prestige class]].

'''Sneak Attack:''' The epic arcane trickster’s sneak attack damage increases by +1d6 every 2 levels above 10th.

'''Impromptu Sneak Attack:''' The arcane trickster may use this ability one additional time per day for every 4 levels above 7th.

'''Ranged Legerdemain:''' The arcane trickster may use this ability one additional time per day for every 4 levels above 9th.

'''Bonus [[SRD:Feats (Creature Statistic)|Feats:]]''' The epic arcane trickster gains a bonus [[SRD:Feats|feat]] selected from the list of epic arcane trickster [[SRD:Feats|feats]]) every 4 levels after 10th.

''Epic Arcane Trickster Bonus [[SRD:Feats|Feat]] List:'' [[SRD:Automatic Silent Spell|Automatic Silent Spell]] [[SRD:Automatic Still Spell|Automatic Still Spell]], [[SRD:Blinding Speed|Blinding Speed]], [[SRD:Epic Skill Focus|Epic Skill Focus]], [[SRD:Improved Combat Casting|Improved Combat Casting]], [[SRD:Improved Sneak Attack|Improved Sneak Attack]], [[SRD:Improved Spell Capacity|Improved Spell Capacity]], [[SRD:Lingering Damage|Lingering Damage]], [[SRD:Self-Concealment|Self-Concealment]], [[SRD:Sneak Attack of Opportunity|Sneak Attack of Opportunity]], [[SRD:Spell Knowledge|Spell Knowledge]], [[SRD:Spell Opportunity|Spell Opportunity]], [[SRD:Spell Stowaway|Spell Stowaway]].
