Magical Pranksters? (Combat) Trapsmith and Spellthief?

[NineThePuma]

Just curious to hear of any interesting builds or tricks the Playground has.

Spellthief comes up a lot and I always suggest taking 3 levels of Arcane Trickster so you can steal any spell you want for free once a day. :smallamused:

Spellthief is great for entering trapsmith and therefore able to enter Swiftblade too!

Nope. Swiftblade requires you use 3rd level slots to cast haste. Trapsmith casts haste with 1st level slots.

The designer of the Swiftblade came out and said he really meant haste from any level and endorsed the use of Trapsmith. That is as close to errata you will get for a web-class.

Spellthief 9/ Mindbender 1/ Shadowcraft Mage 5/ Earth Dreamer 5 - add in the Master Spellthief feat and go nuts.

Having no 3rd level slots means you've used them all to cast Haste! :smallbiggrin:

Heighten Spell can fix that right up. Good point for players with ornery DMs though.
