NOTE: Tricksters can now be Arcane, or Divine. You will find them listed separately in game but they are the same class.

Tricksters combine their knowledge of magically enchanted items with a taste for intrigue, theft, treasure hunting, mischief and a host of other motivations. Many Arcane Tricksters are those who have found a good sneak attack useful, but have found reason to throw a fireball in on the odd occasion too. Variety is the spice of life, and the ability to create an unexpected illusion or attack is valued by many. Tricksters often learn how to deal with locks, traps, lore and magic before taking this class, and gain ways to improve these abilities as they grow. A number of organizations in the world sponsor the newly found lifestyle of the arcane trickster, whether they might be Human, Gnome or Chorav. The motivations of these organizations vary widely. This is, in recent years, a popular path for many Chorav. While the ability to disappear is something they already possess in many cases, they find more and more ways to please Faergol and wreak mischief by embracing the arcane.

He can use this ability twice per day at 5th level and three times per day at 9th level.

Sneak Attack: At every even numbered level (2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, adn 10th) the trickster gains an additional +1d6 to his sneak attack damage. This ability stacks with sneak attack dice from other classes.
