About these subclasses

The Arcane Trickster is back for vengeance and even more knowledge! Inspired directly from D&D, the Daggerheart’s Arcane Trickster shows its magic hand by taking notes directly from grimoires, enhancing the rogue’s already deadly repetoire.

Foundation

First Assignment: Choose a level 1 grimoire domain card or lower. Then, choose one spell in that grimoire's list. You may use that spell as if you had the domain card in your loadout. You may swap this spell with another that qualifies when you level up.

Vanishment: Spells performed by you while cloaked cannot be seen or heard by others. Dealing damage or forcing a roll reveals you as normal.
