Arcane Trickster

From bg3.wiki
Arcane Tricksters are rogues with a clever touch of magic, using illusions and enchantments to keep their opponents on the back foot.

*One spell learned at this level can be from the entire Wizard Spell List, the chosen spell must still be of a level for which the Arcane Trickster has spell slots for. (This is in contrast to the normal Arcane Tricksters Spell List, which only contains the Enchantment and Illusion spells of the Wizard Spell List)

NB: Starting from the fourth level, every Arcane Trickster level gained also grants the option for one known spell to be replaced by another. This replacement spell is chosen from the entire Wizard Spell List, said replacement spell must still be of a level for which the Arcane Trickster has spell slots for.

Arcane Trickster Spell List

Arcane Trickster's Spell List is the same as the Wizard's, but with only non-cantrip spells from the schools of Enchantment or Illusion plus every wizard cantrip. However, Arcane Tricksters may learn a spell from the entire wizard spell list at levels 3 and 8. The Replacement Spell Feature also allows an Arcane Trickster to swap any known spell with any spell from the full wizard spell list, once per level starting at class level 4.

The following spell list is the limited version. For the full list of Wizard spells from every spell school, see Wizard Spell List.
