…Spellthief!
   So kid you’ve chosen to become informed on spellthief class trainers. You can call me Pokemon Master Arz. As a spellthief I earned that title in the matchless tradition of all adventurous trainers and stole it. Writing this primer and reviewing my notes has given me a smirk for every caper I linked. Before I go any further I’d like to thank all who went before me, especially those I forgot or lost links, for helping to inspire future trainers. In that line, please comment if you found a trick or were led astray by this primer on your journey.
   Now a spellthief is unlike any other adventurous class in that its focus is finding and dismantling magic items and pokemon. Your signature ability is to swipe the spells and effects of your challengers. If your journey’s rivals and problems are normal then you should not be playing a spellthief. Alternatively, journey’s that feature caster teams and magic type obstacles can be a road to becoming a master spellthief. So if you wish to make caster class trainers cry bloody tears of frustration please read on.

[Arz]

Hit Die: D6 is low and this class is very MAD making your hit points very low as a melee flanker trying to sneak attack.
Skills: Fair amount of skill points but some odd exemptions in the list can make certain tests difficult.
BAB: Average. Don’t worry, most leagues offer items that can salve your weaknesses.
Saves: Poor in fortitude and reflex, use your willpower to battle on.
Weapons and Armor: Only simple and light, not even shields. Can cast your spells in light armor though.
Attacks:
Sneak Attack: Fuels all later features and not especially difficult to improve. Mostly spent in debuffing don’t expect to assist in damage battles.
Steal Spell (1st-9th): The main utility here is balling in one battle to choose it for the next. Also use this to reduce the attack commands of your casters in team battles. Keep a careful on your storage level as absorb spell will also factor into this number.
Trapfinding: You will be too light on skills to make use of it. Retrain this at the first opportunity.
Detect Magic: Useful at low levels and later basically at will. This mostly covers trapfinding and keeps you aware of dangerous pokemon.
Spellgrace: Mainly for raising saves to absorb spells. Small and infrequent bonus type.
Steal Spell Effect: This can be absolutely devastating in a test of buffs. Even if you can’t steal personal or limited target spells you can deny their effective use to your challenger. Maximize your level and charisma to power this attack.
Steal Energy Resistance: If your challenger has it, you are likely to need it soon. Doesn’t lower immunity though. Very slow progression and not something you can pass on to your team.
Spells: Cast spells as sorcerer of half your level from a specialist wizard list (no conjuration, evocation, or necromancy). Steal and later absorb spell should assure that you won’t run out of slots outside of battle. Although you have a half CL, your biggest problem is the small known list. More spells known equals better versatility with absorb/steal spell.
Steal Spell-like Ability (1st-6th): SLA attacks come from range of race, class, item, or special training. This is useful with allies and enemies and its utility can make this attack your most potent ability. Mind that you only suppress the ability during the time limit of this attack.
Absorb Spell: Now you can defensively gain spell slots. Your main defensive ability that is sorely limited to single target spells with saves. Yet its true use isn’t so obvious; unlimited spell slots gained via @ will casters and items. If you train up to the immediate casting attack, just remember that you aren’t restricted to standard attack spells to cast. Drop a spell that has ritual charging time for gob-smacking effect.
Arcane Sight: Very late and not the most generally useful divination SLA but it is swiftly cast.
Discover Spells: This eliminates the guessing game you have been playing. Bust a challenger’s strategy, make DM cry.
Steal Spell Resistance: Stacking this with similar attacks is pure win for casters on your team. Average SR at this point is lvl+8 so this can be a potent equalizer.

Breakpoints: 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18.

ACF:

Mimic (EoE): This is a good trade every time because after level 5 smart trainers can take the time to use it @ will.
Psithief (CA): Spells become powers, SLA turn into PLA, choose powers from Psion/Wilder list (no metacreativity or psychokinesis), learn 1 power/level (except learn 2 @ 4/8/11/14), SR equals PR, and exchange arcana/spellcraft/UMD for psionics/psicraft/UPD. Then use the paladin/ranger column to determine power points. If you ignore the prohibition of power augmentation (PLA may still use augments) this becomes average. On the plus side metapsionics is more useful than its magical counterpart and removing components for sneakiness is a breeze.
Skilled City Dweller: Trading Gather Information for Handle Animal is useful for pokemon masters. Knowledge (nature) is more frequently used to identify creatures than local. Tumble should hardly ever need replacing with ride.

Cursed Blow (Dragon353): Give up sneak attack die and spell slots for short duration bestow curse. I believe the penalty should be double the spell level as otherwise the saving throw is pointless. If so this is a true blue attack, able to inflict up to a -18 penalty after stealing a spell.
Hamper Magic (Dragon353): If you only lost steal energy resistance this would be good. Fair trade as a dip. Careful trainer, as it reduces effectiveness of steal spell yet can also stop supernatural abilities.
Spelleater (Dragon353): Healer! Is there no healing item in this dungeon battle? This is a skill for non-competitors.
Spellskill (Dragon353): Math failure! Restart your abacus please. Even the non-competitors are looking at you in shame and harassing you with hints.
Trickster (Dragon353): This is going to make multi-steals very difficult for you trainer. The hit in the skill list is especially vexing. This does make cursed blow really blue since that becomes a gain without loss. It isn’t the most powerful training in all journeys depending on the frequency of items and pokemon.

Base Classes:

Binder – Adds a bit of adaptability. Best for ranged.
Cleric – Avoid stealing from thineself; load out feats and supernatural.
Crusader – Damage soak, cha synergy, and maneuvers.
Divine Mind – All day flanker, hidden talent, mantle, and weapons.
Fighter – Hit & run, Kobold, or Sneak attack Thug.
Ranger – Arcane hunter, martial weapons, trapfinding, and weapon style.
Swashbuckler – Arcane stunt, martial weapons, and Weapon Finesse.
Swordsage – Always take arcane variant for a 5th level spell maneuver. Weapon Foci might help with prerequisites.
Totemist – Add a little beast to your fighting style.
Warblade – Int synergy and maneuvers.

 Prestige Classes:

Blackguard (DMG): Difficult entry but has charisma synergy, weapons, and sneak attack.
Dread Pirate (CV): Easy access for two weapon fighting and finesse weapons.
Fiend of Blasphemy (FF): Only notable for transfer spell-like abilities.
Gnome Paragon (UA): Might come in handy if you took the Trickster ACF. Kind of sketchy and weak unless you are really focused on illusion.
Hellbreaker (FC2): Steal a second spell-like ability and shut down telepaths. Also notable for robbing binders and other supernatural ability users.
Justiciar (CW): Specialize in soft take-downs.
Legacy Champion (WoL): Rebuild your trickster and gain bonus feats.
Maho-Tsukai (OA): Rebuild your spellcasting into a full caster and sacrifice hp/con for material/metamagic. Great dip if you can make the will saves.
Master of Masks (CS): Number of mask SLA stolen: 16; Assassination: priceless. 4 level dip. Archmage and High Priest increase CL.
Obstinate Soul (PCA2): The only reason to be a dwarf. A desert dwarf. A desert dwarf with expanded variable spell effects.
Occult Slayer (CW): Best for the two-handed weapon wielder.
Paragnostic Initiate (CC): Enhance the spell effects you steal through physical augmentation and deny safe casting with spell disrupter.
Sandshaper (Sand): A caster level boost and a huge list of known spells including flesh to salt.
Scarlet Corsair (Storm): Null investment feinting.
Scorpion Wraith (SoX): Steal the prerequisites and you too can ally with the darkness.
Tactical Soldier (Mini): Difficult and ugly prerequisites that do pay for themselves.
Unseen Seer (CM): Its hard to tell that you stopped taking spellthief levels.
Uncanny Trickster (CS): Lose one level and gain skills and tricks.
Witch Hunter (OA): Easy, yet late, entry for charisma synergy. Good skills.

Cohort:

Bard – Approximately a third of bardic music is an SLA. Note that many DC would be based on the bard’s performance ranks as per steal SLA.
Dragonfire Adept – Its invocations are weaker than a Warlocks. Better as a follower.
Factotum – Casts a limited amount of spells as SLA from the Sor/Wiz list. Great adaptability but limited in quantity.
Paladin – Stealing a special mount is a staggeringly singular calling. ( inside for paladin now) Many ACF are SLA and also has remove disease.
Shadowcaster – Mysteries are not as strong as invocations but some are uniquely useful. More useful as a follower because of the strange advancement into supernatural casting.
Truenamer – Utterances are SLA but the durations are mostly too short to be notable. Truename checks done, again, by the truenamer as per steal SLA.
Warlock – The best invocation user by quantity.

   Spellthieves have a problem in this area. Although they have access to a variety of spells to support this role, you are looking at 8 skills you’d like to max and only 6 points per level without even touching the trapfinding skills. Even worse there are some support skills you’d like to give a few ranks and disguise and sleight of hand that aren’t on your list. For all these reasons it is strongly advised you not take on the trapfinding skills.

Appraise (Int) – Have an underling do this for you if you find it important.
Bluff (Cha) – At least 5 ranks to get the synergy bonus but you should definitely consider maxing it.
Craft (Int) – Are you a dwarf? Then don’t put any ranks here that aren’t required.
Concentration (Con) – This is nearly as important as tumble but you hardly have the ranks to spare.
Decipher Script (Int) – 5 ranks here are good for the synergy bonus to Use Magic Device on scrolls.
Disable Device (Int) – 1 rank is sufficient as a backup. I advise alternate means of disabling traps.
Escape Artist (Dex) – There are better ways to get out of grapples and you won’t have the ranks to waste pulling a Houdini.
Gather Information (Cha) – Useful for social warfare depending on the campaign.
Hide (Dex) – You almost always want to max this skill to achieve your SA.
Jump (Str) – Don’t bother with this unless you need the synergy bonus for tumble.
Knowledge (arcana) (Int) – If you can spare 5 ranks for the synergy to spellcraft, otherwise one point is sufficient.
Knowledge (local) (Int) – Put 1 point here so you can do it trained and ignore it unless guilds or gather information checks are relevant to your campaign.
Listen (Wis) – Slightly less important than Spot.
Move Silently (Dex) – Just like Hide, you pretty much always want this as high as possible.
Open Lock (Dex) – 1 rank is sufficient as a backup. You should have a variety of other means around doors.
Search (Int) – Skip this as you really don’t have the points for the trapfinding role.
Speak Languages (None) – If you really want certain languages.
Spellcraft (Int) – Until you discover spells this is your only means of narrowing what spells to steal from a target.
Spot (Wis) – Max this if at all possible. Your perception skills are what keeps you from suffering rather than benefiting from a surprise round.
Swim (Str) – Don’t swim like a fish, become a fishman.
Tumble (Dex) – You usually need enough ranks to avoid AoOs all day, but there are rules for high DC checks that make you want to max this out. You can stand up from prone as a free action and even make 10-ft steps with high enough Tumble checks.
Use Magic Device (Cha) – This is hands down the most powerful skill in the game, and you want to max this skill out. There are plenty of great wands and scrolls that you need to supplement your casting.

Social Class (City):

Lower: Craft, Gather Information, Handle Animal, Knowledge (local), Profession.
Middle: Appraise, Craft, Knowledge (local, nobility), Profession.
Upper: Diplomacy, Knowledge (history, nobility), Ride, Speak Language.

Skill Tricks:
   Not really as useful for spellthieves as more mundane characters. The combat tricks use many a swift attack that you are already employing and as above, limited skill points. That said they have there uses and qualify you for uncanny trickster, which I’ll assume you’ve taken.

Magical Appraisal – Identify 1/day for 2 skill points. You decide.
Nimble Charge – Its main use, run away!
Up the Hill – Taking this guarantees you will see more difficult terrain.
Group Fake-out – If you like to feint, you probably won’t have the swift action to take on a group.
False Theurgy – This is good for when social turns to combat encounters.
Swift Concentration – This is nice to have for those duration spells you have on wands.
Assume Quirk – Deep cover agents need this even if its cross-class.
Second Impression – Rerolls are great even if they are cross-class.
Social Recovery – A second chance to use a skill you have better chances at succeeding.
Escape Attack – Potentially a swift attack while using Freedom of Movement.
Quick Escape – Only of use for squeezing.
Slipping Past – Ever wanted to jump out an arrow slit? Now you can.
Shrouded Dance – Very useful, but may not be necessary depending on spell selection.
Collector of Stories – Only if you are using knowledge devotion.
Listen to this – Compare and contrast 2 skill points in autohypnosis or this trick.
Mosquito’s Bite – This is even more useful for ranged attacks.
Sudden Draw – The situation will come up and you need to invest in item/ranks for this trick.
Clarity of Vision – Useful but you should have other ways of catching the invisible by now.
Point it Out – Assisting your mates so they don’t get shanked earns trust that you can abuse later.
Spot the Weak Point – Works best with ranged attackers considering there more limited flat-foot options.
Acrobatic Backstab – This becomes useful with free/swift movement.
Back on your Feet – Great interrupt against trippers.
Nimble Stand – Easier to acquire and nice back-up versus persistent trippers.

   Lastly, if using Teamwork benefits 1 rank in balance, climb, and survival will get you far  in your journey, even if not strictly necessary.

Okay trainer, smarten up! You are not primarily an arcane caster and should work with your team to refine your list to address their strategic concerns. League officials only allow 3 levels when you can retrain these choices. If you’ve read this far you should understand that there are a variety of hacks that spellthieves can employ.
Pokemon Master Arz follows these guidelines for spell selection: CL-dependent effect, multiple target, short duration, and combat quickened or multi-effect. Additionally many spells were dropped for being more useful as wands or being a caster combat action. If this hasn’t sunk in yet, spellthieves can spam spells during their journey outside of battle. This largely eliminates CL and duration as a concern for buffs. Also you won’t find many battle attack spells on the normal spellthief list and Pokemon Masters are not normal. As part of a team, restricting yourself to personal spells when you have unlimited slots just isn’t how a team works.
Now sometimes league officials are going to limit the limitless in sanctioned battles. So check those rules and stay bent but not broken. Your team and those officials should have a clear conversation on what difficulty tier you are battling.

[Arz]

Races:

Aasimar, Racial Class or lesser (PGtF): Outsider with good skills, bonus to charisma, martial weapons, and a mostly irrelevant cantrip SLA.
Azurin (MoI): Humans that give up skill for essentia.
Daelkyr-Halfblood (MoE): Aberration and as much share spell abuse as your DM will tolerate.
Deepwyrm Half-Drow (DM): Dragonblood and good for retaining trapfinding. Also worth mentioning scorpion tail spell.
Desert Kobold (UA): Claws, size bonus, martial weapons, and sorcerer spell of choice. Dragonwrought makes it blue.
Forest Gnome (MM): Quick razor, better illusions, SLA, scout bonuses, and pass without trace. Whisper, Svirfneblin, Stonehunter, or Desert are also good in specific cases.
Human (PHB): The standard.
Illumian (RoD): Uurkrau reduces MAD and boosts CL. Choose this race instead of the practiced spellcaster feat. Aeshuur and Vauluur have limited use.
Kalashtar (ECS): Social adepts with mindlink. Best use of shards and rewired tattoos.
Lesser Drow (PGtF): Similar to half-drow but adding weapons for lower CL. Racial class version has slightly better attributes and CL.
Neraphim (PH): Outsider providing flat-footing abilities and better weapons.
River Spirit Folk (OA): Amphibious and speak with fish.
Silverbrow Human (DM): Add feather fall and disguise to list and lose skill points.
Strongheart Halflings (PGtF): Humans with a height advantage.
Tibbit (Dragon): Small Monstrous humanoid (shapechanger) that impersonates familiars. Improves upon your physical scores and retains most equipment while still gaining finesse, NA, skill bonuses, plus SQ.

Marrulurk (Sand)3HD+1: Mainly for death attack but also has more SA, feats, and better weapons.
Phaerimm (LEoF)+2: Not as the PC but casting spells as SLA makes them an evil cohort.
Planetouched(FF, MM, MM2, PH)+1~2: Lesser Shyft or Feyri SLA is a winner if allowed at 0.
Sharn (AtEoS)4HD+5: Not as the PC but casting spells as SLA makes them an interesting cohort.

Templates:

Bloodlines (UA)+1~3: These will improve caster levels, steal spell effect, steal spell-like ability, absorb spell, and steal energy resistance. This can open up stealing 7th level spell-like abilities and higher. Steal spell does advance if you take the master spellthief feat. Not explicit or RAW, steal spell (level), steal energy resistance (degree), and absorb spell (immediate) might advance.
Shadow-Walker (UE)+1: Has a host of SLA at the cost of constitution and light blindness. Bad because you could be stealing all this without losing a level.
Quorbred (SoS)+2: Good immunities plus it stops spells, SLA, and supernatural abilities in melee. Unfortunately it makes you MAD and hinders charisma-based class abilities.
Spellwarped (MM3)+3: Gain beneficial effects when resisting spells. Bad because it may interfere with absorption.

Attributes:

Strength – Dump this and don’t look back.
Dexterity – It determines your reflex saves, AC, and often to-hit. It also raises many of your most important skills and many feats require a certain amount.
Constitution – This determines your survival rate, but you might be swapping bodies later or minimize your risk by keeping your distance.
Intelligence – You just don’t get enough points to cover your needs so you’ll want to raise this.
Wisdom – Often a dump stat but if you’ve covered your needs it will help your perception and will saves.
Charisma – This is your spellcasting stat and affects 3 class features.

Charisma>Dexterity=Constitution=Intelligence>Wisdom>Strength

Did you skip ahead? Well go back to the spell section and use these links to access other parts of the pokedex to gain more feats. They are a restricted resource that you need to train in wisely. Also check the magic section at your Pokemon Store in the following section for other smart buys.

Dragon Pact (DM):
   If you have a method to count as a sorcerer this is a great means of extending your spellcasting. Though you can sacrifice stolen slots you will anger the dragon if you can’t keep stealing the proper level of sacrifice. The best slots to sacrifice are the odd spell levels. None of the given pacts are great so I’d suggest using the sidebar guidelines to come up with your own.

Tactics, Tips, and Tricks

Tactics: Denying Dex to AC. Conditions that deny a character's Dexterity bonus to armor class are: Blinded, Comatose, Cowering, Flat-Footed, Grappling, Helpless, Paralyzed, Petrified, Pinned, Stunned, and Unconscious. Most of these will incidentally be achieved by allies, so pay attention to your party.

Tactics: Flanking. Get on the other side of a target from an ally and hit them in melee. Most parties will have other melee characters, pets or summons with which to flank.

Tactics: Generate Mana. Absorb/steal spell allow you to keep a pool of spell levels available in combination with @ will spells. The best sources of these are creatures and items. The ring of invisibility is the most infamous item of this type. As for critters, formian workers are the core winners at lowest CR. Use this mana to cast all your spells, all the time, out of combat.

Tactics: Trapping Mana. There are a couple of ways to keep mana around indefinitely. Quick potion can bottle it for hours and if nobody shows use energize potion to cap some wealth. Earthbound metamagic can make an hour long trap or a safety zone. Earthbinding takes forethought but can produce spectacular action economy whereas energized potions are free alchemical offense. The old invest or save conundrum.

Tactics: Trigger Charging. There is a lot of good advice on the proper use of staff/wands. Read up on it and pay special attention to acquisition/cost. Combining absorb/steal spell and channel charge will throw most of that advice out the window. Outside of combat you have no limit to the amount of charges available by converting mana. Basically this makes casting short duration buffs consecutively outside of combat possible. A reasonable use of this tactic is to put the long duration and/or personal buffs on trigger items and keep the short stuff in your known. It will really depend on your DM what your limit will be.

Tactics: Staff Siphon. Ever lament that you ran out of spell slots? These three things will eliminate those worries: Channel Charge, Siphon, and a Staff with a cantrip & 4th level spell. This allows you to exchange 5 stolen spell levels for 1 4th level or lower spell slot. Other tamers might have to rest for their spells but you can loot your foes and party all night.

Tip: Enemies are a treasure. Baleful polymorph/flesh to stone can permanently subdue casters. The difficult part is finding means to give your enemy preparation time without releasing them from that condition. As an animal though you can instruct them on the “trick” of spell preparation as a DC 20 Handle Animal check. You could then instruct it in the “purpose” of a pokemon.

Tip: Allies are a treasure. Obviously! So let’s compare a warlock and phaerimm cohort instead. At low to mid-levels the warlock’s personal buffs can’t be beat. Mid to high-levels the sheer versatility of the phaerimm’s known list eclipses its level adjustment. Keep in mind though that the warlock will remain the more potent blaster and flanker.

Tip: Aquaman. Steal speak with animals from any variety of creatures/casters and combine with: Listening Lorecall, True Strike (stolen from Fossergrim), and Aquatic Adaptation (stolen from Dragonfire Adept). Sonar and the ability to swim and speak like a fish are great but a Fossergrim’s True Strike is truly heroic. Constant attack bonus and the ability to ignore miss chances while underwater! Spellthief might be the most powerful class in aquatic campaigns at ECL 6.

Tip: Duplication of role. Two spells can duplicate most of your class abilities. Spell Theft (ECL 9) works as a ranged steal spell effect and Reaving Dispel (ECL 17) can effectively simulate many of your other steals. Take heart in the fact that you get there first and exploit absorbtion for mana recharging that is otherwise the province of psionics.

Tip: Metamagic Components. This variant makes a stolen SLA even more useful and slightly cumbersome to remember more variants. The only real problem is Heighten Spell makes it more difficult to steal in exchange.

Trick: Extra Spells Known. Fair warning, trainer, league officials hate pokedex hacks. That said, the method is simple and implementation is harsh. You’ll need to steal dragonblood spell-pact, one other spell, and learn an artifact spell (SoX). Cast dragonblood spell-pact and trade the artifact spell and stolen spell for two extra spells known. Repeat ad naseum to learn all 1-3+5 spells. Then you’ll probably be chased out of the league by every trainer you’ve defrauded and join team rocket. Suggestion can even make this seem like a good idea, at first.

Trick: Extend Supernatural. Every Hellbreaker has probably lamented that they can only gain one minute of a stolen supernatural ability. This is where the ability rip spell steps up as an extender. You lose the stolen supernatural ability to take another supernatural ability from a pokemon for at least 13 hours. Only problem now is generating an unlimited supply of 7th level spells. See trigger charging for the easiest method.

Trick: Item SLA. Certain items cast as SLA but its not possible to SA an item. However, you can ready an action to steal from an ally when he is using the item. Theoretically possible against an enemy but not really practical.

Trick: Weapon Proficiency. Steal or cast from a wand the assassin/wu jen spell fire shuriken. Now you are proficient with all fire shuriken created by anyone. Are you proficient with regular shuriken? Probably, but either way you are proficient with an exotic weapon. Shuriken!
