Description
WARNING: This build is incredibly lacking in power until level 8. You will probably need group assistance or hirelings.
This is a Magic Missile spamming Arcane Trickster, plain and simple.
It has access to group CC using Greater Shout stolen spell, spot Crowd Control with Slap and Presto for fun.
The race you choose doesn't matter too much. I've only picked Gnome because it offers Int as a bonus starting stat if you don't have any AP to spend in the racial tree. With more points to spend I would recommend using Dhampir or Eladrin.
If you think any part of this build would be better if it were different, I encourage you to try it out. Everyone has different preferred playstyles and build preferences that will affect the optimal path for them to play.
Unique Requirements
Tomes: DEX 7
Other: If you don't have at least a +7 Dex Tome, you can either spend your level 1-20 level stat increases on Dex using a +2 Tome, Reduce your Con to increase your Dex, or give up on Improved/Legendary Sneak Attack.
