Races: Humans and Elves are most common to become Spellthieves, however any race is able to become one if they wish.Ĭopycat, What's a spell material? Doesn't come naturally, what's a rune? In settings where magic is very scarce, if you have no mage already in the party, or if you already have a rogue-like class in your party, running a Spellthief is not reccomended.Ībilities: Dexterity and Charisma are most important for a Spellthief, as their casts, like a sorcerer will be based off of their Charisma score. The Spellthief is strongest when fighting against enemy casters, or if you want to work with a wizard or sorcerer in your party to double up on your party's magic output.

I didn't know the class existed in expansion publications as I found no search results. Note from creator: This is not the Spellthief from Complete Adventurer, and could be considered a variant.

The Spellthief focuses on being an anti-mage, as an enemy caster may cast a spell, allowing The Spellthief to copy it into their spell list (either temporarily or permanently, depending on level, and power of spell), and then later do something such as counter the spell by casting it as a counterspell. However, a rare and powerful magic laid dormant in them, and when tapped into it, they found that they could copycat and sometimes actually steal the spells of others at some points.

The Spellthief tends to be those that are in and of themselves magically inert, or didn't possess much magical prowess by themselves when trying to learn spells for themselves.
