This is another collaboration with the inimitable Shayedd, this time she has redesigned Arcane Trickster to work better and fulfill the magical rogue fantasy in BG3 where all of it's 5e appeal is simply not applicable. We implemented this as it's own class called Alternate Arcane Trickster so that it does not replace the vanilla one or run into conflict with mods that do.
"Mage Hand isn't a viable thing to build an entire subclass around, the RP potential of it in 5e is non-existent in BG3 so we hoped to create something that kept the fun, sneaky magical style of play that one might associate with being an Arcane Trickster while making it more viable within BG3 compared to other available classes and subclasses." - Shayedd
