Table: The Arcane Trickster student Special: School class. The arcane trickster student must buy the feat Skill Focus (Disable Device) with one of his character level feats during his school time. If he has already bought the feat he may ignore this requirement.

Spells per Day: When a new arcane trickster school level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in a spellcasting class he belonged to before adding the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained, except for an increased effective level of spellcasting. If a character had more than one spellcasting class before becoming an arcane trickster, he must decide to which class he adds the new level for purposes of determining spells per day.

Sneak Attack: This is exactly like the rogue ability of the same name. The extra damage dealt increases by +1d6. If an arcane trickster student gets a sneak attack bonus from another source the bonuses on damage stack.

Metamagic feat: The arcane trickster student gains a bonus metamagic feat of his choice.
