Legendary Sylvan Trickster

 I like the Legendary revised classes from Legendary Games, and the Legendary Rogue is one of the best. Not every existing archetype was adapted for it, though, so I’m trying to fill the gaps!

Legendary Sylvan Trickster

Class Skills: A sylvan trickster adds Knowledge (nature) to her list of class skills and learns Sylvan as a bonus language. She does not gain Knowledge (dungeoneering) as a class skill.

This alters the rogue’s class skills.

Wild Empathy (Ex): A sylvan trickster can improve an animal’s attitude. This ability functions as the druid ability of the same name, using the sylvan trickster’s rogue level as her effective druid level.

This replaces the 1st-level skill specialty.

Fey Tricks: A sylvan trickster can select a witch hex in place of a rogue talent (included the 1st-level inherent talent). At 10th level, the sylvan trickster can select a hex or major hex in place of a rogue talent. At 18th level, a sylvan trickster can select a hex, major hex, or grand hex in place of a rogue talent. She cannot select any hex more than once.

This alters rogue talents.

Eldritch Secrets: When a sylvan trickster chooses the major magic or minor magic rogue talents, she must choose a spell of the appropriate level from the witch spell list instead of the sorcerer/wizard spell list. A sylvan trickster cannot change these spells using the magical revision rogue talent or any similar ability that makes use of a spellbook. However, when the sanctified rogue gains a new major magic or minor magic talent she can spend a day in meditation to change any of the witch spells she can cast using major magic or minor magic into witch spells of the appropriate levels.

Resist Nature’s Lure (Ex): At 4th level, a sylvan trickster gains resist nature’s lure as the druid ability of the same name.

This replaces the 4th-level instinct.

Fey Resistance (Ex): At 8th level, a sylvan trickster gains DR 2/cold iron. At 11th level and every 3 levels thereafter, this damage reduction increases by 2 (to a maximum of DR 10/cold iron at 20th level).

This replaces the 8th-level instinct.
