I'm a little confused as to exactly what spells an Arcane Trickster can take.  From their description, it says that the learn enchantment and illusion spells, but in the Cantrips section of the Arcane Trickster, they learn mage hand and can choose two other cantrips of my choice from the wizard's spell list.

So, could I, for example, learn an evocation spell instead?  Or can the only spells an AT can learn has to be enchantment and illusion?

It's sepperated to not get these confused. ^^'

 

Cantrips: Mage Hand and two others of your choice from the wizard cantrip list. No further restrictions.

 

Spell Known of 1st level and higher: Illusion or Enchantment wizard spells, except on 8th, 14th and 20th level, where you can choose a spell from any school, but still the wizard's list.

 

In the end (20th level) you'll have Mage Hand, 3 witzard cantrips of your choice, 10 wizard spells of the enchantment or illusion school of magic and 3 wizard spells of any school of magic.

Cool beans.  Illusion and Enchantment are pretty cool to begin with and very useful for rogues anyway.  I wasn't aiming on being a fireball-throwing rogue.  Would have just gone sorc or wiz for all that.

Well, time to start thinking.  Thanks for answering!
