Editing Spellthief (section)

==Master Spellthieves==
There is ''one'' way to Theurge a spellthief, progressing some of its class abilities while gaining other useful abilties. The feat Master Spellthief introduced in Complete Scoundrel allows a character capable of casting level 2 arcane spells and with the Steal Spell ability to add their arcane caster level to their Spellthief level to determine the level of spells they can steal and their arcane caster level. Therefore a wizard 5/Spellthief 1 could steal spells like a level 6 spellthief and cast arcane spells at caster level 6.

This makes spellthief a good dip for arcane builds focusing on dealing sneak attack damage. Therefore a spellthief dip synergises very well with an Unseen Seer or Arcane Trickster, or even just a Spellwarp Sniper who wants to start stealing spells from his targets. Rogue builds that take some arcane spellcasting - including from PrCs like Assassin or Telflammar Shadowlord - sometimes also take a spellthief level to start stealing lv 1-3 spells from their targets, or even to benefit from those awesome Personal-only buff spells the party spellcasters can get like Divine Power or Bite of the XXX. Yes, this mostly reduces spellthief to a dip class in otherwise superior builds. It does keep the spellthief's main ability, which is all that many players want.
