In particular, whats up with the arcane tickster? They are all about that mage hand, yet they dont get it by default, but can choose to pick it or any other cantrip from their list.
to be fair, that is exactly how arcane trickster is in the phb. you don't get mage hand as extra cantrip, you have to use one of you cantrip choices for mage hand.
wrong.
In PNP, they get mage hand plus 2 more cantrips. says so in the PHB, top of page 98
i just looked it up and i stand corrected. i have no idea, where i got that idea from...
