Another player in my campaign wants to use the homebrew Roguish Archetype "Ace", which is similar to Arcane Trickster except that it uses the Warlock spellcasting system (i.e., few spells, no lower-level spell slots), and I offered to implement it on here for them. Now, I was led to believe that giving the subclass a feature called "Pact Magic" would do this, similar to how a feature called "Spellcasting" grants normal-style spellcasting. However, it would seem that instead the feature simply grants the normal half-caster leveling table, exactly as it would as "Spellcasting".
Now, my suspicion is that this is not a simple bug, and that, in fact, D&D Beyond bakes a spellcasting style into every class, including non-casters. Rogue gets the standard spellcasting table to facilitate Arcane Trickster, while, say, Blood Hunter gets the Pact Magic table. Would I be correct in my assertions here?
If so, I suppose this is not so much a bug report as an architecture complaint, but, so far as I am aware, there's not a board for that.

Assuming you used arcane trickster as a template, did you remove or rename the spellcasting feature?
