With approval from my DM I am literally changing the Rogue Arcane Trickster class from an intelligence caster to a charisma caster for "dragon magic". However when I just do a base copy and load it up it only gives me 5 spells. So I took the time to copy every single spell into the list of additional spells, now when I load it i get 12 copies in my spell list. That 867 spells in case you were wondering. When i tried to delete the copies it locks my page after 2.
I would add picture but apparently I am not smart enough to figure it out so here is a drive link.
Go to your character and change the subclass to something like assassin.
Delete your homebrew subclass.
Go to Creations menu and choose to create a subclass. Choose Rogue in the class box and then choose to use an existing subclass as a template, choose Arcane Trickster.
On the next page, change the name, and fill in the short and long descriptions. Then where it says Spellcasting ability change this to CHA. Save. You can go through the modifiers to change references of Intelligence as the spellcasting ability to Charisma (in descriptions only, but I do not recommend doing anything else.
Go to your character and edit it. Select your new homebrew subclass.
You're done.
I just tested this: it works perfectly to use Cha instead of Int. I see all the spells available for arcane tricksters when I go to use them. And the fact it uses the wizard's spell list instead of sorc's is irrelevant since there are very few sorc spells of note that the wizard cannot already do.
Playing around with spell lists and the like for Copied subclasses is funky and easily messed up. I am going to guess, since I got it working perfectly, that you changed too much and it caused confusion in the system. Since this has caused such an error that it overloads your browser and computer ram (hence locking your computer) you will need to delete and start over. If you only need to change Int to Cha, just do that (a simple drop-down menu change, very easy) and update the text descriptions. If you want to change spell lists and such as then you are much better off starting from scratch and really should only do this if you know what you're doing because it's a far more complicated endeavour, too much to be worth it for the simple changes you are proposing.

Ok, I did all of this, going so far as to delete the character i had created. However, I only have the following spells. which is minuscule compared to what the normal Arcane Trickster has. It does not even have mage hand.
BTW if it matters, I am in a campaign where one of the players has the legendary bundle.

Link the homebrew (you dont have to publish it) so mods can look.
I don,t know how/where to do that. Is it just a url link?
Here is the character link.

The URL of the homebrew when you click "view details page."
Thanks, I did it
Try this:
Go to your character and change the subclass to something like assassin.
Delete your homebrew subclass.
Go to Creations menu and choose to create a subclass. Choose Rogue in the class box and then choose to use an existing subclass as a template, choose Arcane Trickster.

Sounds like you need to add the wizard (or sorcerer) spell list to it.
That did it thanks
