What kind of trickster do you want to be? Hermes is the messenger god from Greek mythology who was the patron of travelers and thieves. He notably stole a heard of cattle from Apollo, but then invented the lyre as a gift/payment to Apollo. Anansi is a trickster god of African origin and is cunning but also proud, lazy, impulsive to his downfall. Odysseus is a Greek hero who invented the Trojan Horse and survived the Odyssey by tricking his opponents, told a giant his name was "Noone" so when he blinded the cyclops the giant screamed "Noone has blinded me!" and so it got no help. Puck is a famous fae trickers, he is often good natured even if his humor is alien Sun Wukong is the Monkey King who is vain and lazy, but also incredibly powerful. I recommend the 2014 Donnie Yen film "The Monkey King" for an idea of his personality. Loki is different depending on if your thinking mythology or Marvel. Both don't have the best track record for teamwork, but the Marvel one is a bit more "heroic" and a lot less mustache twirlingly evil.
If you're a "good natured" trickster, then Ancients will probably fit well. If you're a "bad natured" trickster, then Vengeance I guess...
I don't see "Tricksters" about Strength Above all for like Conquest; Honesty, Honor, and Duty like Devotion; really anything about Redemption as it's about innocence and tricksters often take away innocence; Law, Loyalty, and Responsibility of Crown don't seem to fit.
Then again I'm just going off of the standard book recommendations. Remember these are recommendations not requirements and my opinion. But I think you need to figure out what KIND of trickster you want to be.
By process, I am referring to homebrewing an oath that would be asked of a paladin of a trickster god. I suppose a cleric of trickery is the closest to what I am trying to make with more offensive capabilities that paladins naturally possess
If you looking to homebrew an Oath and want to use a Trickery Domain Cleric as a base, might I suggest the UA Oath of Treachery? It follows that same idea as the trickery domain but with a decided more martial focus.
If you want to be more social, a dip into Archey or GOO warlocks would certainly help fill out that flavor.
Just remember if you going to multiclass, grab the Mask of Many FacesInvocation Itll really sell the character concept. Also grab the Crown of Madness spell to really stir up trouble.
I am currently in the process of making a trickster paladin any ideas?

This is like 98% of what I want thank you especially multiclassing with warlock for a level or to this will work great.

Oh ya that's perfect
