# Rogue Signaling for her companions to wait, a halfling creeps forward through the dungeon hall. She presses an ear to the door, then pulls out a set of tools and picks the lock in the blink of an eye. Then she disappears into the shadows as her fighter friend moves forward to kick the door open. A human lurks in the shadows of an alley while his accomplice prepares for her part in the ambush. When their target — a notorious slaver—passes the alleyway, the accomplice cries out, the slaver comes to investigate, and the assassin’s blade cuts his throat before he can make a sound. Suppressing a giggle, a gnome waggles her fingers and magically lifts the key ring from the guard’s belt. In a moment, the keys are in her hand, the cell door is open, and she and her companions are free to make their escape. Rogues rely on skill, stealth, and their foes’ vulnerabilities to get the upper hand in any situation. They have a knack for finding the solution to just about any problem, demonstrating a resourcefulness and versatility that is the cornerstone of any successful adventuring party. ### Skill and Precision Rogues devote as much effort to mastering the use of a variety of skills as they do to perfecting their combat abilities, giving them a broad expertise that few other characters can match. Many rogues focus on stealth and deception, while others refine the skills that help them in a dungeon environment, such as climbing, finding and disarming traps, and opening locks. When it comes to combat, rogues prioritize cunning over brute strength. A rogue would rather make one precise strike, placing it exactly where the attack will hurt the target most, than w ear an opponent down with a barrage of attacks. Rogues have an almost supernatural knack for avoiding danger, and a few learn magical tricks to supplement their other abilities. ### A Shady Living Every town and city has its share of rogues. Most of them live up to the worst stereotypes of the class, making a living as burglars, assassins, cut-purses, and con artists. Often, these scoundrels are organized into thieves’ guilds or crime families. Plenty of rogues operate independently, but even they sometimes recruit apprentices to help them in their scams and heists. A few rogues make an honest living as locksmiths, investigators, or exterminators, which can be a dangerous job in a world where dire rats — and were-rats — haunt the sewers. As adventurers, rogues fall on both sides of the law. Some are hardened criminals who decide to seek their fortune in treasure hoards, while others take up a life of adventure to escape from the law. Some have learned and perfected their skills with the explicit purpose of infiltrating ancient ruins and hidden crypts in search of treasure. \columnbreak ### Creating a Rogue As you create your rogue character, consider the character’s relationship to the law. Do you have a criminal past—or present? A re you on the run from the law or from an angry thieves’ guild master? Or did you leave your guild in search of bigger risks and bigger rewards? Is it greed that drives you in your adventures, or some other desire or ideal? What was the trigger that led you away from your previous life? Did a great con or heist gone terribly wrong cause you to reevaluate your career? Maybe you w ere lucky and a successful robbery gave you the coin you needed to escape the squalor of your life. Did wanderlust finally call you away from your home? Perhaps you suddenly found yourself cut off from your family or your mentor, and you had to find a new means of support. Or maybe you made a new friend — another member of your adventuring party — who showed you new possibilities for earning a living and employing your particular talents. ##### Quick Build You can make a rogue quickly by following these suggestions. First. Dexterity should be your highest ability score. Make Intelligence your next-highest if you want to excel at Investigation or plan to take up the Arcane Trickster archetype. Choose Charisma instead if you plan to emphasize deception and social interaction. Second, choose the charlatan background. ## Class Features As a rogue, you gain the following class features #### Hit Points ___ - **Hit Dice:** 1d8 per rogue level - **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 8 + your Constitution modifier - **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per rogue level after 1st #### Proficiencies ___ - **Armor:** Light armor - **Weapons:** Simple weapons, hand crossbows, longswords, rapiers, shortswords - **Tools:** Thieves' Tools ___ - **Saving Throws:** Dexterity, Intelligence - **Skills:** Choose four from Acrobatics, Athletics, Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Perception, Performance, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth #### Equipment You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background: - *(a)* a rapier or *(b)* a shortsword - *(a)* a shortbow and quiver of 20 arrows or *(b)* a shortsword - *(a)* a burglar's pack, *(b)* a dungeoneer's pack or, *(c)* an explorer's pack - Leather armor, two daggers, and thieves' tools \pagebreakNum
##### The Rogue | Level | Proficiency Bonus | Features | Sneak Attack | |:---:|:---:|:---|:---:| | 1st | +2 | Expertise, Sneak Attack, Thieves' Cant | 1d6 | | 2nd | +2 | Cunning Action | 1d6 | | 3rd | +2 | Roguish Archetype | 2d6 | | 4th | +2 | ASI/Feat, Prof. Versatility | 2d6 | | 5th | +3 | Uncanny Dodge | 3d6 | | 6th | +3 | Expertise | 3d6 | | 7th | +3 | Evasion | 4d6 | | 8th | +3 | ASI/Feat, Prof. Versatility | 4d6 | | 9th | +4 | Roguish Archetype feature | 5d6 | | 10th | +4 | ASI/Feat, Prof. Versatility | 5d6 | | 11th | +4 | Reliable Talent | 6d6 | | 12th | +4 | ASI/Feat, Prof. Versatility | 6d6 | | 13th | +5 | Roguish Archetype feature | 7d6 | | 14th | +5 | Blindsense | 7d6 | | 15th | +5 | Slippery Mind | 8d6 | | 16th | +5 | ASI/Feat, Prof. Versatility | 8d6 | | 17th | +6 | Roguish Archetype feature | 9d6 | | 18th | +6 | Elusive | 9d6 | | 19th | +6 | ASI/Feat, Prof. Versatility | 10d6 | | 20th | +6 | Stroke of Luck | 10d6 |
### Expertise At 1st level, choose two of your skill proficiencies, or one of your skill proficiencies and your proficiency with thieves' tools. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies. At 6th level, you can choose two more of your proficiencies (in skills or with thieves' tools) to gain this benefit. ### Sneak Attack Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe’s distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon. You don't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll. The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table. ### Thieves' Cant During your rogue training you learned thieves' cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves' cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly. In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run. ### Cunning Action Starting at 2nd level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action. ### Roguish Archetype At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you emulate in the exercise of your rogue abilities: * Arcane Trickster * Assassin * Inquisitive * Mastermind * Scout * Swashbuckler * Thief All archetypes are detailed at the end of the class description. Your archetype choice grants you features at 3rd level and then again at 9th, 13th, and 17th level. ### Ability Score Improvement / Feat When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Alternatively, you can chose to take a Feat from one of the options found [here](https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LMhPMjnL5LIDK4kuOSw). ### Proficiency Versatility Whenever you gain the Ability Score Improvement feature from your class, you can also replace one of your skill proficiencies with a skill proficiency offered by your class at 1st level (the proficiency you replace needn’t be from the class). This change represents one of your skills atrophying as you focus on a different skill \pagebreakNum ### Uncanny Dodge Starting at 5th level, when an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack’s damage against you. ### Evasion Beginning at 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon's fiery breath or an *Ice Storm* spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. ### Reliable Talent By 11th level, you have refined your chosen skills until they approach perfection. Whenever you make an ability check that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10. ### Blindsense Starting at 14th level, if you are able to hear, you are aware of the location of any hidden or invisible creature within 10 feet of you. ### Slippery Mind By 15th level, you have acquired greater mental strength. You gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws. ### Elusive Beginning at 18th level, you are so evasive that attackers rarely gain the upper hand against you. No attack roll has advantage against you while you aren't incapacitated. ### Stroke of Luck At 20th level, you have an uncanny knack for succeeding when you need to. If your attack misses a target within range, you can turn the miss into a hit. Alternatively, if you fail an ability check, you can treat the d20 roll as a 20. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest. \columnbreak ## Roguish Archetypes Rogues have many features in common, including their emphasis on perfecting their skills, their precise and deadly approach to combat, and their increasingly quick reflexes. But different rogues steer those talents in varying directions, embodied by the rogue archetypes. Your choice of archetype is a reflection of your focus - not necessarily an indication of your chosen profession, but a description of your preferred techniques. \pagebreakNum ### Arcane Trickster Some rogues enhance their fine-honed skills of stealth and agility with magic, learning tricks of enchantment and illusion. These rogues include pickpockets and burglars, but also pranksters, mischief-makers, and a significant number of adventurers. ##### Arcane Trickster features | Rogue Level | Feature | |:---|:-----------| | 3rd | Spellcasting, *Mage Hand* Legerdemain | | 9th | Magical Ambush | | 13th | Versatile Trickster | | 17th | Spell Thief | #### Spellcasting When you reach 3rd level, you gain the ability to cast spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the wizard spell list. **Cantrips.** You learn three cantrips: *Mage Hand* and two other cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. You learn another wizard cantrip of your choice at 10th level. **Cantrip Versatility** **Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one cantrip you learned from this Spellcasting feature with another cantrip from the wizard spell list.** **Focus Schools.** **Chose any two schools of magic to specialize in from the following list:** - Abjuration - Conjuration - Divination - Enchantment - Evocation - Illusion - Necromancy - Transmutation **A standard combination of schools consists of the Enchantment and Illusion schools.** **Spell Slots.** The Arcane Trickster Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell *Charm Person* and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast *Charm Person* using either slot. \columnbreak **Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher.** You know three 1st-level wizard spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from **your focus schools** spells on the wizard spell list. The Spells Known column of the Arcane Trickster Spellcasting table shows when you learn more wizard spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be an enchantment or illusion spell of your choice, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level. The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the wizard spells you know with another spell of your choice from the wizard spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be a spell **from one of your focus schools**, unless you're replacing the spell you gained at 8th, 14th, or 20th level. **Spell Versatility** **Whenever you finish a long rest, you can replace one spell you learned from this Spellcasting feature with another spell from the bard spell list. The new spell must be the same level as the spell you replace.** **Spellcasting Ability.** Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. **Spell save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier **Spell attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier #### *Mage Hand* Legerdemain Starting at 3rd level, when you cast *Mage Hand*, you can make the spectral hand invisible, and you can perform the following additional tasks with it: • You can stow one object the hand is holding in a container worn or carried by another creature. • You can retrieve an object in a container worn or carried by another creature. • You can use thieves' tools to pick locks and disarm traps at range. You can perform one of these tasks without being noticed by a creature if you succeed on a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check contested by the creature’s Wisdom (Perception) check. In addition, you can use the bonus action granted by your Cunning Action to control the hand. \pagebreakNum ##### Arcane Trickster Spellcasting | Rogue Level | Cantrips Known | Spells Known | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | 3rd | 3 | 3 | 2 | - | - | - | | 4th | 3 | 4 | 3 | - | - | - | | 5th | 3 | 4 | 3 | - | - | - | | 6th | 3 | 4 | 3 | - | - | - | | 7th | 3 | 5 | 4 | 2 | - | - | | 8th | 3 | 6 | 4 | 2 | - | - | | 9th | 3 | 6 | 4 | 2 | - | - | | 10th | 4 | 7 | 4 | 3 | - | - | | 11th | 4 | 8 | 4 | 3 | - | - | | 12th | 4 | 8 | 4 | 3 | - | - | | 13th | 4 | 9 | 4 | 3 | 2 | - | | 14th | 4 | 10 | 4 | 3 | 2 | - | | 15th | 4 | 10 | 4 | 3 | 2 | - | | 16th | 4 | 11 | 4 | 3 | 3 | - | | 17th | 4 | 11 | 4 | 3 | 3 | - | | 18th | 4 | 11 | 4 | 3 | 3 | - | | 19th | 4 | 12 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 1 | | 20th | 4 | 13 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 1 | #### Magical Ambush Starting at 9th level, if you are hidden from a creature when you cast a spell on it, the creature has disadvantage on any saving throw it makes against the spell this turn. #### Versatile Trickster At 13th level, you gain the ability to distract targets with your *Mage Hand*. As a bonus action on your turn, you can designate a creature within 5 feet of the spectral hand created by the spell. Doing so gives you advantage on attack rolls against that creature until the end of the turn. \columnbreak #### Spell Thief At 17th level, you gain the ability to magically steal the knowledge of how to cast a spell from another spellcaster. Immediately after a creature casts a spell that targets you or includes you in its area of effect, you can use your reaction to force the creature to make a saving throw with its spellcasting ability modifier. The DC equals your spell save DC. On a failed save, you negate the spell's effect against you, and you steal the knowledge of the spell (it doesn't need to be a wizard spell). For the next 8 hours, you know the spell and can cast it using your spell slots, **if the spell is not of a level you can cast, you can instead cast it once.** The creature can't cast that spell until the 8 hours have passed. Once you **successfully steal a spell with** this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. \pagebreakNum ### Assassin You focus your training on the grim art of death. Those who adhere to this archetype are diverse: hired killers, spies, bounty hunters, and even specially anointed priests trained to exterminate the enemies of their deity. Stealth, poison, and disguise help you eliminate your foes with deadly efficiency. ##### Assassin features | Rogue Level | Feature | |:---|:-----------| | 3rd | Bonus Proficiencies, Assassinate | | 9th | Infiltration Expertise | | 13th | Imposter | | 17th | Death Strike | #### Bonus Proficiencies When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the disguise kit and the poisoner’s kit. #### Assassinate Starting at 3rd level, you are at your deadliest when you get the drop on your enemies. You have advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn't taken a turn in the combat yet. In addition, any hit you score against a creature that is surprised is a critical hit. #### Infiltration Expertise Starting at 9th level, you can unfailingly create false identities for yourself. You must spend seven days and 25 gp to establish the history, profession, and affiliations for an identity. You can’t establish an identity that belongs to someone else. For example, you might acquire appropriate clothing, letters of introduction, and official looking certification to establish yourself as a member of a trading house from a remote city so you can insinuate yourself into the company of other wealthy merchants. Thereafter, if you adopt the new identity as a disguise, other creatures believe you to be that person until given an obvious reason not to. #### Imposter At 13th level, you gain the ability to unerringly mimic another person’s speech, writing, and behavior. You must spend at least three hours studying these three components of the person’s behavior, listening to speech, examining handwriting, and observing mannerisms. Your ruse is indiscernible to the casual observer. If a wary creature suspects something is amiss, you have advantage on any Charisma (Deception) check you make to avoid detection. #### Death Strike Starting at 17th level, you become a master of instant death. When you attack and hit a creature that is surprised, it must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, double the damage of your attack against the creature. \pagebreakNum ### Inquisitive As an archetypal Inquisitive, you excel at rooting out secrets and unraveling mysteries. You rely on your sharp eye for detail, but also on your finely honed ability to read the words and deeds of other creatures to determine their true intent. You excel at defeating creatures that hide among and prey upon ordinary folk, and your mastery of lore and your keen deductions make you well equipped to expose and end hidden evils. ##### Inquisitive features | Rogue Level | Feature | |:---|:-----------| | 3rd | Ear for Deceit, Eye for Detail, Insightful Fighting | | 9th | Steady Eye | | 13th | Unerring Eye | | 17th | Eye for Weakness | #### Ear for Deceit When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you develop a talent for picking out lies. Whenever you make a Wisdom (Insight) check to determine whether a creature is lying, treat a roll of 7 or lower on the d20 as an 8. #### Eye for Detail Starting at 3rd level, you can use a bonus action to make a Wisdom (Perception) check to spot a hidden creature or object or to make an Intelligence (Investigation) l check to uncover or decipher clues. #### Insightful Fighting At 3rd level, you gain the ability to decipher an opponent's tactics and develop a counter to them. As a bonus action, you can make a Wisdom (Insight) check against a creature you can see that isn't incapacitated, contested by the target's Charisma (Deception) check. If you succeed, you can use your Sneak Attack against that target even if you don't have advantage on the attack roll, but not if you have disadvantage on it. This benefit lasts for 1 minute or until you successfully use this feature against a different target. #### Steady Eye Starting at 9th level, you have advantage on any Wisdom (Perception) or Intelligence (Investigation) check if you move no more than half your speed on the same turn. \columnbreak #### Unerring Eye Beginning at 13th level, your senses are almost impossible to foil. As an action, you sense the presence of illusions, shape-changers not in their original form, and other magic designed to deceive the senses within 30 feet of you, provided you aren't blinded or deafened. You sense that an effect is attempting to trick you, but you gain no insight into what is hidden or into its true nature. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest. #### Eye for Weakness At 17th level, you learn to exploit a creature's weaknesses by carefully studying its tactics and movement. While your Insightful Fighting feature applies to a creature, your Sneak Attack damage against that creature increases by 3d6. \pagebreakNum ### Mastermind Your focus is on people and on the influence and secrets they have. Many spies, courtiers, and schemers follow this archetype, leading lives of intrigue. Words are your weapons as often as knives or poison, and secrets and favors are some of your favorite treasures. ##### Mastermind features | Rogue Level | Feature | |:---|:-----------| | 3rd | Master of Intrigue, Master of Tactics | | 9th | Insightful Manipulator | | 13th | Misdirection | | 17th | Soul of Deceit | #### Master of Intrigue When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the disguise kit, the forgery kit, and one gaming set of your choice. You also learn two languages of your choice. Additionally, you can unerringly mimic the speech patterns and accent of a creature that you hear speak for at least 1 minute, enabling you to pass yourself off as a native speaker of a particular land, provided that you know the language. #### Master of Tactics Starting at 3rd level, you can use the Help action as a bonus action. Additionally, when you use the Help action to aid an ally in attacking a creature, the target of that attack can be within 30 feet of you, rather than within 5 feet of you, if the target can see or hear you. #### Insightful Manipulator Starting at 9th level, if you spend at least 1 minute observing or interacting with another creature outside combat, you can learn certain information about its capabilities compared to your own. The DM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior in regard to two of the following characteristics of your choice: - Intelligence score - Wisdom score - Charisma score - Class levels (if any) At the DM's option, you might also realize you know a piece of the creature’s history or one of its personality traits, if it has any. \columnbreak #### Misdirection Beginning at 13th level, you can sometimes cause another creature to suffer an attack meant for you. When you are targeted by an attack while a creature within 5 feet of you is granting you cover against that attack, you can use your reaction to have the attack target that creature instead of you. #### Soul of Deceit Starting at 17th level, your thoughts can't be read by telepathy or other means, unless you allow it. You can present false thoughts by succeeding on a Charisma (Deception) check contested by the mind reader's Wisdom (Insight) check. Additionally, no matter what you say, magic that would determine if you are telling the truth indicates you are being truthful if you so choose, and you can't be compelled to tell the truth by magic. \pagebreakNum ### Scout You are skilled in stealth and surviving far from the streets of a city, allowing you to scout ahead of your companions during expeditions. Rogues who embrace this archetype are at home in the wilderness and among barbarians and rangers, and many Scouts serve as the eyes and ears of war bands. Ambusher, spy, bounty hunter - these are just a few of the roles that Scouts assume as they range the world. ##### Scout features | Rogue Level | Feature | |:---|:-----------| | 3rd | Skirmisher, Survivalist | | 9th | Superior Mobility | | 13th | Ambush Master | | 17th | Sudden Strike | #### Skirmisher Starting at 3rd level, you are difficult to pin down during a fight. You can move up to half your speed as a reaction when an enemy ends its turn within 5 feet of you. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks. #### Survivalist When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Nature and Survival skills if you don't already have it. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of those proficiencies. #### Superior Mobility At 9th level, your walking speed increases by 10 feet. If you have a climbing or swimming speed, this increase applies to that speed as well. #### Ambush Master Starting at 13th level, you excel at leading ambushes and acting first in a fight. You have advantage on initiative rolls. In addition, the first creature you hit during the first round of a combat becomes easier for you and others to strike; attack rolls against that target have advantage until the start of your next turn. #### Sudden Strike Starting at 17th level, you can strike with deadly speed. If you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make one additional attack as a bonus action. This attack can benefit from your Sneak Attack even if you have already used it this turn, but you can’t use your Sneak Attack against the same target more than once in a turn. \pagebreakNum ### Swashbuckler You focus your training on the art of the blade, relying on speed, elegance, and charm in equal parts. While some warriors are brutes clad in heavy armor, your method of fighting looks almost like a performance. Duelists and pirates typically belong to this archetype. A Swashbuckler excels in single combat, and can fight with two weapons while safely darting away from an opponent. ##### Swashbuckler features | Rogue Level | Feature | |:---|:-----------| | 3rd | Fancy Footwork, Rakish Audacity | | 9th | Panache | | 13th | Elegant Maneuver | | 17th | Master Duelist | #### Fancy Footwork When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn how to land a strike and then slip away without reprisal. During your turn, if you make a melee attack against a creature, that creature can’t make opportunity attacks against you for the rest of your turn. #### Rakish Audacity Starting at 3rd level, your confidence propels you into battle. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Charisma modifier. You also gain an additional way to use your Sneak Attack; you don't need advantage on the attack roll to use your Sneak Attack against a creature if you are within 5 feet of it, no other creatures are within 5 feet of you, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll. All the other rules for Sneak Attack still apply to you. #### Panache At 9th level, your charm becomes extraordinarily beguiling. As an action, you can make a Charisma (Persuasion) check contested by a creature's Wisdom (Insight) check. The creature must be able to hear you, and the two of you must share a language. If you succeed on the check and the creature is hostile to you, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you and can't make opportunity attacks against targets other than you. This effect lasts for 1 minute, until one of your companions attacks the target or affects it with a spell, or until you and the target are more than 60 feet apart. If you succeed on the check and the creature isn't hostile to you, it is charmed by you for 1 minute. While charmed, it regards you as a friendly acquaintance. This effect ends immediately if you or your companions do anything harmful to it. \columnbreak #### Elegant Maneuver Starting at 13th level, you can use a bonus action on your turn to gain advantage on the next Dexterity (Acrobatics) or Strength (Athletics) check you make during the same turn. #### Master Duelist Beginning at 17th level, your mastery of the blade lets you turn failure into success in combat. If you miss with an attack roll, you can roll it again with advantage. Once you do so, you can’t use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest. \pagebreakNum ### Thief You hone your skills in the larcenous arts. Burglars, bandits, cut-purses, and other criminals typically follow this archetype, but so do rogues who prefer to think of themselves as professional treasure seekers, explorers, delvers, and investigators. In addition to improving your agility and stealth, you learn skills useful for delving into ancient ruins, reading unfamiliar languages, and using magic items you normally couldn't employ. ##### Thief features | Rogue Level | Feature | |:---|:-----------| | 3rd | Fast Hands, Second-Story Work | | 9th | Supreme Sneak | | 13th | Use Magic Device | | 17th | Thief's Reflexes | #### Fast Hands Starting at 3rd level, you can use the bonus action granted by your Cunning Action to make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check, use your thieves' tools to disarm a trap or open a lock, or take the Use an Object action. #### Second-Story Work When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain the ability to climb faster than normal; climbing no longer costs you extra movement. In addition, when you make a running jump, the distance you cover increases by a number of feet equal to your Dexterity modifier. #### Supreme Sneak Starting at 9th level, you have advantage on a Dexterity (Stealth) check if you move no more than half your speed on the same turn. #### Use Magic Device By 13th level, you have learned enough about the workings of magic that you can improvise the use of items even when they are not intended for you. You ignore all class, race, and level requirements on the use of magic items. #### Thief's Reflexes When you reach 17th level, you have become adept at laying ambushes and quickly escaping danger. You can take two turns during the first round of any combat. You take your first turn at your normal initiative and your second turn at your initiative minus 10. You can’t use this feature when you are surprised. \pagebreakNum ## Homebrew ### Arcane Trickster * Added **Cantrip Versatility** and **Spell Versatility** feature from Class Variants UA * Changed magic school limitations to be players choice rather than specifically limited to Illusion and Enchantment. * Buffed level 17 feature; removed spell level limitations (single cast on spell levels above characters max spell level), and changed once per long rest limitation to one success per long rest. ### Ability Score Increase / Feat * Added the **Proficiency Versatility** from the [Class Features UA](https://media.wizards.com/2019/dnd/downloads/UA-ClassFeatures.pdf)
