Equipment

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

• (a) a Rapier, (b) a Longsword, or (c) any simple weapon • (a) a Diplomat's Pack or (b) an Entertainer's Pack • (a) a lute or (b) any other musical instrument • Leather Armor, and a Dagger

Inspiration

As an Envoy, you can inspire others through stirring words. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one sentient other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That sentient gains one inspiration die, a d6.

Once within the next 10 minutes, the sentient can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The sentient can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the inspiration die but must decide before the GM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A sentient can have only one inspiration die at a time.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Tricks

You know two tricks of your choice from the envoy gambits list. You learn additional tricks of your choice at higher levels, learning a 3rd trick at 4th level and a 4th at 10th level. Tricks are gambits that can be performed an unlimited number of times and do not expend any of your class resources to use.

Talent Points

In order to pull your gambits, you must expend a number of talent points required for the rank of the gambit as indicated in the talent points table. You cannot spend talent points on gambits of rank 6 or higher unless you are increasing the base rank of a level 1-5 gambit to rank 6-9.

Gambits Known of Rank 1 and Higher

You know four rank 1 gambits of your choice from the envoy gambit list.

You learn an additional envoy gambit of your choice at each level except 12th, 16th, 19th, and 20th. Each of these gambits must have a talent point cost less than your performance threshold as indicated in the envoy table and they must not be higher than Rank 5. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new Gambit of Rank 1 or 2. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the envoy gambits you know and replace it with another gambit from the envoy gambit list, which also must be of a valid rank.

Gambit Pulling Ability

Charisma is your gambit pulling ability for your envoy gambits. Your gambits come not only from the esper powers your control, but your raw force of personality and cunning. You use your charisma whenever a gambit refers to your channeling ability. In addition, you use your charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an expert gambit you use and when making an attack roll with one.

Channeling Save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Charisma modifier Channeling Attack modifier = your Proficiency Bonus + your Charisma modifier

The Con Artist

Con Artists have honed an ability to gain the confidence of others, telling convincing lies with a smile and wink. They enjoy nothing more than twisting unearned confidence towards their own goals, employing trickery to get exactly what they want. The Con Artist is an artist after all, celebrating their own finesse with lies and deception. Though all envoys employ deception as part of their repertoire, the Con Artist delves into trickery with relish.

The Authority

Bonus Proficiencies

When you select the Scoundrel archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with medium armor and the scimitar.

Fighting Style

At 3rd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a fighting style option more than once, even if something in the game lets you choose again.

Dueling. When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

Point Shooting. When making a ranged weapon attack while you are within 5 feet of a hostile creature, you do not have disadvantage on the attack roll.

Two-Weapon Fighting. When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

Combat Flourish

At 3rd level, you learn to perform impressive displays of martial prowess and speed.

Whenever you take the attack action on your turn, your walking speed increases by 10 feet until the end of the turn, and if a weapon attack that you make as part of this action hits a target, you can use one of the following combat flourish options of your choice. You can use only one combat flourish option per turn.

Evasive Flourish. You can expend one use of your inspiration to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target you hit. The damage equals the number you roll on the inspiration die. You also add the number rolled to your AC until the start of your next turn.

Repeat Flourish. You can expend one use of your inspiration to cause a weapon attack to deal extra damage to the target you hit and to any other target of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of you. The damage equals the number you roll on the inspiration die.

Mobile Flourish. You can expend one use of your Inspiration to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target you hit. The damage equals the number you roll on the inspiration die. You can also push the target up to 5 feet away from you, plus a number of feet equal to the number you roll on that die. You can then immediately use your reaction to move up to your walking speed to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the target.

Extra Attack

Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the attack action on your turn.

Master’s Flourish

Starting at 14th level, whenever you use a combat flourish option, you can roll a d6 and use it instead of expending an inspiration die.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you select the Veteran archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons. You also gain proficiency in culture or insight. If you are already proficient in these areas, you can instead choose to gain expertise in them.

Combat Inspiration

Also at 3rd level, you learn to inspire others in battle. A sentient that has an Inspiration die from you can roll that die and add the number rolled to a weapon damage roll it just made. Alternatively, when an attack roll is made against the sentient, it can use its reaction to roll the inspiration die and add the number rolled to its AC against that attack, after seeing the roll but before knowing whether it hits or misses.

Extra Attack

Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the attack action on your turn.

Trained Shot

At 14th level, your skill with weaponry has become so natural for you that you are able to activate your esper powers even while using a weapon. When you use your action to pull an envoy gambit, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.

Double or Nothing

When you select the Mogul archetype at 3rd level, you learn to push the luck of you and your allies just a little harder in the heat of battle. After an ally uses one of your inspiration die, they may push their luck to call higher or lower. They then roll a second die. If the value on the second die corresponds to what they called (ties lose) they add the value of both dice to their roll. Otherwise, they lose their inspiration.

Expert Negotiator

By 6th level, you have become a cunning negotiator. Once per long rest, you can use the Distort Value gambit without expending talent points.
