Planar Bandit: Roguish Archetype
The planes are imperfect, and you know exactly where to find their flaws. Planar bandits see the faults in reality that no one else does and slip right through them. You join the ranks of the most adventurous of explorers, the most traveled of nomads, and the grandest of thieves.

Planar Slip
At 3rd level, you begin to find rends in the fabric of the planes, slips in the structure of the multiverse.
You can use a bonus action to create two immovable rifts, one on an open surface within your space and one on an open surface that you can see within 30 feet of you. An unstable portal bridges the distance between the two.
The rifts are no more than a foot across and last until the end of your turn. A creature next to one rift is considered to be next to the other rift. Anything put through one rift emerges through the other. You may only have one Planar Slip open at a time.
You have advantage on Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) checks performed through a Planar Slip.
Slip Sneak
At 3rd level, you master using your portal legerdemain to catch foes unaware.
You can use your Sneak Attack against a creature you attack through your Planar Slip, even if you don't have advantage on it, but not if you do not have disadvantage.
Dimensional Detention
Also at 9th level, you begin to harness the latent energies of these slips, briefly blinking your enemies out of existence.
If you have advantage on an attack made through a Planar Slip and both rolls would hit, you may temporarily banish a Large or smaller creature to a harmless demiplane, hurtling it through a planar fault.
While banished, the creature has a speed of 0 and is incapacitated. At the end of its next turn, the creature reappears in the space it vacated or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest. A creature banished in this way is immune to your Dimensional Detention for the next 24 hours.
Slipwalker
At 13th level, your creation of these faults is second nature, your every movement in sync with the beat of the plane.
The rifts of your Planar Slip no longer require a surface and can be up to 10 feet across. If you move through a Planar Slip, your first attack that hits that turn may still gain the benefits of Slip Sneak and Dimensional Detention.
Slip Shroud
At 17th level, you become one with the plane around you, wearing it around yourself like an obscuring cloak.
When you first move through a Planar Slip on your turn, you can become invisible until the start of your next turn. You become visible after you attack or cast a spell.
