{"name":"Rogue","overview":"In the enigmatic world of Farsae, where the air thrums with ancient magic and the land whispers secrets of ages past, Rogues are the silent movers, the unseen hands that tilt the scales. Amid the towering spires of the Crystaline Bastion, a Miski Rogue navigates the labyrinth of corridors with a nimble grace, her shadow merging with the flickering lights, her mission known only to her and the night.\r\n\r\nWithin the verdant expanse of the Emerald Wilds, a Pommo Rogue scurries through the dense foliage, his small stature and cunning mind his greatest assets. With a keen sense for danger and an arsenal of gadgets at his disposal, he disentangles the mysteries of the wild, leaving no trace but the whisper of leaves in his wake.\r\n\r\nHovering silently over the dunes of the Whispering Sands, a Telpid Rogue surveys the caravan below. Beneath the cloak of darkness, he descends, his movements a dance with the desert wind, his intentions as shifting and inscrutable as the sands themselves.\r\n\r\nIn Farsae, Rogues embody the essence of adaptability, their lives a testament to the power of wit over brute force, of strategy over straightforward assault. They are the unseen influencers, the shadow brokers, and the keepers of balance, moving through the world with a purpose that is theirs alone to define.\r\n\r\n[h2]Weavers of Shadows[\/h2]\r\nIn the world of Farsae, Rogues are not mere practitioners of stealth and thievery; they are artisans of the intangible, masters of the elements that elude the naked eye. Their expertise spans a broad spectrum, from the delicate art of diplomacy to the intricate knowledge of arcane traps, making them as versatile as they are mysterious.\r\n\r\nFor a Rogue, combat is an art form, a delicate ballet of deadly strikes aimed with surgical precision. They know that the true strength lies not in the might of a blow, but in its placement, timing, and the ability to anticipate an opponent's move. Their survival hinges on agility, cunning, and the occasional foray into the mystical arts that lend them an edge in their endeavors.\r\n\r\n[h2]Shadows Amongst Legends[\/h2]\r\nRogues are woven into the fabric of Farsae, their presence felt in every echelon of society, from the bustling marketplaces to the shadowed back alleys, from the hallowed halls of power to the forgotten ruins that dot the landscape. Some Rogues tread the path of fortune hunters, delving into ancient ruins in search of lost artifacts, while others serve as spies or assassins, their allegiances as fluid as their morals.\r\n\r\nThe path of a Rogue is one of constant balance, navigating the grey areas of morality and law. They are the unexpected elements, the variables in the equation of Farsae's destiny that can shift the outcome of events with a single, decisive act. Their motivations are as varied as their methods, driven by desire, necessity, or a thirst for adventure.\r\n\r\nIn the grand tapestry of Farsae's history, Rogues are the subtle threads that, though often overlooked, hold the weave together, shaping the course of events from the shadows, their true impact known only to those who look closely enough.\r\n\r\n[h2]Creating a Rogue[\/h2]\r\nAs you create your rogue character, consider the character's relationship to the law. Do you have a criminal past\u2014or present? Are 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?\r\n\r\nWhat 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 were 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\u2014another member of your adventuring party\u2014who showed you new possibilities for earning a living and employing your particular talents.\r\n[quote]\r\n[h2]Quick Build[\/h2]\r\n\r\nYou 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.[\/quote]\r\n[h2]The Rogue Table[\/h2]\r\n[table][tr][th]Level[\/th][th]Prof. Bonus[\/th][th]Features[\/th][th]Sneak Attack[\/th][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]1st[\/td]\r\n[td]+2[\/td]\r\n[td]Expertise, Sneak Attack, Thieves' Cant[\/td]\r\n[td]1d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]2nd[\/td]\r\n[td]+2[\/td]\r\n[td]Cunning Action[\/td]\r\n[td]1d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]3rd[\/td]\r\n[td]+2[\/td]\r\n[td]Roguish Archetype, Steady Aim[\/td]\r\n[td]2d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]4th[\/td]\r\n[td]+2[\/td]\r\n[td]Ability Score Improvement[\/td]\r\n[td]2d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]5th[\/td]\r\n[td]+3[\/td]\r\n[td]Uncanny Dodge[\/td]\r\n[td]3d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]6th[\/td]\r\n[td]+3[\/td]\r\n[td]Expertise[\/td]\r\n[td]3d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]7th[\/td]\r\n[td]+3[\/td]\r\n[td]Evasion[\/td]\r\n[td]4d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]8th[\/td]\r\n[td]+3[\/td]\r\n[td]Ability Score Improvement[\/td]\r\n[td]4d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]9th[\/td]\r\n[td]+4[\/td]\r\n[td]Roguish Archetype feature[\/td]\r\n[td]5d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]10th[\/td]\r\n[td]+4[\/td]\r\n[td]Ability Score Improvement[\/td]\r\n[td]5d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]11th[\/td]\r\n[td]+4[\/td]\r\n[td]Reliable Talent[\/td]\r\n[td]6d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]12th[\/td]\r\n[td]+4[\/td]\r\n[td]Ability Score Improvement[\/td]\r\n[td]6d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]13th[\/td]\r\n[td]+5[\/td]\r\n[td]Roguish Archetype feature[\/td]\r\n[td]7d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]14th[\/td]\r\n[td]+5[\/td]\r\n[td]Blindsense[\/td]\r\n[td]7d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]15th[\/td]\r\n[td]+5[\/td]\r\n[td]Slippery Mind[\/td]\r\n[td]8d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]16th[\/td]\r\n[td]+5[\/td]\r\n[td]Ability Score Improvement[\/td]\r\n[td]8d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]17th[\/td]\r\n[td]+6[\/td]\r\n[td]Roguish Archetype feature[\/td]\r\n[td]9d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]18th[\/td]\r\n[td]+6[\/td]\r\n[td]Elusive[\/td]\r\n[td]9d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]19th[\/td]\r\n[td]+6[\/td]\r\n[td]Ability Score Improvement[\/td]\r\n[td]10d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]20th[\/td]\r\n[td]+6[\/td]\r\n[td]Stroke of Luck[\/td]\r\n[td]10d6[\/td]\r\n[\/tr][\/table]\r\n[h1]Multiclassing[\/h1]\r\n[b]Ability Score Minimum[\/b]: Dexterity 13\r\n\r\nWhen you gain a level in a class other than your first, you gain only some of that class's starting proficiencies:\r\n[br]\r\n[b]Armor[\/b]: light armor\r\n[br]\r\n[b]Tools[\/b]: thieves' tools\r\n[br]\r\n[b]Skills[\/b]: Choose 1 from Acrobatics, Athletics, Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Perception, Performance, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth\r\n","hit_dice":"1d8","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","armor_proficiencies":"Light armor","weapon_proficiencies":"Simple weapons, hand crossbows, longswords, rapiers, shortswords","tools":"Thieves' tools","saving_throws":"Dexterity, Intelligence","skills":"Choose 4 from Acrobatics, Athletics, Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Perception, Performance, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth","starting_equipment":"You start with the following items, plus anything provided by your background:\r\n- (a) a rapier or (b) a shortsword\r\n- (a) a shortbow and quiver of 20 arrows or (b) a shortsword\r\n- (a) a burglar's pack, (b) a dungeoneer's pack, or (c) an explorer's pack\r\n- Leather armor, two daggers, and thieves' tools","spellcasting":"N\/A","class_features":"[h2]Expertise[\/h2]\r\nAt 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.\r\n\r\nAt 6th level, you can choose two more of your proficiencies (in skills or with thieves' tools) to gain this benefit.\r\n\r\n[h2]Sneak Attack[\/h2]\r\nBeginning 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.\r\n\r\nYou 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.\r\n\r\nThe amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table.\r\n\r\n[h2]Thieves' Cant[\/h2]\r\nDuring 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.\r\n\r\nIn 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.\r\n\r\n[h2]Cunning Action[\/h2]\r\nStarting 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.\r\n\r\n[h2]Roguish Archetype[\/h2]\r\nAt 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you emulate in the exercise of your rogue abilities from the list of available archetypes. Your archetype choice grants you features at 3rd level and then again at 9th, 13th, and 17th level.\r\n[quote]\r\n[h2]Steady Aim (TCE)[\/h2]\r\n3rd-level rogue optional feature\r\n\r\nAs a bonus action, you give yourself advantage on your next attack roll on the current turn. You can use this bonus action only if you haven't moved during this turn, and after you use the bonus action, your speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.[\/quote]\r\n[h2]Ability Score Improvement[\/h2]\r\nWhen you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 10th, 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. You can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.\r\n\r\n[h2]Uncanny Dodge[\/h2]\r\nStarting 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.\r\n\r\n[h2]Expertise[\/h2]\r\nAt 6th level, you can choose two more of your proficiencies (in skills or with thieves' tools) to gain the benefit of Expertise.\r\n\r\n[h2]Evasion[\/h2]\r\nBeginning 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.\r\n\r\n[h2]Reliable Talent[\/h2]\r\nBy 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.\r\n\r\n[h2]Blindsense[\/h2]\r\nStarting 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.\r\n\r\n[h2]Slippery Mind[\/h2]\r\nBy 15th level, you have acquired greater mental strength. You gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws.\r\n\r\n[h2]Elusive[\/h2]\r\nBeginning 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.\r\n\r\n[h2]Stroke of Luck[\/h2]\r\nAt 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.\r\n\r\nOnce you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.","subclass_options":"[h1]Roguish Archetypes[\/h1]\r\n[spoiler][h1]Thief[\/h1]\r\nYou hone your skills in the larcenous arts. Burglars, bandits, cutpurses, 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.\r\n\r\n[h2]Fast Hands[\/h2]\r\nStarting 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.\r\n\r\n[h2]Second-Story Work[\/h2]\r\nWhen you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain the ability to climb faster than normal; climbing no longer costs you extra movement.\r\n\r\nIn addition, when you make a running jump, the distance you cover increases by a number of feet equal to your Dexterity modifier.\r\n\r\n[h2]Supreme Sneak[\/h2]\r\nStarting at 9th level, you have advantage on a Dexterity (Stealth) check if you move no more than half your speed on the same turn.\r\n\r\n[h2]Use Magic Device[\/h2]\r\nBy 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.\r\n\r\n[h2]Thief's Reflexes[\/h2]\r\nWhen 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. |Thief[\/spoiler]\r\n[spoiler][h1]Assassin[\/h1]\r\nYou focus your training on the grim art of death. Those who adhere to this archetype are diverse\u2014hired 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.\r\n\r\nYour archetype grants you features at 3rd level and then again at 9th, 13th, and 17th level.\r\n\r\n[h2]Assassinate[\/h2]\r\nStarting 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.\r\n\r\n[h2]Bonus Proficiencies[\/h2]\r\nWhen you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the disguise kit and the poisoner's kit.\r\n\r\n[h2]Infiltration Expertise[\/h2]\r\nStarting 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.\r\n\r\nThereafter, if you adopt the new identity as a disguise, other creatures believe you to be that person until given an obvious reason not to.\r\n\r\n[h2]Impostor[\/h2]\r\nAt 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 mannerism.\r\n\r\nYour 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.\r\n\r\n[h2]Death Strike[\/h2]\r\nStarting 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. |Assassin[\/spoiler]\r\n[spoiler][h1]Arcane Trickster[\/h1]\r\nSome 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.\r\n\r\n[h2]Spellcasting[\/h2]\r\nWhen 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.\r\n\r\n[b]Cantrips[\/b]. 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.\r\n[b]Spell Slots[\/b]. The Arcane Trickster Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your wizard 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.\r\nFor 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.\r\n[b]Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher[\/b]. You know three 1st-level wizard spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the enchantment and illusion spells on the wizard spell list.\r\nThe 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.\r\n\r\nThe spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic.\r\n\r\nWhenever 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 an enchantment or illusion spell, unless you're replacing the spell you gained at 3rd, 8th, 14th, or 20th level from any school of magic.\r\n\r\n[b]Spellcasting Ability[\/b]. 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.\r\n[center][b]Spell save DC[\/b] = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier\r\n[b]Spell attack modifier[\/b] = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier[\/center]\r\n[h2]Mage Hand Legerdemain[\/h2]\r\nStarting 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:\r\n- You can stow one object the hand is holding in a container worn or carried by another creature.\r\n- You can retrieve an object in a container worn or carried by another creature.\r\n- You can use thieves' tools to pick locks and disarm traps at range.\r\n- 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.\r\n\r\nIn addition, you can use the bonus action granted by your Cunning Action to control the hand.\r\n\r\n[h2]Magical Ambush[\/h2]\r\nStarting 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.\r\n\r\n[h2]Versatile Trickster[\/h2]\r\nAt 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.\r\n\r\n[h2]Spell Thief[\/h2]\r\nAt 17th level, you gain the ability to magically steal the knowledge of how to cast a spell from another spellcaster.\r\n\r\nImmediately 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 if it is at least 1st level and of a level you can cast (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. The creature can't cast that spell until the 8 hours have passed.\r\n\r\nOnce you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. |Arcane Trickster[\/spoiler]\r\n[spoiler]X |X[\/spoiler]\r\n","table_data":"","source":"SRD, TCE, Homebrew","jsondata":"","tags":"Rogue, class, Roguish Archetypes, Thief, Assassin, Arcane Trickster","isShared":"on","templateId":"5460","blockId":"1377876","world":"51fe3476-6fd9-4fc4-8faa-edcbc826b361","folder":"25395"}
