{"name":"Rogue (2024 Edition)","overview":"Rogues rely on cunning, stealth, and their foes\u2019 vulnerabilities to get the upper hand in any situation. They have a knack for finding the solution to just about any problem. A few even learn magical tricks to supplement their other abilities. Many Rogues focus on stealth and deception, while others refine skills that help them in a dungeon environment, such as climbing, finding and disarming traps, and opening locks.\r\n\r\nRogue DnD 2024In combat, Rogues prioritize subtle strikes over brute strength. They would rather make one precise strike than wear an opponent down with a barrage of blows.\r\n\r\nSome Rogues began their careers as criminals, while others used their cunning to fight crime. Whatever a Rogue\u2019s relation to the law, no common criminal or officer of the law can match the subtle brilliance of the greatest Rogues.","hit_dice":"1d8","hit_points_at_1st_level":"1d8 + your Constitution modifier","hit_points_at_higher_levels":"1d8","armor_proficiencies":"Light Armor","weapon_proficiencies":"Simple weapons and Martial weapons that have the Finesse or Light property","tools":"Thieves\u2019 Tools","saving_throws":"Dexterity and Intelligence","skills":"Choose 4: Acrobatics, Athletics, Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Perception, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, or Stealth","starting_equipment":"[u][b]Choose A or B: [\/b][\/u]\r\n[b](A) [\/b]Leather Armor, 2 Daggers, Shortsword, Shortbow, 20 Arrows, Quiver, Thieves\u2019 Tools, Burglar\u2019s Pack, and 8 GP; \r\nor\r\n[b](B) [\/b]100 GP","spellcasting":"","class_features":"[h3][b]Level 1: Expertise[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou gain Expertise in two of your skill proficiencies of your choice. Sleight of Hand and Stealth are recommended if you have proficiency in them.\r\n\r\nAt Rogue level 6, you gain Expertise in two more of your skill proficiencies of your choice.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 1: Sneak Attack[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe\u2019s distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack roll if you have Advantage on the roll and the attack uses a Finesse or a Ranged weapon. The extra damage\u2019s type is the same as the weapon\u2019s type.\r\n\r\nYou don\u2019t need Advantage on the attack roll if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of the target, the ally doesn\u2019t have the Incapacitated condition, and you don\u2019t have Disadvantage on the attack roll.\r\n\r\nThe extra damage increases as you gain Rogue levels, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue Features table.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 1: Thieves' Cant[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou picked up various languages in the communities where you plied your roguish talents. You know Thieves\u2019 Cant and one other language of your choice, which you choose from the languages tables.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 1: Weapon Mastery[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYour training with weapons allows you to use the mastery properties of two kinds of weapons of your choice with which you have proficiency, such as Daggers and Shortbows.\r\n\r\nWhenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change the kinds of weapons you chose. For example, you could switch to using the mastery properties of Scimitars and Shortswords.\r\n\r\n[spoiler]\r\n[h3][b]1. Cleave[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Greataxe, Halberd[\/b]\r\n\r\nCleave allows you to make an additional attack against a second target adjacent to your first. It's like getting a two-for-one special on your attacks! This property shines in crowd control situations, letting you carve through groups of enemies like a hot knife through butter.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]2. Graze[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Glaive, Greatsword[\/b]\r\n\r\nNever let a missed attack go to waste again! Graze lets you deal some damage even when you miss, adding a bit of your ability modifier to soften the blow of a bad roll. It's perfect for those of us who seem to be cursed by the dice gods.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]3. Nick[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Dagger, Light Hammer, Sickle, Scimitar[\/b]\r\n\r\nTwo-weapon fighters, rejoice! Nick weapons allow you to make an additional attack during your Attack action when wielded in your off-hand. This frees up your Bonus Action for other shenanigans while still getting that extra attack goodness. Pair this with the Dual Wielder feat for even more off-hand attack potential!\r\n\r\n[h3][b]4. Push[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Greatclub, Pike, Warhammer, Heavy Crossbow[\/b]\r\n\r\nWho doesn't love a good shove? Push lets you, well, push your target 10 feet away after a successful hit. It's great for battlefield control, breaking grapples, or sending enemies tumbling off cliffs (if you're into that sort of thing).\r\n\r\n[h3][b]5. Sap[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Mace, Spear, Flail, Longsword, Morningstar, War Pick[\/b]\r\n\r\nSap is all about giving your foes a bad time on their next attack. After you hit, your target has disadvantage on their next attack roll. It's like a mini-Stunning Strike for the non-monk crowd!\r\n\r\n[h3][b]6. Slow[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Club, Javelin, Light Crossbow, Sling, Whip, Longbow, Musket[\/b]\r\n\r\nWant to keep that pesky enemy from closing in or running away? Slow reduces their speed by 10 feet until the start of your next turn \u2013 perfect for kiting or maintaining that crucial distance in combat.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]7. Topple[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Quarterstaff, Battleaxe, Lance, Maul, Trident[\/b]\r\n\r\nNothing says \"stay down\" quite like Topple. This property forces your target to make a Constitution saving throw or fall prone. It's great for setting up advantage for your melee allies or just making your foes eat dirt.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]8. Vex[\/b][\/h3]\r\n[b]Weapons: Handaxe, Dart, Shortbow, Rapier, Shortsword, Blowgun, Hand Crossbow, Pistol[\/b]\r\n\r\nVex is all about focusing fire. When you hit a target with a Vex weapon, you have advantage on your next attack roll against that same target. It's perfect for taking down big, tough enemies or just being really, really annoying to one specific foe.\r\n|Weapon Masteries\r\n[\/spoiler]\r\n\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 2: Cunning Action[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYour quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. On your turn, you can take one of the following actions as a Bonus Action: Dash, Disengage, or Hide.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 3: Rogue Subclass[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou gain a Rogue subclass of your choice. The Arcane Trickster, Assassin, Soulknife, and Thief subclasses are detailed after this class\u2019s description. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Rogue levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass\u2019s features that are of your Rogue level or lower.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 3: Steady Aim[\/b][\/h3]\r\nAs a Bonus Action, you give yourself Advantage on your next attack roll on the current turn. You can use this feature only if you haven\u2019t moved during this turn, and after you use it, your Speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 4: Ability Score Improvement[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou gain the Ability Score Improvement feat or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Rogue levels 8, 10, 12, and 16.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 5: Cunning Strike[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou have developed cunning ways to use your Sneak Attack. When you deal Sneak Attack damage, you can add one of the following Cunning Strike effects. Each effect has a die cost, which is the number of Sneak Attack damage dice you must forgo to add the effect. You remove the die before rolling, and the effect occurs immediately after the attack\u2019s damage is dealt. For example, if you add the Poison effect, remove 1d6 from the Sneak Attack\u2019s damage before rolling.\r\n\r\nIf a Cunning Strike effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals 8 plus your Dexterity modifier and Proficiency Bonus.\r\n\r\n[b]Poison (Cost: 1d6).[\/b] You add a toxin to your strike, forcing the target to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target has the Poisoned condition for 1 minute. At the end of each of its turns, the Poisoned target repeats the save, ending the effect on itself on a success.\r\n\r\nTo use this effect, you must have a Poisoner\u2019s Kit on your person.\r\n\r\n[b]Trip (Cost: 1d6).[\/b] If the target is Large or smaller, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or have the Prone condition.\r\n\r\n[b]Withdraw (Cost: 1d6).[\/b] Immediately after the attack, you move up to half your Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 5: Uncanny Dodge[\/b][\/h3]\r\nWhen an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack roll, you can use your Reaction to halve the attack\u2019s damage against you (round down).\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 7: Evasion[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain dangers. 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. You can\u2019t use this feature if you have the Incapacitated condition.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 7: Reliable Talent[\/b][\/h3]\r\nWhenever you make an ability check that uses one of your skill or tool proficiencies, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 8: Ability Score Improvement[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou gain the Ability Score Improvement feat or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Rogue levels 10, 12, and 16.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 10: Ability Score Improvement[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou gain the Ability Score Improvement feat or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Rogue levels 12, and 16.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 11: Improved Cunning Strike[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou can use up to two Cunning Strike effects when you deal Sneak Attack damage, paying the die cost for each effect.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 12: Ability Score Improvement[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou gain the Ability Score Improvement feat or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Rogue levels 16.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 14: Devious Strikes[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou've practiced new ways to use your Sneak Attack deviously. The following effects are now among your Cunning Strike options.\r\n\r\n[b]Daze (Cost: 2d6).[\/b] The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or on its next turn, it can do only one of the following: move or take an action or a Bonus Action.\r\n\r\n[b]Knock Out (Cost: 6d6).[\/b] The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or it has the Unconscious condition for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. The Unconscious target can repeat the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.\r\n\r\n[b]Obscure (Cost: 3d6).[\/b] The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, or it has the Blinded condition until the end of its next turn.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 15: Slippery Mind[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYour cunning mind is exceptionally difficult to control. You gain proficiency in Wisdom and Charisma saving throws.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 16: Ability Score Improvement[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou gain the Ability Score Improvement feat or another feat of your choice for which you qualify.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 18: Elusive[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou are so evasive that attackers rarely gain the upper hand against you. No attack roll can have Advantage against you unless you have the Incapacitated condition.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 19: Epic Boon[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou gain an Epic Boon feat or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of The Night spirit is recommended.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 20: Stroke of Luck[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou have an uncanny knack for succeeding when you need to. If you fail a d20 Test, you can turn the roll into a 20.\r\n\r\nOnce you use this feature, you can\u2019t use it again until you finish a Short Rest or a Long Rest.","subclass_options":"[spoiler]\r\n[h2][b]Arcane Trickster[\/b][\/h2]\r\nThis is the Arcane Trickster according to the information WotC released so far, not yet the official 2024 version.\r\nSome Rogues enhance their fine-honed skills of stealth and agility with arcane spells, learning magical tricks to aid them in their trade. Some Arcane Tricksters use their talents as pickpockets and burglars, while others are pranksters, mischief-makers, or adventurers.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 3: Spellcasting[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou have learned to cast spells. See the Player\u2019s Handbook for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules as an Arcane Trickster.\r\n\r\n[b]Cantrips.[\/b] You know three cantrips: Mage Hand and two other cantrips of your choice from the Wizard spell list.\r\n\r\nWhenever you gain a Rogue level, you can replace one of your cantrips, except Mage Hand, with another cantrip of your choice from the Wizard spell list.\r\n\r\nWhen you reach 10th level in this class, you learn another Rogue cantrip of your choice.\r\n\r\n[b]Spell Slots.[\/b] 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\u2019s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a Long Rest.\r\n\r\n[b]Prepared Spells of 1st+ Level.[\/b] You prepare a list of spells of 1st level and higher that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose three 1st-level spells from the Wizard spell list, two of which must be from the Enchantment and Illusion schools of magic.\r\n\r\nThe number of spells on your list increases as you gain Rogue levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Arcane Trickster Spellcasting table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional spells from the Rogue list until the number of spells on your list matches the number on the table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you\u2019re a 7th-level Rogue, your list of prepared spells can include six Wizard spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination.\r\n\r\n[b]Changing Your Prepared Spells.[\/b] Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the 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.\r\n\r\n[b]Spellcasting Ability.[\/b] Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Arcane Trickster spells.\r\n\r\n[b]Spellcasting Focus.[\/b] You can use an Arcane Focus as a Spellcasting Focus for the spells you prepare for this subclass.\r\n\r\n[block:1482479]\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 3: Mage Hand Legerdemain[\/b][\/h3]\r\nWhen you cast Mage Hand, you can make the spectral hand invisible. You can control the hand as a Bonus Action, instead of an action, and through it, you can use Thieves\u2019 Tools and make Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) checks.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 9: Magical Ambush[\/b][\/h3]\r\nIf you have the Invisible condition when you cast a spell on a creature, it has Disadvantage on any saving throw it makes against the spell on the same turn.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 13: Versatile Trickster[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou gain the ability to distract targets with your Mage Hand. When you use the Disarm or Trip options of your Cunning Strike, you can also target that option at a creature within 5 feet of the spectral hand.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 17: Spell Thief[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou 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\u2019s 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\u2019t need to be an Wizard spell). For the next 8 hours, you know the spell and can cast it using your spell slots. The creature can\u2019t cast that spell until the 8 hours have passed.\r\n\r\nOnce you use this feature, you can\u2019t use it again until you finish a Long Rest.\r\n|Arcane Trickster\r\n[\/spoiler][spoiler]\r\n[h2][b]Assassin[\/b][\/h2]\r\nThis is the Assassin according to the information WotC released so far, not yet the official 2024 version.\r\nAn Assassin\u2019s training focuses on the grim art of death, using stealth, poison, and disguise to eliminate foes with deadly efficiency. While some Rogues who follow this path are hired killers, spies, or bounty hunters, the capabilities of this subclass are equally useful for adventurers facing a variety of monstrous enemies.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 3: Assassinate[\/b][\/h3]\r\nRogue Assassin DnD 2024You are adept at getting the drop on a target, granting you the following benefits:\r\n\r\n[b]Initiative.[\/b] You have Advantage on Initiative rolls.\r\n\r\n[b]Surprising Strikes.[\/b] During the first round of each combat, you have Advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn\u2019t taken a turn. If your Sneak Attack hits any target during that round, the target takes extra damage of the weapon\u2019s type equal to your Rogue level.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 3: Assassin's Tools[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou gain proficiency with the Disguise Kit and Poisoner\u2019s Kit, along with the two physical kits.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 9: Infiltration expertise[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou are expert at posing as someone else to aid your infiltrations. While in a disguise created using your Disguise Kit, you have Advantage on any Charisma (Deception) check you make while pretending to be someone else.

This damage ignores resistance to Poison damage.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 17: Death Strike[\/b][\/h3]\r\nWhen you hit with your Sneak Attack on the first round of a combat, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your Proficiency Bonus), or the attack\u2019s damage is doubled against the target.\r\n|Assassin\r\n[\/spoiler][spoiler]\r\n[h2][b]Thief[\/b][\/h2]\r\nA mix of burglar, treasure hunter, and explorer, you are the epitome of an adventurer.

On a roll of 6, you use the property without expending the charges.\r\n\r\n[b]Scrolls.[\/b] You can use any Spell Scroll, using Intelligence as your spellcasting ability for the spell. If the spell is a cantrip or level 1 spell, you can cast it reliably. If the scroll contains a higher-level spell, you must first succeed on an Intelligence (Arcana) check (DC 10 plus the spell\u2019s level). On a successful check, you cast the spell from the scroll. On a failed check, the scroll disintegrates.\r\n\r\n[h3][b]Level 17: Thief's Reflexes[\/b][\/h3]\r\nYou are adept at laying ambushes and quickly escaping danger. You can take two turns during the first round of any combat.
