# Rogue: Propagandist ## Rebel and Pamphleteer You rose from the underbelly of empire to demand a better life for all. Your pamphlets and speeches can inspire hope, or fear. Whether from the soapbox or via pamphlet your proclamations turn the tides of rebellion. ### Propagandist Features | Level | Ability | |:---:|:-----------:| | 3rd | Wordsmith, Rabble Rousing | | 9th | Proclamations | | 13th | Grand Voice | | 17th | Master Essayist | #### Wordsmith When you choose this archetype at 3rd level you gain proficiency with caligrapher's tools, printing press, two skills from the following list -- history, investigation, insight, deception, persuassion. In addition you learn one language of your choice. At 6th level you may choose to have expertise in Printing Press. #### Rabble Rousing Your words inspire rebellion. You are able to summon a Swarm of Commoners. These commoners are allied with your cause, but are not willing to die for it. You lose an active Sneak Attack die for each use of this ability per long rest. The dice used determine how big the Swarm of Commoners is. The Swarm of Commoners has advantage on saves versus fear and are considered under the effects of the *Charmed* condition. #### Proclamations You can issue up to three proclamations per long rest. These proclamations gain bonuses that are equal to the number of Sneak Attack dice you have available at the time of proclamation. Their influence extends to a number of subjects determined by the proficiency bonus in the skill or tool used to deliver the proclamation. A tool would use intelligence (i.e. a 9th level Propagandist with an INT of 14 issuing a Proclamation of Safe Haven via a pamphlet would grant 6 readers the benefits of Safe Haven. The proclamation can be delivered via speech (10 minutes Persuassion, Deception, Performance), pamphlet (Printing Press), or cartoon (Caligrapher's Tools). Proclamations that require a save do so against a DC determined by 8 + Profeciency in delivery method. A full list of proclamations is included at the end of this document. #### Grand Voice Beginning at 13th level your words can rally your allies. You can use a Bonus Action to grant an ally an extra saving throw to escape the effects of the following conditions -- Charmed, Frightened, Stunned. At 17th level you may also remove one level of Exhaustion, up to level 4. You may only remove one level of Exhaustion in this manner. #### Master Essayist The strength of your words lasts. At 17th level any of your Proclamations (except Safe Haven) issued using a Printing Press grant their benefits/disadvantages until the subject takes a short rest. ### Printing Press (tool) These are the necessary tools to create pamphlets, books, and playbills. The press itself is too large for adventuring, but you would still have ink, a sheaf of paper, scissors, a few letter blocks and one or two signet blocks. ___ > ## Swarm of Commoners >*Gargantuan, Neutral* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 10 > - **Hit Points** 96 (24d8) > - **Speed** 20 >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|10 (0)|10 (0)|10 (0)|10 (0)|10 (0)|10 (0)| >___ > - **Saving Throws** saving_throws > - **Damage Resistances** Bludgeoning, Piercing, Slashing > - **Condition Immunities** Charmed, Frightened, Grappled, Paralyzed, Petrified, Prone, Restrained, Stunned > - **Senses** passive Perception 10 > - **Languages** Common (or 1 language of a peoples) > - **Challenge** Challenge and Xp > ___ > ***Swarm***.
