Rogue

Rogueish Archetypes

Some 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.

Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher

You know a number of spells from your spell list equal to your spellcasting ability modifier + one third of your rogue level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you can cast spells, and all but one must be chosen from the enchantment and illusion spells on your spell list.

When your level or spellcasting ability modifier increases, you learn more spells from your spell list 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 can cast spells. For instance, when you reach 8th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the spells you know with another spell of your choice from your spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have can cast spells, 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.

Mage Hand Legerdemain

Starting 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:

You can stow one object the hand is holding in a container worn or carried by another creature. You can retrieve an object in a container worn or carried by another creature. You can use thieves’ tools to pick locks and disarm traps at range. 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.

In addition, you can use the bonus action granted by your Cunning Action to control the hand.

Magical Ambush

Starting 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.

Versatile Trickster

At 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.

Spell Thief

At 17th level, you gain the ability to magically steal the knowledge of how to cast a spell from another spellcaster.

Immediately 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.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Brawling Fighting Style

Starting at 3rd level, you learn the brawling fighting style.

You are skilled at using your weight to your advantage. As long as you are not wielding a medium or heavy shield, you gain the following benefits:

• You are proficient with improvised weapons.
• Your unarmed strikes use a d4 for damage.
• When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike or an improvised weapon on your turn, you can use a bonus action to attempt to grapple the target.

Additionally, you can sneak attack with your unarmed strikes and improvised weapons.

Street Smart

Beginning at 3rd level, carousing, shadowboxing, and sparring all count as light activity for the purposes of resting for you. Additionally, once you have caroused in a settlement for 8 hours or more, you know all public locations in the city as if you were born and raised there and you cannot be lost by non-magical means while within the city.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 9th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Lesser Improved Unarmed Strike

Starting at 9th level the damage die of your unarmed strike increases by one size (d4 to d6, or d6 to d8).

Moxie Fuelled Fists

Starting at 9th level, your unarmed strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical attacks and damage.

Improved Unarmed Strike

Starting at 13th level the damage die of your unarmed strike increases by one size (d6 to d8, or d8 to d10).

Rabble Rouser

Starting at 13th level, word of your exploits travels quickly in cities and other settlements. Once you have taken a long rest by carousing in a settlement, you gain advantage on all Charisma (Persuasion) and Charisma (Intimidation) rolls made against the people who live there.

Greater Improved Unarmed Strike

Starting at 17th level the damage die of your unarmed strike increases by one size (d8 to d10, or d10 to d12).

Fighting Spirit

Starting at 17th level, when you have 4 levels of exhaustion or fewer and are reduced to 0 hit points, you regain half of your maximum hit points, half of your maximum moxie points, and gain a level of exhaustion. You cannot use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
