Roguish Archetype

At 3rd level, a rogue chooses an archetype, and the Tranquil Blade is another option for that feature.

Tranquil Blade

You focus your training on seeing the world around you as it truly is, so that you can learn to better disappear into it. Often mistaken for monks, rogues following this path carry themselves with an unearthly calm and remarkable awareness of the world around them. You excel at finding the openings in your foes' guard no matter how they hide them, and blending into the world around you with the most minimal of obstructions.

Unarmored Technique

3rd-level Tranquil Blade feature

You have trained to defend yourself with only your perceptions and agility, as to focus your ability to understand the world around you. While you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier. Additionally, longswords gain the finesse property while you wield them.

Tranquil Mind

3rd-level Tranquil Blade feature

You have learned to calm your mind to the degree that you gain a supernatural awareness of your surrounding. As an action you can enter a meditative state, which lasts until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell).. While in this state you gain the following benefits.

  • You have blindsight with a range of 10 feet.
  • When you make a melee weapon attack against a creature, you can use your Sneak Attack against that target even if you don't have advantage on the attack roll, but not if you have disadvantage on it.
  • You can take the Dodge action as a bonus action.

Additionally, you can quickly enter this meditative state in times of danger. You can enter the meditative state as a bonus action once, and regain the ability to to so when you complete a short or long rest.

Fading Form

9th-level Tranquil Blade feature

Your tranquility within the world begins to make you blend into your surroundings. While you benefit from Tranquil Mind, creatures have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Wisdom (Insight) checks made against you.

Vision Unbound

13th-level Tranquil Blade feature

Your awareness of the world around you has grown sharper, piercing through anything that might shroud it. The range of your blindsight granted by Tranquil Mind is increased by 10 feet, and while you benefit from Tranquil Mind you have truesight with a range of 10 feet.

One With the World

17th-level Tranquil Blade feature

You have become as one with the world around you, and are indistinguishable from it while in your trance. While you benefit from Tranquil Mind, you can Hide even when clearly seen by a creature and at the start of each of your turns you can take the Hide action (no action required).
