How does one steal the power of a god? Known only as 'Knife In The Dark' before attaining greater power, they were a master thief.

A true genius of theft and subtlety, they stole the power of a god and got away scott free. Knife In The Dark acts through a special dagger, the Dusknife, that only you can summon, which grants the talents and abilities any thief would need to accomplish whatever the job requires.

#### Expanded Spell List
Knife In The Dark lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to your warlock spell list.

##### Knife In The Dark Expanded Spells
| Spell Level | Spell |
|:----:|:-------------:|
|  1st  |   *alarm, fog cloud*    |
|  3rd  |   *enhance ability, pass without trace*    |
|  5th  | *blink, sending*      |
|  7th  | *arcane eye, greater invisibility*     |
|  9th  | *passwall, skill empowerment*       |

### The Dusknife

At 1st level, by utilizing and expending a handful of metal equal to or greater than 1gp of worth, you summon a special knife made of solidified shade, as an action; this is the Dusknife. It is a simple melee weapon with which you are proficient. The Dusknife deals 1d4 psychic damage on a hit and has the *finesse*, *light*, and *thrown* properties (range 20/60). When you use the attack action with the Dusknife, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls.

The Dusknife may be used to pick locks and disarm traps as if you were using and had proficiency with Thieves’ Tools.

If you do not have your Dusknife, you can use a bonus action to cause the Dusknife to reappear in your hand.

At higher levels, the Dusknife becomes more powerful. Starting at warlock level 6, once per turn when you deal damage with your Dusknife, you add an extra 1d4 to the damage, 2d4 at level 10, 3d4 at level 14, and 4d4 at level 18.

<div class='descriptive'>
 When you pick your Warlock Pact at level 3, the class changes. Please see the next page for what improvements occur.</div>

### Thief’s Intuition
Also at 1st level, your patron imparts some of their grace, choose Sleight of Hand or Stealth to gain proficiency in.

Additionally, prior to making an ability check or saving throw that you don't have proficiency in, you may choose to add your proficiency bonus to that the roll (no action required). This feature can be used a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, and all expended uses are restored when you finish a long rest.

### Thief’s Talents
At 6th level, your patron grants you abilities they knew in life. You learn Thieves Cant, as per the Rogue feature.

Additionally, you may allow your Dusknife to guide you for the next minute (no action required), you gain Thief’s Talents. While you have Thief’s Talents, you have advantage on Dexterity saving throws and once on each of your turns you may use one of the following abilities:
<br> **Shadow Rope**. Cast *levitate* or *feather fall* without expending a spell slot which lasts until the end of your next turn. 
<br> **Honed Reflexes**. As a bonus action, take or plant an item on a humanoid or perform the Disengage, Hide, or Search action.
<br>

Once you have used this feature, you may not use it again unless you have taken a long rest or have expended a warlock spell slot to use it again.

### Armor of Shade
At 10th level, your Dusknife creates a protective cloak of shadows around you. After taking the Hide action or when rolling an attack with advantage while using your Dusknife, you gain temporary hit points equal to half your warlock level.

Additionally, the range with with you can throw your Dusknife improves from 20/60 to 30/90.

### Master Thief
At 14th level, your magics granted through the Dusknife allow you to sneak an entire crew into any area. 
Twice per long rest, as an action, you may cast *gaseous form* on up to 10 willing creatures you can see within 15 feet of you. When you cast this spell using this feature, the speed of a target of this spell becomes 60 feet instead of 10 feet.

## Pact of the Cloak
Your patron gives you cloak, a sheet of patternless cloth, woven with shadow and magic, warn over the shoulders that can range from floor-length and to mid-back in length. You decide if it has a hood and can change the size, texture, color of your cloak when you finish a long rest.

When attempting to Hide, you do not need to break line-of-sight to perform your Hide action.

Additionally, a number of times per long rest equal to your proficiency bonus, when you take the Hide action, you may become invisible. Your invisibility ends when you cast a spell, make an attack, or at the start of your next turn.

If you lose the cloak, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from your patron. This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous cloak. The cloak turns into mundane threads that unweave and blow away when you die.

#### Knife In The Dark Pacts
When you take different pacts with the Knife In The Dark patron, you gain the following for each pact:
<br>**Pact of the Cloak**: once per turn, when you attack with your Dusknife and roll with advantage or with an ally within 5 feet of your target, you may add 1d8 plus your warlock class level to the damage. 
<br>**Pact of the Blade**: You may use your pact weapon as the base weapon for the Dusknife. The additional damage dealt starting at level 6 may only be applied once on your turn and continues to be a d4. 
 <br>**Pact of the Chain**: If your familiar can see you, they can use their bonus action to give you advantage on the next melee attack you make with your Dusknife.
<br>**Pact of the Talisman**: In addition to using the talisman after failing an ability check, you may also use the talisman after missing an attack roll.
<br>**Pact of the Tome**:  You may use the Dusknife as an arcane focus. Additionally, you may change the damage type of a spell of any 1st level or higher to psychic or necrotic damage once per short rest.</div>
