Level	Prof. bonus	Features
1	+2	Expertise You gain Expertise in two of your skill proficiencies of your choice. Sleight of Hand and Stealth are recommended if you have proficiency in them. At Rogue level 6, you gain Expertise in two more of your skill proficiencies of your choice. Sneak Attack You know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe's 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's type is the same as the weapon's type. You don't need Advantage on the attack roll if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of the target, the ally doesn't have the Incapacitated condition, and you don't have Disadvantage on the attack roll. The extra damage increases as you gain Rogue levels, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue Features table. Thieves' Cant You picked up various languages in the communities where you plied your roguish talents. You know Thieves' Cant and one other language of your choice, which you choose from the language tables in "Character Creation." Weapon Mastery Your 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. Whenever 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. In play, the mastery property applies to the matching weapon in your equipment: name the kinds you trained with, and the Dungeon Master applies that property (Nick, Vex, Sap, Slow, …) to your attacks with them.
2	+2	Cunning Action Your 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.
3	+2	Rogue Subclass You gain a Rogue subclass of your choice. The Thief subclass is detailed after this class's 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's features that are of your Rogue level or lower. Steady Aim As 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't moved during this turn, and after you use it, your Speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.
4	+2	Ability Score Improvement
5	+3	Cunning Strike You've 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's damage is dealt. For example, if you add the Poison effect, remove 1d6 from the Sneak Attack's damage before rolling. If a Cunning Strike effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals 8 plus your Dexterity modifier and Proficiency Bonus. Poison (Cost: 1d6). 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. To use this effect, you must have a Poisoner's Kit on your person. Trip (Cost: 1d6). If the target is Large or smaller, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or have the Prone condition. Withdraw (Cost: 1d6). Immediately after the attack, you move up to half your Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks. Uncanny Dodge When an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack roll, you can take a Reaction to halve the attack's damage against you (round down).
6	+3	Expertise You gain Expertise in two of your skill proficiencies of your choice. Sleight of Hand and Stealth are recommended if you have proficiency in them. At Rogue level 6, you gain Expertise in two more of your skill proficiencies of your choice.
7	+3	Evasion You can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain dangers. When you're 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't use this feature if you have the Incapacitated condition. Reliable Talent Whenever 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.

As a Bonus Action, you can do one of the following. **Sleight of Hand.** Make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to pick a lock or disarm a trap with Thieves' Tools or to pick a pocket. **Use an Object.** Take the Utilize action, or take the Magic action to use a magic item that requires that action.

You've trained to get into especially hard-to-reach places, granting you these benefits. **Climber.** You gain a Climb Speed equal to your Speed. **Jumper.** You can determine your jump distance using your Dexterity rather than your Strength.
Level 9
Supreme Sneak
You gain the following Cunning Strike option. *Stealth Attack (Cost: 1d6).* If you have the Hide action's Invisible condition, this attack doesn't end that condition on you if you end the turn behind Three-Quarters Cover or Total Cover.
Level 13
Use Magic Device
You've learned how to maximize use of magic items, granting you the following benefits. **Attunement.** You can attune to up to four magic items at once. **Charges.** Whenever you use a magic item property that expends charges, roll 1d6. On a roll of 6, you use the property without expending the charges. **Scrolls.** You can use any *Spell Scroll*, using Intelligence as your spellcasting ability for the spell.

Courtier

Chosen at level 3

On a success, for 1 minute (10 rounds) you can deal Sneak Attack damage to that creature without having Advantage, but never while you have Disadvantage on the attack. Only one creature is marked at a time; a feint at a new target ends the old mark. The mark ends when combat ends.

Level 3
Bonus Expertise

Level 13
Pointed Wit
Choose one of three features: Conversational Parry, Disarming Manner or Verbal Riposte.

Cutthroat

Chosen at level 3

*Poison, Lies and the First Strike* You brew poison on every rest, lie as easily as you breathe, and the fight is often over before your enemy draws steel. (Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition, adapted.)

Level 3
Bonus Expertise
You gain proficiency in Deception, Insight and Persuasion (a skill you already know grants nothing extra). Choose two of these three skills: your proficiency bonus is doubled for checks with them. Adaptation of A5E: our expertise doubles the proficiency bonus instead of adding an expertise die.

First Blood
Your first attack in a combat against a creature that hasn't taken a turn yet has Advantage, and if it hits, it is a Critical Hit.
