You have the skills to infiltrate and sow death wherever your target dwells. You gain Proficiency with Disguise Kits and Poisoner's Kits.<br>

Additionally, when you make a Charisma (Deception) Check while wearing a disguise created with a Disguise Kit, you treat a roll of 7 or lower on the d20 as an 8.

==== Stolen Identity ====

You have mastered the dark art of stealing another creature's identity. Over the course of an hour, you can craft a perfect disguise of a Humanoid you have slain, so long as you have access to the corpse and a Disguise Kit. To detect your disguise, a creature must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Insight) Check, contested by your Charisma (Deception) Check.<br>

Not all rogues rely on stealth and deception to defeat their foes. Ruffians are the rogues who like to face their enemies directly, and strive to overcome them with devastating blows and ruthless combat techniques. Often employed as hired muscle for thieves' guilds, criminal syndicates, and other organizations that don't shy away from force, Ruffians can be found in almost any village, city, or town where crime exists.

*As a Bonus Action on your turn, you can make an Unarmed Strike.

==== One-Two Punch ====

You gain a new condition for your Sneak Attack feature:

*You hit a creature with a Weapon Attack if you already hit that creature with a Weapon Attack this turn even if the Attack was not made with a Finesse or Ranged Weapon.

==== Imposing Glance ====

Your glance strikes fear into the hearts of the weak. You can use a Bonus Action to make a Strength (Intimidation) Check targeting a creature within 30ft that can see you, contested by its Wisdom (Insight) Check. If you succeed, the target is Frightened of you until the start of your next turn.<br>

Additionally, you gain Immunity to the Frightened Condition.

==== Dodge and Counter ====

You can redirect the force of your enemies' blows against them. As a Reaction when a creature that is one size larger than you or smaller misses you with a Melee Attack, you can force that creature to make a Dexterity Saving Throw with a DC of 8 + your Strength Modifier + your Proficiency Bonus. On a failed Save, choose one of the following:

*The creature is knocked Prone and its Speed reduced to 0 until the end of your next turn

==== Ruthless Strike ====

You ruthlessly beat your foes. You can use the Sneak Attack condition gained from your One-Two Punch feature even if you already used your Sneak Attack feature this turn.

<br><br><br>

Most people live their lives in safety, doing their best to avoid risky situations. Even most rogues use their skills in stealth and sleight of hand to avoid danger. However, there are some who seek this danger out, living for the adrenaline rush that comes with near death experiences. Daredevils are rogues who would rather leap across rooftops than walk the streets, and in turn, they develop a knack for avoiding certain death.

==== Aerialist ====

You gain a Climbing Speed equal to your Walking Speed.<br>

In addition, when you make a Running Jump, the distance you cover increases by a number of feet equal to your Dexterity Modifier.

==== Death From Above ====

You learn to turn your airborne body into a projectile. You gain a new condition for your Sneak Attack feature:

*You hit the creature with an Attack Roll after you move at least 10ft through the air and then land within 5ft of that creature on that turn. When you do so, the creature must make a Strength Saving Throw with a DC of 8 + your Dexterity Modifier + your Proficiency Bonus. On a failed Save, the creature falls Prone and takes an additional 2d6 Bludgeoning Damage.

==== Air Catching ====

Your experience with falling from great heights has made you an expert at landing without hurting yourself. Whenever you fall and are not Incapacitated, you can reduce any Falling Damage you would take by an amount equal to 5 x your Rogue Level. Additionally you don't fall Prone when you take Falling Damage.<br>

If you land on something soft that breaks your fall, like a wagon full of hay, you take no Falling Damage but do fall Prone.

==== Defy Death ====

Your affinity for risky behavior has been cause for many near death experiences, granting you a certain familiarity with death. You do not fall Unconscious while you are at 0 Hit Points. Instead, at the start of your turn you make a Death Saving Throw. On a successful Save, you take your turn as normal. On a failed Save, you fall Unconscious until the start of your next turn.

<br><br>

==== Airborne Strikes ====

You can maneuver yourself while airborne to strike at your enemies in unexpected ways. While you are at least 5ft above ground level, you have Advantage on Attack Rolls and Saving Throws.

<br><br><br>

While many rogues are adept with sleight of hand, you don’t stop there. You have developed a natural knack for deception using magic and curious projections of yourself to misdirect and confound those around you. Most rogues who follow this archetype are street magicians, burglars, or theatrical performers.

==== Conjure Projection ====

You gain the ability to project a perfect illusory Duplicate of yourself. As a Bonus Action, you can create this Duplicate in an unoccupied space that you can see within 10ft of you.

<br><br>

==== Improved Conjure Projection ====

You can use your Conjure Projection feature to create up to two Duplicates, instead of one, whenever you expend a use of that feature. You can move each of your Duplicates independently.<br>

While you’re within 5ft of a Duplicate, Attacks against you and the Duplicate have Disadvantage.<br>

==== Mirror Position ====

You and your projected Duplicates are practically interchangeable. When you’re hit by an Attack, you can use your Reaction to switch places with a Duplicate that you can see. The Duplicate then takes the Damage from the Attack instead, destroying it and causing it to shatter into magical shrapnel. If the Attacker is within 5ft of the shattered Duplicate, it also takes Force Damage equal to your Rogue Level.<br>

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining expended uses at the end of a Long Rest.

<br><br><br>

While all rogues enjoy risky behavior, the life of a Gambler revolves around this risk. They enjoy nothing more then high stakes situations where they can put everything on the line. Often found in taverns and casinos, these rogues cannot help but gamble away any wealth they acquire in their adventures.

You have Advantage on your Initiative Rolls, and you can choose which benefit you gain on the first Attack you make with your Pick a Card feature.

A shinobi is a covert agent, a mercenary in service to a feudal clan. They are a unique breed of elite warriors, acting as specially trained spies and mercenaries for great lords and shoguns. Where soldiers die on a battlefield, a shinobi specializes in espionage, sabotage, infiltration, assassination and guerrilla warfare.<br>

A shinobi's unique combat arts revolve around combining both stealth and ruthless assaults. Such tactics could never be practiced by samurai.

<br><br>

==== Blade of the Shinobi ====

You gain Proficiency with Longswords, which have the Finesse Property for you if you wield them with two hands.

<br><br>

==== Deathblow ====

A shinobi seeks to end a fight quickly and effectively. When you jump at least 10ft down onto a creature and hit it with a Melee Attack, or when you hit a Surprised creature with a Melee Attack, then that creature is knocked Prone and you can add an extra 2d6 Damage to the first Damage roll you make against it.<br>

In addition, you do not take any Falling Damage if you fall from 30ft or less, and you can use your Reaction to halve any Falling Damage you do take.

==== Relentless Onslaught ====

A shinobi fights relentlessly, using successive attacks to break an opponent’s posture. When you hit on an Attack with a Finesse Weapon that deals Slashing Damage and that meets at least one Sneak Attack condition, you can choose to not use your Sneak Attack feature to instead make an additional Attack as a Free Action.<br>

The number of additional Attacks you can make as part of this Free Action increases to two at 11th level, and increases to three at 17th level.<br>

==== Mid-Air Combat ====

A shinobi must move swiftly and silently, whether by climbing walls or leaping over rooftops to find the perfect ambush spot. You gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces on your turn without falling during the move.<br>

In addition, you can use a Bonus Action to launch grappling hook and propel yourself to another position. When you do so, choose a point within 20ft of you, you instantly move towards that point without spending Speed. You do not need access to a Grappling Hook to use this Bonus Action<br>

==== Shadowrush ====

You perfect the art of swift assassinations: like an owl on the hunt, you sweep upon your foe with a powerful attack, before using them as a platform to vault into the skies. If you move at least 10ft towards a creature you can lunge forward to make in an offensive strike. When you do so, make a Melee Attack against the target with Advantage. You can apply your Deathblow feature to this attack even if it wouldn’t otherwise qualify.<br>

Immediately after making the Attack, you can Jump 10ft upwards into the air without provoking Opportunity Attacks.<br>

==== Hesitation is Defeat ====

When a creature hits you with a Melee Attack, you can use your Reaction to add your Proficiency Bonus to your AC for that Attack. If the Attack misses you, you can then immediately make a single Melee Weapon Attack against that creature as part of the same Reaction.

<br><br><br>

Most assassins strike with physical weapons, and many burglars and spies use thieves’ tools to infiltrate secure locations. In contrast, a Soulknife strikes and infiltrates the mind, cutting through barriers both physical and psychic. These rogues discover psionic power within themselves and channel it to do their roguish work. They find easy employment as members of thieves’ guilds, though they are often mistrusted by rogues who are leery of anyone using strange mind powers to conduct their business. Most governments would also be happy to employ a Soulknife as a spy.

As a Soulknife, your psionic abilities might have haunted you since you were a child, only revealing their full potential as you experienced the stress of adventure. Or you might have sought out a reclusive order of psychic adepts and spent years learning how to manifest your power.

<br><br>

==== Psionic Power ====

You harbor a wellspring of psionic energy within yourself. This energy is represented by your Psionic Energy Dice, which are each a d6. You have a number of these dice equal to twice your Proficiency Bonus, and they are expended to fuel various psionic powers you have, which are detailed below.<br>

You regain all expended Psionic Energy Dice when you finish a Long Rest. In addition, as an Action you can regain all expended Psionic Energy Dice once per Long Rest.<br>

*'''Psychic Whispers.''' You can establish telepathic communication between yourself and others for perfect and quiet infiltration. As an Action, choose a number of creatures you can see up to your Proficiency Bonus and roll a Psionic Energy Die. For a number of hours equal to the number rolled, the chosen creatures can speak telepathically with you, and you can speak telepathically with them as long as you and a creature are within 1 mile of each other. A creature can’t use this telepathy if it can’t speak any Languages, and a creature can end the telepathic connection as a Free Action. You and the creature don’t need to speak a common language to understand each other.

:The first time you use this power after each long rest, you don’t expend the Psionic Energy Die. All other times you use the power, you expend the Die.

==== Psychic Blades ====

You can manifest your psionic power as shimmering blades of psychic energy. Whenever you take the Attack Action, you can manifest a psychic blade from your free hand and make the Attack with that blade. This magic blade is a Simple Melee Weapon, has the Finesse and Thrown (60) Properties, and deals 1d6 Psychic Damage. The blade vanishes immediately after it hits or misses its target, and it leaves no mark on its target if it deals damage.<br>

After you Attack with the blade, you can make a Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack with a second psychic blade as a Bonus Action on the same turn, provided your other hand is free to create it. The Damage Die of this second Attack is 1d4, instead of 1d6.

==== Soul Blades ====

Your Psychic Blades are now an expression of your psi-suffused soul, giving you these powers that use your Psionic Energy Dice:

*'''Homing Strikes.''' If you make an Attack with your Psychic Blades and miss the target, you can roll one Psionic Energy Die and add the number rolled to the Attack Roll. If the Attack then hits, you expend the Psionic Energy Die.

*'''Psychic Teleportation.''' As a Bonus Action, you manifest one of your Psychic Blades, expend one Psionic Energy die and roll it, and throw the blade at an unoccupied space you can see, up to a number of feet away equal to 10 x the number rolled. You then teleport to that space, and the blade vanishes.

==== Psychic Veil ====

You can weave a veil of psychic static to mask yourself. As an Action, you become Invisible, along with anything you are wearing or carrying, for 1 hour or until you dismiss this effect as a Free Action. This Invisibility ends early immediately after you deal Damage to a creature or you force a creature to make a Saving Throw.<br>

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest, unless you expend a Psionic Energy Die to use this feature again.

==== Rend Mind ====

You can sweep your Psychic Blades directly through a creature’s mind. When you Attack with your Psychic Blades and use your Sneak Attack feature, you can force that target to make a Wisdom Saving Throw with a DC of 8 + your Dexterity Modifier + your Proficiency Bonus. On a failed Save the target is Stunned for 1 minute, a creature Stunned in this way can repeat the Save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a successful Save.<br>

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest, unless you expend 3 Psionic Energy Dice to use it again.

<br><br><br>

You focus your training on the art of the blade, relying on speed, elegance, and charm in equal parts. While some warriors are brutes clad in heavy armor, your method of fighting looks almost like a performance. Duelists and pirates typically belong to this archetype.

A Swashbuckler excels in single combat, and can fight with two weapons while safely darting away from an opponent.

Your confidence propels you into battle. You add your Charisma Modifier to your Initiative Rolls.<br>

You gain a new condition for your Sneak Attack feature:

==== Panache ====

Your charm becomes extraordinarily beguiling. As an action, you can make a Charisma (Persuasion) Check contested by a creature’s Wisdom (Insight) Check. The creature must be able to hear you, and must be able to understand you.<br>

If you succeed the target has Disadvantage on Attacks against creatures other than you and can’t make Opportunity Attacks against creatures other than you. This effect lasts for 1 minute, until one of your allies Attacks the target or targets it with a Spell, or until the target is more than 60ft away from you.<br>

==== Elegant Maneuver ====

You can use a Bonus Action to gain Advantage on the next Dexterity (Acrobatics) or Strength (Athletics) Check you make before the end of the turn.

<br><br>

==== Master Duelist ====

Your mastery of the blade lets you turn failure into success in combat. If you miss on an Attack, you can reroll the Attack.<br>

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining expended uses at the end of a Long Rest.

<br><br><br>

You hone your skills in the larcenous arts. Burglars, bandits, cutpurses, and other criminals typically follow this archetype, but so do rogues who prefer to think of themselves as professional treasure seekers, explorers, delvers, and investigators. In addition to improving your agility and stealth, you learn skills useful for delving into ancient ruins, reading unfamiliar languages, and using magic items you normally couldn’t employ.
