Overview & Creation

Every town and city has its share of rogues. Most of them live up to the worst stereotypes of the class, making a living as burglars, assassins, cutpurses, and con artists. Often, these scoundrels are organized into thieves' guilds or crime families. Plenty of rogues operate independently, but even they sometimes recruit apprentices to help them in their scams and heists. This specific class is accustomed to make circumstances in which things bend to the favor of them, by a set up of coincidences and mishaps."Shit happens"


Class Features

EXPERTISE   At 1st level, choose two of your skill proficiencies, or one of your skill proficiencies and your proficiency with thieves' tools. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.   MISFORTUNE ATTACK   Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe's distraction,and bestow an environmental threat on them . Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d8 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you use environment to attack. The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Misfortune Attack column of the Mercykiller table.   THIEVES' CANT   During your rogue training you learned thieves' cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves' cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly. In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves' guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.   CUNNING ACTION   Starting at 2nd level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat.
