Master Thief

Master thieves are known for perpetrating daring heists. They tend to develop a reputation and a cult of personality. A master thief might “retire” from hands-on work to run a thieves’ guild, spearhead some covert enterprise, or enjoy a quiet life of luxury.

Cunning Action. On each of its turns, the thief can use a bonus action to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.
Evasion. If the thief is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, the thief instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.
Sneak Attack (1/Turn). The thief deals an extra 4d6 damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of the thief that isn’t incapacitated and the thief doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.

Actions

Multiattack. The thief makes three attacks with their shortsword.
