Background Career: Alternate class abilities

Fence goods

Can try to sell for higher than normal using the following system: First, use an appraisal check to get the actual price. Then use the Gathering Info check when selling stolen goods to find a buyer: % of actual

0-10%	1 per day	DC 5
11-20%	2 every 2 days	DC 10
21-30%	1 every 3 days	DC 15
31-50%	1 per week	DC 20
41-75%	1 every 2 weeks	DC 25
76%-100%	1 per month	DC 30

If fail by 10 or more authorities have found out and you can't roll for that item again in the same city or town. plus they are after you. Every time you use this the DC goes up by 5 for next month. It does not go back down for 6 months. Every time you successfully sell something your Rep goes by 1 for black-market contracts.

Smuggling (Ex)

Can add +1 circumstance for every level you have in a class that grants a sneak attack dice to hide checks when attempting to smuggle anything past these types of NPCs(officials and police)

Improved Search (Ex)

You can spot a con a mile away, when dealing with any other rogue type you get to make an opposite check vs what they trying to do using either the normal skill( so hide vs spot) or use the same skill they are using( Hide vs Hide) if it is higher.

Spot Trouble(Ex)

Can make a spot check even when you would not be allowed to. If am going to be ambushed, they get an opposed spot or hide check vs group and if beat them spot them before the ambush is sprung. If successful by 10 or more Rogue spots them and can ambush them! For anything else, he makes DC 20 Spot to get an early warning when some trouble is coming. If makes a DC 30 check can completely avoid the trouble.

Killer (Ex)

By using his instincts at killing he can trade his sneak attack dice for extra damage on his weapons. For every 1d6 sneak attack dice he uses, can add 1 damage of P S or B to his weapon attack( must choose one), even if that weapon does not do that damage. However much he uses for that combat he cannot use those dice to sneak attack with and for whole combat adds that damage to his weapons attacks. The weapon still acts like the normal weapon(so if an energy weapon counts as an Energy attack for armor purposes) The can be used 1/a day for every 4 levels that have sneak dice classes in.

Gone again (Ex)

If the rogue is caught hiding by someone with a good enough spot, he can take a full round action move his normal movement and if can get out of sight can reroll a hide with a +10 bonus. Dark Speech(Su) You learn a smattering of the language of truly dark power. Prerequisite: Will save bonus +5, Int 15, Cha 15. Benefit: You can use the Dark Speech to bring loathing and fear to others, to help cast evil spells and create evil magic items, and to weaken physical objects. The four basic uses are detailed below.
Dread: Whenever you use Dark Speech in this manner, you take 1d4 points of Charisma damage, and every other creature in a 30-foot radius must attempt a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Cha modifier). The result of a failed save by a listener depends on the listener's character level and alignment, as detailed on the table below. Level (Alignment) Result 1st-4th (non-evil) The listener is shaken for 1d10 rounds and must flee from you until you are out of sight. 1st-4th (evil) The listener cowers in fear for 1d10 rounds. 5th-10th (non- evil) 5-10th (Evil) The listener is charmed by you (as charm monster) for 1d10 rounds. 11th+ Non-Evil The listener is filled with loathing for you but is not otherwise influenced. 11th+ Evil Listener is impressed, and you gain a +2 competence bonus on attempts to change his attitude in the future.
Power: Whenever you use Dark Speech in this manner, you take 1d4 points of Charisma damage. By incorporating the Dark Speech into the verbal component of a spell, you increase its effective caster level by 1. By using it during the creation of an evil magic item, you increase its caster level by 1 without increasing the cost.
Corruption: As a full-round action, you can whisper vile words at an inanimate object and reduce its hardness by half. This use does not drain you, but you cannot use the ability more than once on a single object.
Dark Unity: You can use Dark Speech to establish a hive mind in any swarm of vermin or animals with an Intelligence score of 2 or lower. Thereafter, you can give the swarm one command as per the suggestion spell (caster level equals your Hit Dice). Whenever you infuse a swarm in this manner, you take 1d4 points of Constitution damage.
Special: You gain a +4 circumstance bonus on saving throws made when someone uses the Dark Speech against you.
Normal: Attempting to utter a word of Dark Speech always ends in immediate death for a speaker who is not trained in its dark power. It is impossible to make someone use Dark Speech if he is unwilling because the language's pronunciation is so exacting
