Rogue
Source Player Core pg. 164 2.0You are skilled and opportunistic. Using your sharp wits and quick reactions, you take advantage of your opponents’ missteps and strike where it hurts most. You play a dangerous game, seeking thrills and testing your skills, and likely don’t care much for any laws that happen to get in your way. While the path of every rogue is unique and riddled with danger, the one thing you all share in common is the breadth and depth of your skills.Key Attribute: DEXTERITY OR OTHERAt 1st level, your class gives you an attribute boost to Dexterity or an option from rogue's racket.
Hit Points: 8 plus your Constitution modifierYou increase your maximum number of HP by this number at 1st level and every level thereafter.
Roleplaying the Rogue
During Combat Encounters...
You move about stealthily so you can catch foes unawares. You’re a precision instrument, more useful against a tough boss or distant spellcaster than against rank-and-file soldiers.
During Social Encounters...
Your skills give you multiple tools to influence your opposition. Pulling cons and ferreting out information are second nature to you.
While Exploring...
You sneak to get the drop on foes and scout for danger or traps. You’re a great asset, since you can disable traps, solve puzzles, and anticipate dangers.
In Downtime...
You might pick pockets or trade in illegal goods. You can also become part of a thieves’ guild, or even found one of your own.
You Might...
- Hone your skills through intense practice, both on your own and out in the world.
- Know where to attain illicit goods.
- Skirt or break the law because you think it’s meaningless or have your own code.
Others Probably...
- Find you charming or fascinating, even if they think they know better than to trust you.
- Come to you when they need someone who is willing to take risks or use questionable methods.
- Suspect you’re motivated primarily by greed.

Ancestry and Background
In addition to what you get from your class at 1st level, you have the benefits of your selected ancestry and background.
Attribute Boosts
In addition to what you get from your class at 1st level, you have four free boosts to different attribute modifiers.
At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, you get four free boosts to different attribute modifiers. If an attribute modifier is already +4 or higher, it takes two boosts to increase it; you get a partial boost, and must boost that attribute again at a later level to increase it by 1.
Initial Proficiencies
At 1st level you gain a number of proficiencies that represent your basic training. These are noted at the start of this class.
Rogue's Racket
You've begun to develop your techniques and approach to a job, while building your reputation in rogues' circles. Choose a rogue's racket from the list below.
Sneak Attack
When your enemy can't properly defend itself, you take advantage to deal extra damage. If you Strike a creature that has the
off-guard condition with an
agile or
finesse melee weapon, an agile or finesse unarmed attack, a ranged weapon attack, or a ranged
unarmed attack, you deal an extra 1d6 precision damage. For a ranged attack with a
thrown melee weapon, that weapon must also be agile or finesse.
As your rogue level increases, so does the number of damage dice for your sneak attack. Increase the number of dice by one at 5th, 11th, and 17th levels.
Surprise Attack
You spring into combat faster than foes can react. On the first round of combat, if you roll
Deception or
Stealth for initiative, creatures that haven't acted are
off-guard to you.
Rogue Feats
At 1st level and every even-numbered level, you gain a
rogue class feat.
Skill Feats
You gain skill feats more often than others. At 1st level and every level thereafter, you gain a
skill feat.
Skill IncreasesLevel 2
You gain more skill increases than members of other classes. At 2nd level and every level thereafter, you gain a skill increase. You can use this increase to either become trained in one skill you're untrained in or become an expert in one skill in which you're already trained.
At 7th level, you can use skill increases to become a master in a skill in which you're already an expert, and at 15th level, you can use them to become legendary in a skill in which you're already a master.
Deny AdvantageLevel 3
As someone who takes advantage of openings, you are careful not to leave such gaps yourself. You aren't
off-guard to
hidden,
undetected, or flanking creatures of your level or lower, or creatures of your level or lower using surprise attack. However, they can still help their allies flank.
General FeatsLevel 3
At 3rd level and every 4 levels thereafter, you gain a
general feat.
Ancestry FeatsLevel 5
In addition to the ancestry feat you started with, you gain an ancestry feat at 5th level and every 4 levels thereafter. The list of ancestry feats available to you can be found in your ancestry's entry.
Weapon TricksLevel 5
You gain expert proficiency in simple weapons, martial weapons, and unarmed attacks. When you critically succeed at an attack roll against an
