Streetcrawler

While some rogues pick up their craft from organized crime or sticky-fingered mentors, you have gained your skills from the insects, rodents, and other vermin that reside in the nooks and crannies of urban sprawl. By observing the movements and abilities of these creatures, you have become adept at living in the shadows of the city.

Join the Swarm

At level 17 your affinity for the creatures of the city has grown so strong you can now call them forth to assist you in battle. When a creature you can see dies within 30 feet of you, you may use your reaction offer up the body to conjure a swarm of vermin.

• The summoned swarm appears where the body was located and is friendly to you and your companions. Roll initiative for the summoned swarm, which has its own turns. The swarm obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). If you don't issue any commands to it, it defends itself from hostile creatures, but otherwise takes no actions.
• The swarm uses the Vermin Swarm stat block.
• The swarm disperses after an hour.

Once you use this ability you cannot use it again until after a long rest.
