Hi, I'm creating my fist 2024 rogue and Ive never built one before.
My character is a black dragonborn rogue named Rustin Cohlscale (based on the True Detective character's personality).
Here's what Ive gathered from the 2024 rules, (please correct me if Im wrong)
Rustin's training with weapons allows him to use the mastery property of Daggers: Nick. When he makes the extra attack of the Light property, he can make it as part of the Attack action instead of as a Bonus Action. He can make this extra attack only once per turn.
So Short Sword + Dagger = 1 Action
Rustin's training also allows him to use the mastery property of Shortswords: Vex. If he hits a creature with a Shortsword and deals damage to the creature, he has Advantage on his next attack roll against that creature before the end of his next turn.
Cunning Action. His quick thinking and agility allow him to move and act quickly. On Rust's turn, he can take one of the following actions as a Bonus Action: Dash, Disengage, or Hide.
Dash. When Rustin takes the Dash action, he gains extra movement for the current turn. The increase equals his Speed after applying any modifiers. With a Speed of 30 feet, for example, he can move up to 60 feet on his turn if he Dashes.
So... Weapon mastery property Nick, plus Cunning Action means Rustin can stab with the short sword AND dagger AND still move 60' in a turn.
Plus if he has Advantage (Vex) on the target OR an ally is within 5' of the target he can add Sneak Attack damage (3d6) to one weapon attack.
Opportunity Attack as Rust dashes away after striking? Uncanny Dodge. When an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack roll, you can take a Reaction to halve the attack’s damage against you (round down).
Therefore this rogue can stab+stab+dash in a single turn?
You have all of the mechanics correctly. You an attack with both weapons as part of the Attack action, hitting with your Shortsword will grant you advantage on the attack with your Dagger allowing you to apply Sneak Attack, and you can still use Cunning Action to Dash, Disengage, or Hide as a Bonus Action.

Wait a minute. If you have already attacked, how do you sneak attack with another swing?
This reads as flat out cheating.
If you move 30 feet you can then dash for 30 more feet.
If you attack, you have not moved, but you can dash for 30 feet.
You can not attack and move for 60 feet. Wouldn't that be 3 actions?
