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 14 (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.
Dampening Field. Magic tends to act wrong when cast near or at Alistair, magic AoE damage does not affect him, and all spells that target him have disadvantage on the roll. If the spell attack fails roll a D6 chance die, if it rolls high the spell reflects back at the caster, low it veers of course completely.
Luck's Retort. While being attacked in melee range roll a D6 chance die between Alistair and the attacker, if the attacker wins the roll the hit lands. If Alistair wins the roll the attack misses and Alistair gets an opportunity attack.
Mana Burn. When Alistair makes a grapple attack and succeeds he attempts to burn up the enemies spell slots, roll a D6 to determine which spell slot level is burned up. 1-5 it burns the corresponding spell slot or the next lowest one available. If a six is rolled the enemy actually gains the highest spell slot they have available back.
Multiattack. The thief makes three attacks with its shortsword.
Shortsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage.
Light Crossbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage.
Logic. Ranged attack roll +7 3d8 damage. (see items Logic and Reason)
Uncanny Dodge. The thief halves the damage that it takes from an attack that hits it. The thief must be able to see the attacker.
Mythic Resistance 3/day can choose to negate a saving throw.
