Expertise
At 1st level, choose two of your skill proficiencies, or one of your skill proficiencies and your proficiency with thieves' tools. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
At 6th level, you can choose two more of your proficiencies (in skills or with thieves' tools) to gain this benefit.
Sneak Attack
Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe's distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon.
You don't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll.
The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table.
Thieves' Cant
During your rogue training you learned thieves' cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves' cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves' guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.
Cunning Action
Starting at 2nd level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.
Roguish Archetype
At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you emulate in the exercise of your rogue abilities. Your archetype choice grants you features at 3rd level and then again at 9th, 13th, and 17th level.
Bonus Proficiencies
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain Mastery over disguise and poison.
Deadly Blow
Starting at 3rd level, you gain mastery over the muscles in your body. You have an advantage on attack rolls against any creature that has not moved. In addition, any surprise attack is critical.
Disguise master
Starting at 9th level, you are a master of thousand faces. You can spend seven days and 25 gp to create a false identity.
Face Swapper
At 13th level, you gain the ability to mimick another person. You must spend at least three hours studying behavior, speech, examining handwriting, andmannerisms.
Your ruse is indiscernible to the casual observer. If a wary creature suspects something is amiss, you have an advantage on any Charisma (Deception) check you make to avoid detection.
Swift Death
Starting at 17th level, you become a death wielder. If surprise attacked, a creature must roll a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, double your attack's damage against the creature.
