Base Class: Rogue
The half-elf crouched in the rafters, cloaked in dark leathers that shimmered faintly with otherworldly glyphs. A thin wisp of arcane energy coiled around her gloved hand, her sharp emerald eyes fixed on the target below. With a flick of her wrist, a silent bolt of crackling black-and-purple energy lanced forth, striking the mark squarely in the chest. Before the guards could react, she melted into the shadows, leaving only the scent of ozone and a cold silence in her wake.
Eldritch Assassins are rogues who have struck a pact with an eldritch patron, offering their skills in subterfuge and assassination for arcane power. These deadly operatives wield Eldritch Blast with precision, enhancing it to ensure their kills are swift and silent. Whether lurking in the darkness or blending into the crowd, an Eldritch Assassin can eliminate targets with spectral precision and vanish without a trace.
Level 3: Spellcasting
You have learned to cast spells.
Cantrips. You know three cantrips: Eldritch Blast and two other cantrips of your choice from the Warlock spell list.
Whenever you gain a Rogue level, you can replace one of your cantrips, except Eldritch Blast, with another Warlock cantrip of your choice.
When you reach Rogue level 10, you learn another Warlock cantrip of your choice.
Spell Slots. The Eldritch Assassin Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+ spells. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a Long Rest.

Prepared Spells of Level 1+. You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose three level 1 Warlock spells.
The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Rogue levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Eldritch Assassin Spellcasting table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional Warlock spells until the number of spells on your list matches the number in the Eldritch Assassin Spellcasting table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you’re a level 7 Rogue, your list of prepared spells can include five Warlock spells of level 1 or 2 in any combination.
Changing Your Prepared Spells. Whenever you gain a Rogue level, you can replace one spell on your list with another Warlock spell for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Warlock spells.
Spellcasting Focus. You can use an Arcane Focus as a Spellcasting Focus for your Warlock spells.
Level 3: Eldritch Sharpshooter
When you cast Eldritch Blast you may choose 2 of the following effects:
- Curved Shot - Your blast ignores 1/2 and 3/4 cover.
- Silent Assassin - You may ignore the spells verbal components.
- Called Hit - You may deal additional damage to the target equal to your charisma modifier regardless of whether the attack hits or misses.
- Sneak Strike - You may apply your sneak attack damage on this attack, as long as you have advantage on the attack or an ally is within 5ft of the target.
Level 9: Eldritch Camouflage
As a bonus action you may cloak yourself in eldritch shadows, your base AC becomes 12 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier. When cloaked in this way attacking from stealth does not reveal your exact position and you may stay in stealth.
Level 13: Eldritch Adapt
You may adapt your blast in one of the following ways, based on the situation at hand:
- If all of your blasts are aimed at 1 target then when 1 of your blasts hits, subsequent attack rolls may be made at advantage for the rest of this turn.
- If all of your blasts are aimed at separate targets then you may fire 1 additional blast at another target.
Level 17: Eldritch Escape
You gain the ability to cast the Misty Step spell as part of your cunning action and may do so at will.
In addition you may also cast Eldritch Blast as a bonus action once per short rest.
