Dirty Trickster

You've led a life of dirty tricks and foul play. Your best days might be behind you physically, but you've picked up a very particular set of skills along the way.

Basic Undercover Training

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with either the disguise kit or the forgery kit.

Master of Disguise

Gain proficiency with the disguise kit.

Master of Mischief

Gain proficiency with the forgery kit.

Poison Adept

Starting at 3rd level, you use dirty tricks to eliminate targets. You can add your proficiency bonus to poison DCs when using poisons on enemies. Your familiarity with poisons has given you resistance to poison damage.

You can spend time and gold to craft poisons from the table below. Choose whether it will be a injury poison (on a weapon), contact poison (on a surface or ingested in food), or an inhaled poison (a gas bomb filling a 5-foot sq. area). You must spend Cunning Points (similar to a monk's Ki) to apply (damage or contact) or throw (inhaled) a poison. Cunning points equal 3x your intelligence modifier. They regenerate after a short rest.

From level 3, you can use a bonus action to apply an injury poison to a blade or three arrows (tip: effects from different poisons do not stack). Doing this as a bonus action supersedes your ability to Sneak Attack for that round. Poisons last on a weapon for 1 minute (or 10 rounds) unless the description directly states otherwise. After the time has elapsed, the poison dries up and is no longer effective. Poison damage/effects can be used multiple times before the poison dries. I.E. if you apply a poison in the first round of combat, you can use the poison's effect up to ten times. All poisons must be used in a full dose which destroys it, meaning you must remove it from your inventory. 

From level 7, you can overcome enemies' resistance to poisons by spending an extra Cunning Point when applying a poison.

Cunning Points

You have a number of Cunning Points equal to 3x your Intelligence modifier. Cunning Points regenerate after a short rest.

You unlock some dirty tricks to use in combat. You learn more at level 9 and 13.

• True Grits - Spend 2 cunning points to inflict the blindness condition on an enemy. The duration of blindness is 30 seconds (5 rounds of combat). CON save: DC is DEX + proficiency bonus.

Dirty Fighter

Starting at 9th level, you add another very particular set of skills to your skillset. Choose to become either a potion master (Herbalist Adept) or experimental weapons expert Gadget Adept).

Moreover, you have learned a series of dirty fighting techniques to give you an edge in combat.

• Dead Rogue Sketch - Fall to the ground and pretend to be dead (3 Cunning Points).
• Shit Stirrer - Focus an enemy on another target (3 Cunning Points).
• Feint (Special) - Feign an attack to throw your opponent off-guard (2 Cunning Points during an attack)

Gadget Adept

You gain proficiency with Tinker's Tools and can create grenades and explosives. 

Items include (but are not limited to): Grenade, Fragmentation, Grenade, Smoke, Tangler Grenade, Bomb, Gunpowder, Keg.

Herbalist Adept

Gain proficiency in Herbalism to create potions. Your skills allow you to keep your potions in ideal conditions for maximum potency. When drinking potions with hit dice, you can choose to replace half of the dice with the maximum. E.g. If you drink a potion of healing, 2d4+2 becomes 1d4+4+2.

Poison Mastery

Spend 2 Cunning Points to add immune-system disrupting chemicals to your poison when applying. You must declare this when poisoning a weapon. Your attacks with the poisoned weapon completely ignore resistance and immunity to poison damage. Attacks with the poisoned weapon also ignore opponents' immunity to the poisoned condition. Does not stack with Poison Expertise (lvl 7).

Advanced Undercover Training

Years of experience sometimes just kicks in, giving you the ability to bluff, manipulate, and convince your way into and out of trouble. At 13th level, you gain the ability to spend an undercover point to get advantage on a Persuasion, Performance orDeception check. You can use this once per long rest at level 13, twice at level 15, three times at level 18, and four times at level 20.

You can spend 3 Cunning Points to gain advantage on a Disguise Kit or Forgery Tools check.

Also, your ability to apply poisons as a bonus action no longer has a 1 round penalty to sneak attack. You can apply poison then get sneak attack in the same turn.

New dirty tricks:

• Deafened Leopard - With lightning speed, clap your target's ears, bursting their ear drums (1 Cunning Point). Opponent must make a CON save (DC = DEX + Proficiency) or become Stunned until your next turn and Deafened for 1 minute.

Poisonous Tendencies

Starting at 17th level, you become a master of poisons. Working with poison for so long has rendered you immune to its effects as both damage and a condition. Also, every short rest you can use the Deadly Residue ability.

You can spend 4 Cunning Points to give a creature vulnerability to poison damage for one round by choosing their weakest points for you attack.

Deadly Residue

You use the residual poisons on your blade to infect your foe. You can only do this twice per short rest as the residue is used up and must be replenished. From level 19, as your poisons become even more virulent, you can use this special action 3 times per short rest.

All conditions last for 1 minute unless otherwise countered. An enemy must make a CON save of [your level]+[proficiency] - the enemy avoids the condition on a successful save. Roll a d10 and check the list below to see what happens to the foe:
