Trickshot

You focus your brainpower towards tinkering with your arrows or bolts. Due to this, you are ready for almost any situation with arrows and bolts to slow, burn, poison, blind, and weaken the poor souls that find themselves in the crosshairs of your weapon. With the right aim and the right bolt or arrow, this archetype of rogue will have a solution to every problem, and a problem to serve up for every enemy.

Tool Expert

At 3rd level, you have spent a lot of time working with your hands, specifically on bolts, arrows, and weapons in general.

When you choose this archetype at  3rd level, you gain expertise in tinkerer's tools, and proficiency in smith's tools.

Trick Shot

At 3rd level, you have designed and built a variety of different types of arrows and bolts. When you gain this feature, you learn to craft 4 different types of trick shot options of your choice (see "Trick Shot Options" below).

Once per turn you can fire one of these shots from a shortbow, hand crossbow, or light crossbow as a bonus action. This shot will not gain the normal damage from that weapon, but instead will only have the effects listed in the shot description. If the shot targets a specific creature, you must roll to see if it hits using your normal weapon modifiers. You must decide on which shot you are using before you roll to hit the target. Sneak attack cannot be used on these shots. You can use this ability an amount of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. 

You gain 2 more additional trick shot options of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class: 9th, 13th, and 17th level. Some of the options also improve when you become a 9th, 13th, and 17th level rogue.

Quick Tinker

At 9th level, you have mastered your own designs, and know them inside and out. Due to this it does not take long for you to put together some of your shot designs and build what can serve as a functioning shot.

Once per day when you finish a short rest you can recover 2 uses of your Trick Shot feature.

Clean Shots

At 13th level, you want to make each shot count, and let none of your arrows go to waste. You have tinkered with, and practiced with your weapon for many hours, making sure that when you need to land your shots, you can. Whether this be with an attachment to your bow, or a never missing eye, your Trick Shots will find their mark.

Twice per long rest, you can choose to fire your Trick Shot at advantage. This must be decided before you roll to hit. 

This feature cannot be used on shots that do not involve an attack roll.

Amplified Shots

At 17th level, you have learned to make some of your shots pack a little more punch than the rest. These shots are not to be taken lightly and should be used when the moment is right. 

Once per long rest you can make one of your shots an Amplified Shots. This has to be decided before rolling to hit if the shot requires an attack roll. An Amplified Shot has the following effects:

• You have advantage on the attack roll if it requires one
• The target has disadvantage on the saving throw if it requires one
• The area of effect or range is doubled if the shot has one
• If the shot has an effect that lasts until the end of the target's next turn, it instead ends at the end of the targets second turn after the shot
• Any damage rolled for the shot is doubled

Shots that have an area of effect or range include: Acid Shot, Explosive Shot, Piercing Shot, Ricochet Shot, Sticky Shot, Smoke Shot, and Trap Shot.

Trick Shot Options

The Trick Shot feature lets you choose options for it at certain levels. The options are presented here in alphabetical order. They are all arrows and bolts created by your character each day to be used throughout the day.
