Rogue talents and powers (3pp)

Rogue

Shadow (Keyword) (New)

The Shadow keyword marks powers that have a more supernatural flavor than the rogue powers in the Core Book. The keyword itself does not have rules tied to it, but the Shadow Mastery talent improves these powers.

Rogue Talents

Arcane Trickster

Source DATP

You gain a bard, sorcerer, swordmage, or wizard spell as a bonus power. If it’s a melee attack spell, you can sneak attack with it. Starting from 3rd level, you can replace a rogue power with a spell from the same class, at two levels lower.

Adventurer Feat You gain three cantrips from the wizard list, which you can cast like a wizard. (Quick pick: Knock, Mage Hand, Prestidigitation)

Champion Feat You can use a melee weapon as an arcane implement for the spell. If you choose a ranged spell, you no longer provoke opportunity attacks with it.

Epic Feat When you are missed by a spell or magical effect, make a hard save (16+). If you succeed, you can use this spell yourself once during the same scene or battle. Use your Charisma modifier for any attack rolls with it.

An Offer You Can’t Refuse

Source ER

In a situation using social skills where violence is a potential outcome (such as a back alley negotiation or an argument over treasure), get a +3 bonus on the relevant social skill. If you fail, all enemies attacking you get a +3 bonus to all attacks in the first round of combat.

Artifact Fence

Source 13RTP

Buying and selling magic items is a risky business—not just because they are often stolen or outright illegal, but also because it takes a strong-willed individual to carry around that much magical paraphernalia without flat-out going insane. Your prior experience with fencing magical goods allows you to carry and use a number of magic items equal to your level + 1 without suffering item quirks.

Special: If you also take the Thievery talent,you may begin play with one Adventurer-tier magic item which you could normally use (although your specific choice of item is subject to GM approval). This item was stolen, either by you or by whoever gave or sold it to you; whether you’re aware of this information or not is your choice to make. As a result, you also begin play with an additional 1-point negative Icon relationship associated with the person from whom the item was stolen, and you can only receive complicated benefits from that relationship, even on a roll of 6 GMs are encouraged to be inordinately malicious when this relationship is triggered.

Adventurer Feat When you activate a rune to enhance an item, you can roll twice for the random enhancement effect and apply your choice of the two.

Champion Feat If, while using a number of magic items less than your level + 1, you choose to act upon a magic item’s quirks to the detriment of yourself or your fellow adventurers (or both!), you can improve the benefit granted by that item by 1 tier of efficacy for the duration of your next combat. The GM has final say on what constitutes detrimental, but generally speaking it should be something that makes them chuckle evilly.

Epic Feat When using a number of magic items above the limit of your level + 1, you can ignore quirks from item pairs with fundamentally opposing personalities

Babyface

Source DATP

Whenever you try to play innocent or get away with something, you can reroll a natural even failure on the skill check once. On the other hand, if you try to appear dangerous or intimidate people, you have disadvantage, as people just don‘t take you seriously enough (unless you do something extremely drastic or violent).

Adventurer Feat Your knack with people borders on the supernatural. You gain the Charm Person spell as a bonus power. (You can choose either the bard or the wizard version)

Champion Feat You no longer have disadvantage to intimidate.

Epic Feat You have mastered the switch from innocent to scary. Once per day, you can create a fear aura like a monster of your level, for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier.

Black Rose Agent

Source DATP

You gain a spell from the necromancer list. You can use Charisma instead of Intelligence for attack and damage with the spell, and you can use a melee weapon as an implement.

Adventurer Feat If an ally is engaged with the target, you can Sneak Attack with the spell. If you choose a ranged spell, you no longer provoke opportunity attacks with it. 

Champion Feat You can switch out a rogue power to gain an additional necromancer spell, at a -2 level penalty.

Catch Them Unprepared

Source DATP

In the first round of a battle, your attacks have advantage against any opponent that has not acted yet in the initiative order. If there is an ambush or surprise, the surprise round is considered the first round of combat for this talent.

Adventurer Feat Gain a free move action in the first round of battle.

Champion Feat If both attack rolls hit, the attack is a critical hit.

Epic Feat In the first round of combat, your attacks have advantage, even if the target has acted already.

Clear the Decks

Source ER

Whenever you have momentum, gain +1 AC equal to the number of engaged enemy combatants −1. Bonus applies only to attacks from engaged melee enemies.

Adventurer Feat Bonus now also applies to attacks from engaged ranged enemies.

Champion Feat You now also gain +1 PD equal to the number of engaged enemy combatants −1.

Epic Feat You now also gain +1 MD equal to the number of engaged enemy combatants –1.

Espionage

Source ER

You have the Spy background (by any name that feels fun, engaging, and correct for your character’s background) at its full possible bonus of +5, without having to spend your normal background points on it.

Activities covered by this background include: disguise, double talk, mimicking languages, the art of seduction.

Champion Feat Regardless of level, you gain harmless misdirection as a bonus power in addition to your normal number of powers.

Epic Feat Your Harmless Misdirection now prevents the enemy from attacking you during its next round, whether there’s an engaged ally or not.

Friendly Fire

Source ER

Enemy melee attacks that fumble trigger rerolls against the attacker’s engaged allies.

Adventurer Feat Enemies on ranged attacks trigger the “shooting into melee” reroll on misses, not the fumbles.

Champion Feat Once per day, the reroll automatically hits the enemy.

Epic Feat Once per battle, reroll automatically hits the enemy.

Improved Evasion

Source DATP

You take no damage or effects from missed attacks against your AC and PD.

Adventurer Feat Enemies cannot gain advantage on attack rolls against you, or roll more than one die and take the better result.

Champion Feat Enemies cannot benefit from increased critical threat range against you. They can only score a critical hit on a natural 20.

Epic Feat When you are hit by an attack against AC or PD that also targets other creatures than you, you take half damage.

Intrusion Expert

Source DATP

You have an uncanny ability to get where you are not supposed to be. Once per day, you can slip, sneak, bumble, or bamboozle your way into a forbidden place such as a treasure vault, a cloister or an invitation-only festival. (If the GM decides that getting to the goal is especially difficult, they can rule this will cost a recovery, to represent exhaustion or small injuries.) If you used this talent to get into a place, you can generally also get out again, but it doesn’t help you get out of a place when you are confined. It’s for intrusion, not escape.

(Note: This is the same as the rebel’s Transgress class feature in 13th Age Glorantha.)

Adventurer Feat You can reroll a natural even failure on a skill check once, when it involves unlocking doors, climbing walls of a built structure, or sneaking around inside buildings.

Champion Feat Subconsciously, you are always looking for an entry and exit point. If you have visited a place once, you can recall details such as guard placements, unsecured doors, climbable walls, and so on. You can reroll a natural even failure once on skill checks to remember such details about a location.

Epic Feat Your keen sense for architecture can tell you immediately where to find what in a building, even if you enter it for the first time, and even against attempts to hide or obfuscate features such as hidden stairs or wall safes.

Knife Thrower

Source DATP

Increase your damage dice with small thrown weapons to d8. You can use your Sneak Attack class feature with thrown weapon attacks, as long as the target is nearby and engaged with an ally.

You also gain 3 points towards a background in knife-throwing and knife-juggling performance arts.

Adventurer Feat You can use any melee attack rogue power as a thrown weapon ranged attack, as long as it could logically work. For example, you could use Thief‘s Strike with a thrown dagger, but you wouldn‘t be able to grab an item with it, when not engaged, only let if fall on the floor.

Champion Feat When using a small thrown weapon, you can reroll a natural 2 on the attack roll.

Epic Feat Once per battle, when the escalation die is 3+, make a ranged basic attack with a thrown weapon as a quick action. The attack uses a d4 as the damage die.

Knife Thrower

Source 13RTP

You deal 1d8 damage with a thrown dagger, but you deal 1d4 damage when attacking with a dagger in melee.

Adventurer Feat When you hit an enemy with a thrown dagger, you can spend your momentum to add the escalation die to your damage roll.

Champion Feat Add the escalation die to your crit range with thrown daggers whenever you have momentum.

Epic Feat Add the escalation die to your damage rolls with thrown daggers whenever you have momentum. Additionally, once per combat you can spend your momentum to reroll a missed attack with a thrown dagger.

Magical Savant

Source 13RTP

Choose a number of wizard cantrips equal to the highest of your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier; you can cast them like a wizard who lacks the Cantrip Mastery talent.

Adventurer Feat Choose one wizard spell of your level or lower. Regardless of the spell’s usual frequency of use, it is a daily power for you. When you cast this spell, it has an effective level equal to the current escalation die, up to a maximum of your own level.

Champion Feat If you have momentum, your Sneak Attack feature works when you cast this spell on an enemy that would normally be subjected to it, even at range.

Epic Feat You no longer need momentum in order for your Sneak Attack feature to work with your chosen spell. Additionally, your chosen spell becomes recharge 11+ after battle rather than a daily power.

Patient Assassin

Source DATP

You can study a target over an extended period of time to spot its weaknesses. Each hour you spend observing the target, you gain a +1 bonus to skill checks against it, up to a maximum of +3. You can build up a bonus against one target per level. If you study more targets than that, you lose the bonus against the target where the longest time passed since you studied it.

Adventurer Feat In a battle against a target you studied, you gain the bonus to initiative and to the critical threat range of attacks against it.

Champion Feat You now gain the bonus for each 10 minutes spent studying the target.

Epic Feat If you manage to surprise the target at the start of a battle, and you are the one chosen to start the ambush, set the escalation die to 1.

Ready to Roll

Source DATP

You start each battle with momentum.

Adventurer Feat When you are hit by an attack, you retain your momentum if the enemy‘s attack roll was a natural 12 or less.

Champion Feat You no longer lose your momentum when you are hit by an attack.

Epic Feat You gain momentum when you rally.

Scout Ahead

Source DATP

When you move in front in the party marching order or start scouting ahead, roll a d6 exploration die and keep the result. When making a skill check to interact with the environment, such as when determining directions or searching for traps, you may add the exploration die. You can also add the die to a defense against attacks outside of combat, such as a trap or a surprise attack. After you use the bonus, reduce it by one, until it reaches zero. You regain the die after the next quick rest.

Adventurer Feat When you add the die to a perception check (a Wisdom-based skill check), don’t reduce it.

Champion Feat Roll two d6 for your exploration die and keep the higher one.

Epic Feat If you have an exploration die when combat starts, add it to your first attack roll.

Second Identity

You have several other identities that you have cultivated over the years, to the point that you might be better known under your cover name than your real name. Create one such persona per point of Charisma modifier and specify for each one in which circles the persona is known.

Like the Trap Sense class feature, you can reroll a natural even failure on a skill check once when creating a disguise or lying about your identity. Since it takes a con man to spot one, you can also reroll a natural even failure on skill checks to notice other people in disguise, or lying about their identity. This includes disguises created by magic, such as the Disguise Self spell, and innate powers such as from a doppelgänger.

Adventurer Feat You gain a 2-point background for each of your created personas, which represents knowledge and skill sets that you gained when playing that role.

Champion Feat You gain a bonus icon relationship, and you can decide for each icon relationship whether it refers to your real self or the persona you have created.

Epic Feat Your ability to spot fake identities has evolved to a supernatural level. You have the equivalent of True Sight for spotting illusions.

Shadow Adept

Source DATP

Once per battle or scene, you can use an expended power with the Shadow keyword a second time. If you choose a daily Shadow power, you cannot use this talent again until the next full heal-up.

Adventurer Feat When you use a Shadow power, gain temporary hit points equal to your level + Charisma modifier (x2 at 5th level; x3 at 8th). For powers with an ongoing effect, you only gain the temporary hit points when you activate it. (Shadow Walk is considered a Shadow power for this feat)

Champion Feat Once per battle, you can attack the target’s PD instead of AC with a Shadow power. This includes powers like Shadow Poison that give a benefit to other attacks.

Epic Feat When you attack with a Shadow power, ignore any resistance the target may have.

Skirmisher

Source DATP

You can use your Sneak Attack class feature with a melee attack against a target that you were not engaged with at the start of your turn, even if that target is not engaged with an ally.

Adventurer Feat Enemies must succeed on a save to intercept you.

Champion Feat If you disengage or pop free from an enemy during your turn, you gain a +1 bonus to AC until the start of your next turn.

Epic Feat When you are intercepted by an enemy while you move, make a Dexterity + Level attack roll against their MD. If you succeed, the intercept fails.

Sniper

Source DATP

You take no attack penalty with bows and crossbows. You can use your Sneak Attack class feature with bow and crossbow attacks, as long as the target is nearby and engaged with an ally. 

Adventurer Feat You can use any rogue power with ranged attacks, as long as you can explain it logically. For example, you can shoot an arrow at a target’s pockets with Thief’s Strike, but the contents would fall to the floor if you’re not engaged with it.

Champion Feat If you spend a move action to aim, you can target PD instead of AC with your next ranged attack that turn.

Epic Feat If you spend a move action to aim, you always get your Sneak Attack with ranged attacks, even if there is no ally engaged with the target.

Soulbound Assassin

Source DPAS

You gain a warlock spell as a bonus power.

Adventurer Feat You gain a warlock pact power as a daily power.

Champion FeatAgainst cursed enemies, you always gain your sneak attack.

Epic Feat Gain a second warlock spell, at two levels below your class level.

Street Urchin

Source DATP

You gain a +1 bonus to saves against effects, and 3 points towards a low-life background.

The icons don’t care about a nobody like you, so you don’t start with any icon relationships. Instead of icon dice, you roll “friends in low places” dice. Any 5 or 6 means you get support from those who are just as destitute as you. Your friends can provide a reliable source for the latest gossip and rumor, connections in the shady back alleys, or a place to hunker down, away from the watchful eye of the authorities. They won’t provide much riches and treasure, although you never know what just happened to go missing when the maid swept through the lord chancellor’s bedchamber.

Note that as the story progresses and you become more powerful, the icons are likely to start paying attention. When you feel that there is enough story justification, you can swap one or more of your friends in low places dice for normal icon relations. At 5th and 8th level, you gain icon relationship dice as usual.

Adventurer Feat You can reroll a skill check once on an even failure to survive in urban areas, i.e. finding directions in the back alleys, scrounging for food, or finding shelter.

Champion Feat Increase your recovery dice to d10.

Epic Feat You’ve developed an uncanny sense of what’s really going on in a city, just by keeping your eyes open. Once per full heal-up you spend in a city, you can either ask the GM a question about “what’s really going on” or establish that fact yourself (within reason).

Unstoppable Momentum

Source DATP

When you gain momentum and didn’t have it already, you also gain a +2 bonus to AC until the end of your next turn.

Adventurer Feat You gain the bonus to all defenses.

Champion Feat You can use two interrupt actions between your turns, as long as you use both for rogue momentum powers.

Epic Feat While you have momentum, you can rally as a quick action.

Vampiric Drain

Source DATP

When you deal Sneak Attack damage to a living target, i.e. not a construct or undead, you heal hit points equal to the Sneak Attack damage.

Adventurer Feat When you score a critical hit against a living target with a Sneak Attack, that target is also dazed (save ends).

Champion Feat The target is now weakened instead.

Smoke Bomb

Source ER

Quick action; Daily

Target: You

Special: This power relies on some esoteric alchemical knowledge you’ve picked up during your career as a rogue, so it relies on you having a few small vials of strange reagents secreted on your person. It’s also worth noting that this power is one of the few rogue powers that doesn’t include an attack, so if you take it, you’ll have one fewer power-based attack than others. In exchange, you’re getting an effect usually reserved for outright magic
