Features:
Precision Strike - You've gained skills in exploiting the weaknesses of others
Once per turn when you have Advantage on an Attack Roll and that attack hits you gain additional damage equal to the Precision Strike Damage listed in the column above, based on your Rogue level. However, if you have an Ally adjacent to your target you can utilize this feature even without Advantage on the Attack Roll
Cunning Action
Your quick skills allow you to perform quick maneuvers. Using your Bonus Action you can Setup, Dash, Disengage, or Hide instead of using an Action
Setup - This Cunning Action can be used if you have not moved yet this turn and you have a Weapon that you are Proficient with equipped. When you use this Cunning Action you grant yourself Advantage on the first Attack Roll you make this turn but your Movement Speed is reduced to 0 until the start of your next turn
Roguish Skills - You have focused on some Skills with exceptional devotion
Choose two Skills or Tools that you selected from the Rogue List above at Level 1, gaining Expertise in them
At 5th, 8th, and 12th Levels you can select an additional Skill or Tool to gain Expertise with as part of this ability. You can apply these extra Expertise selections to any Proficiency you have gained, such as Background, Race, or via Multiclassing unlike the first 2 ones you select
Ability Score Improvement: When you reach a Level with this Feature you can increase any Ability Score by +2 or two separate Ability Scores by +1 each
Uncanny Dodge
From long efforts in improving your Dodging skills you have learned to do so even as an Attack is striking you if you saw it coming. When you are hit by an Attack that deals Damage you can use your Reaction to use this Ability, reducing the incoming Damage by half
Evasion:
You can quickly get out of the way of big issues, traps, or explosions included. When you succeed on a Dexterity Saving Throw you can use your Reaction to take no Damage or if you Fail you only take Half Damage
Slippery Mind:
You have hardened your focus and you gain Proficiency with Wisdom Saving Throws, or Expertise if you’re already Proficient
Reliable Talent:
You have perfected the skills to the point where you almost never miss, any time you make an Ability Check with a Skill that you’re Proficient with and Roll a 9 or lower you treat it like you Rolled a 10
Subclass: This is the point where every Rogue chooses a different ability to specialize in. Some decide that they need to pick up the arcane arts while others determine it’s their skills outside of combat that they need to improve, and some decide to forgo stealth and become a charismatic point of attention
Arcane Trickster:
I
Arcane Trickster Spellcasting
You can choose 2 cantrips and 2 1st Level Spells from the Wizard’s Spell List though your Magic is limited to Spells from the schools of Illusion and Enchantment; Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your spells, since the power of your magic comes from your ability to memorize complex sets of magical runes. You utilize your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your Spellcasting Ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the Save DC for an Arcane Trickster spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Additionally, you can select another Spell that you have a Spell Slot for (and within the Illusion or Enchantment Schools) every time you gain another Level in this Class, and when you do so you can also replace any Spell you already know with another one that you meet the prerequisites for. However, when you reach 4th, 8th, and 12th Levels in this Class you can select a Spell from any School of Magic from the Wizard Spell List instead
Rogue Hand
When casting Mage Hand you can turn it invisible, can stow one object the hand is holding in a container worn or carried by another creature, can retrieve an object in a container worn or carried by another creature, and can use thieves' tools to pick locks and disarm traps at range if you give the Cantrip your Tools before moving them. You can control the hand on your turn with a Bonus Action and can use a Sleight of Hand Check to do more complicated tasks, such as picking a lock
II
Stolen Magic
Whenever you finish a Long Rest you can select any Wizard Spell of a Level that you have Spell Slots for, you can cast this Spell once per Short Rest without expending a Spell Slot. This Spell does not have to be of the Illusion or Enchantment schools unlike your other Spells. Every time you finish a Long Rest you can change out this Spell
Once per Long Rest when you are targeted by a Spell you can use your Reaction to pull it into you, failing the Saving Throw automatically but gaining the ability to cast it once utilizing your own magic without expending a Spell Slot. It is limited to a Spell Level for which you have Slots for however.
