Rogue: Difference between revisions

After gaining the Rogue Entry talent, you can take talents from any of the rogue tracks.

|When you take this entry talent, you gain the following abilities.

* <u>Sneak Attack</u>: Your Sneak Attack [[damage]] increases by +1d6 (if you had no Sneak Attack, it becomes 1d6). You can apply Sneak Attack damage to a creature that you hit with a melee attack with a light weapon if you had [[Tactical Advantages|TA]] against the target and no [[Tactical Advantages|TD]]. You may do this once per turn.

* <u>Skilled</u>: Gain +6 Skill Points, which you can spend on any [[skills]] with the Acrobatics, Influence, Observation, and/or Subterfuge tags.

|You gain 1 rank in the [[Charlatan]] profession. If you already have any ranks in the Charlatan profession, you gain +3 Skill Points in Savoir Faire, and +3 Skill Points that you can spend on [[Empathy]], Gossiping, Intimidating, Leadership, or Persuading.

|Your false identity now holds up to some scrutiny. After spending a day studying someone and at least a week in their area of residence, you can use the Impersonate ability.

* <u>Impersonate</u>: Roll an INT/Disguise check and an INT/ Forging check and take the average of the two rolls. This becomes your Identity Score. People inspecting your credentials, paperwork, or claims may make an INT roll, and if they do not beat your Identity Score, they do not get suspicious unless you give them a clear reason to be suspicious. You may have one active identity. You can only repeat your Disguise and Forging check by spending another day with the person and another week in their area of residence.

The creature automatically beats your score if they have interacted with the person that you are impersonating in the last month, the person you are impersonating is a well known individual in the area you’re in, or the inspector knows the individual that you are impersonating personally.

|''Repeatable.'' You gain +3 to Disguising and +3 to Forging checks.

|''Repeatable.'' You may have an additional identity. It takes you one hour to switch between identities.

|You may attempt to Charm someone who has been fooled by your Identity. Make a CHA roll vs LOG. If you hit, they treat you as a friendly acquaintance for 1 minute and do not know they have been Charmed. This does not work if the creature is in [[combat]].

* <u>Coin Toss</u>: (1⁄2 LUCK/Rest) Your next d20 roll becomes a 50/50 chance. If you roll an odd number, treat it as a 1. If you roll an even number, treat it as a 20. You regain all expended uses when you Take a Rest.

|''Repeatable.'' You gain an additional Sneak Attack die against creatures while you are disguised and your target does not know your true identity. You can take this talent up to six times.

|You can now spend 2 Luck Points to force a creature that you can see within 30 ft of you to reroll a d20 after they make an attack roll or after they inspect your Identity.

|If you have at least 1 Luck Point when you are reduced to 0 HP, you can regain 1 HP and immediately move 40 ft without provoking reactive [[actions]]. Doing so costs all of your remaining Luck Points.

|If you have at least 1 Luck Point when you hit 0 HP you can regain 1 HP and pretend to be dead. You begin Catching your Breath when you do this. Additionally, make a CHA/ Performance roll vs the LOG of each creature that can see you. If you hit more than half the witnesses, then you are believed to be dead (or the Identity that you are currently using is believed to be dead).

|You gain +3 In Savior Faire and +3 Skill Points that you may spend on any skill with the Influence tag.

 

* <u>Level 30</u>: The final cap for your CHA increases from 12 to 14.

<u>Incompatible</u>: Disciple of the [[Divine]], Initiate of the [[Occult]], Warden of the [[Primal]]

|You join Harlan’s Guild (Or another guild, as specified by your MC.) You may only gain the benefits of this talent after Taking a Rest in an area of civilization such as a town or village. You swear off all deific influence. You gain access to three poisons and can keep one vial of each on your person. A vial is enough for three doses of each [[poison]]. You may only refill these by Taking a Rest in a populated area. You learn how to identify fellow members of the guild who can provide this service to you, as well as clue you into potential contracts. If you break your oath, you may no longer refill your poisons until reparations have been made. You can spend 1 AP to coat a weapon that has the Light property. The first vials are free, but new vials cost 20 sc each.

* <u>Drake’s Breath</u>: Your attacks have a 50% chance to deal an extra 1d6 Fire damage for 1 minute. The extra damage occurs on odd-numbered attack rolls.

* <u>Ice Blood</u>: The first target struck with a weapon coated in this poison must make an END check with a DC of 10 at the start of their turns for the next 1 minute. On any turn where they fail, they gain the Frozen condition. A creature with an ML instead loses one of the actions on their actions list.

* <u>Harlan’s Breach</u>'':'' Your attacks ignore all Resist properties, as well as Immune Blunt, Immune Sharp, and Immune Physical, for 1 minute.

|''Repeatable (odd levels only).'' (1/Catch Breath) If your Weak Spot attack hits, you may move 5 ft for free. This movement does not provoke reactive attacks.  

Each time you take this talent again, gain +2 uses /Catch Breath.

|Weak Spot attacks that exceed the target's FORT by 5 or more cause Bleeding 1d4 for 1d6 rounds.

* <u>Garrote</u>: (1/Rest) By spending 3 AP, you may make a DEX vs ANT attack against a creature who cannot see you and is in melee distance. On a hit, you begin a special grapple that requires both of your hands. You can take no actions other than movement. Otherwise, this follows the normal Grappled rules. If their ML is less than half your character level, they are rendered Helpless and begin Suffocating while grappled in this way. Otherwise, the creature is silenced and staggered while grappled in this way.

|Your range for thrown [[weapons]] is doubled and thrown weapons can now trigger Sneak Attack.

* <u>Hamstring</u>: When a creature leaves your Melee reach, you can attack with a melee weapon by spending 2 Reactive AP. On a hit, that target’s movement is halved until the end of their turn.

* <u>Quick Strike</u>: When you hit a creature with a melee attack, you may spend 2 AP to teleport to another unoccupied space within 5 ft of the creature you attacked.

* <u>Preparatory Strike</u>: Make a weapon attack against a creature and then end your turn immediately. You add a bonus to your physical defenses until the beginning of your next turn. The bonus equals the number of AP you have remaining to use reactively.

* <u>Evasive Throw</u>: 1 additional AP as a part of a Thrown attack. If it hits, you gain +2 to your mental defenses against that creature and take no damage when missed, if you would otherwise take half damage.

|Spend 1 additional AP on an attack to gain [[Tactical Advantages|TA]] on that attack.

|Your Aimed Strikes deal +1 damage. Additionally, when you have one source of [[Tactical Advantages|TA]], you can ignore two sources of [[Tactical Advantages|TD]], potentially allowing you to use Sneak Attack.

|Your Aimed Strikes deal +1 damage. Additionally, when you have one source of [[Tactical Advantages|TA]], you can ignore three sources of [[Tactical Advantages|TD]].

|Your Aimed Strikes deal +1 damage. Additionally, when you have one source of [[Tactical Advantages|TA]], you can ignore all sources of [[Tactical Advantages|TD]].

You gain two vials of each of the three poisons when you rest in a populated area, and refilling them is free. Once per week, you can have a guild representative meet you where you are camping for refills, assuming your location is accessible without major magic or combat. The representative will not partake in combat or favors for you but may take messages back to the nearest town if you request it.

 

* <u>Level 30</u>: You gain one additional vial of each of the three poisons from this track each time you restock.

|You gain the Adept of the Psionic talent if you do not already have it. Your magic attribute is INT. Each time you level up and spend your talent point on a talent in the Psyblade stack, you gain +5 SP and +1 Psionic power.

* <u>Soul Rend</u>: (INT/Rest) When you deal psychic damage to a creature, it can no longer regain HP until the beginning of its next turn. You regain all expended uses when you Take a Rest.  

* <u>Psychic Bond</u>: (INT/Rest) Choose an ally within 30 ft of you and spend 2 AP. Gain [[Tactical Advantages|TA]] on enemies that take damage from that ally during the duration. This ability lasts for 1 minute. You regain all expended uses when you Take a Rest.   

|(INT/Rest) If you would miss an attack roll, you may spend SP to add to your attack roll total at a rate of 1 SP per +2. You regain all expended uses when you Take a Rest.

|Soul Rend now lasts until the end of the creature’s turn.

|Psychic Bond now grants [[Tactical Advantages|TA]] to your ally against creatures that you have damaged during the duration. Additionally, you can communicate telepathically with your Psychic Bond.

|While the TA benefit only extends to one ally, you can include up to eight willing creatures that you can see when communicating telepathically. One of these creatures must be the ally that you chose to gain [[Tactical Advantages|TA]].

|(1⁄2 INT/Rest) Spells with a range of self or touch cost you fewer AP: subtract your INT from the APC (min 1 APC). You regain all expended uses when you Take a Rest.
