[edit] Class Features

All of the following are class features of the rogue.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Rogues are proficient with all simple weapons, plus the hand crossbow, rapier, sap, shortbow, and short sword. Rogues are proficient with light armor, but not with shields. Same as in Player's Handbook (with errata).

[edit] Roguery

At 1st level and every 2 levels thereafter, a rogue chooses any one path and gains a step she does not yet have. In order to take any step, a rogue must have all previous steps from the same path. For example, at 1st level, a rogue takes 1st step from the assassin path. At 3rd level, she may take 2nd step from the assassin path, or 1st step from any other path. The available paths are: assassin, expert, quicksilver, silvertongue, spy, and stalker.

[edit] Path of the Assassin

• Sneak Attack (Ex): At 1st step, if an assassin can catch a flanked or denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether he actually has a Dexterity bonus or not) opponents, he deals additional 1d6 points of damage. With a sap (blackjack) or an unarmed strike, an assassin can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack. The creatures immune to critical hits or with concealment receive only half the normal amount of sneak attack damage. Ranged sneak attacks can be performed from a distance equal to total Spot bonus * 5ft.
• Precision (Ex): At 1st step, an assassin can perform as standard action attack with any ranged or melee weapon. If she hits, she deals triple amount of her sneak attack damage. An assassin can perform such devastating attack only once per day. She gains one additional use of this ability per each step in the path of the assassin.
• Death Strike (Ex): At 2nd step, an assassin gains death strike ability. If an assassin studies his victim for 3 rounds (she can do it even if engaged in combat with that creature) and then makes a sneak attack with a weapon that successfully deals damage, she can opt to sacrifice all dice of sneak attack damage in an attempt to slay her target outright. If the victim of such an attack fails a Fortitude save (DC 10 + the number of sneak attack dice sacrificed + the rogue’s Int modifier) against the effect, it dies. If the victim’s saving throw succeeds, the attack is just a normal attack. Once the assassin has completed the 3 rounds of study, she must make the death strike within the next 3 rounds. If a death strike is attempted and fails (the victim makes her save) or if the assassin does not launch the attack within 3 rounds of completing the study, 3 new rounds of study are required before he can attempt another death strike. In addition, assassin’s sneak attack damage improves by 1d6.
• Master of Poisons (Ex): At 3rd step, an assassin becomes trained in the use of poisons and doesn’t risk accidentally poisoning herself when applying poison to a blade. All variable, numeric effects of a poison applied by an assassin are increased by one-half. In addition, assassin’s sneak attack damage improves by 1d6.
• Extreme Accuracy (Ex): At 4th step, if an assassin spends a standard action to make an attack, she ignores concealment and performs it as touch attack. This ability affects also assassin’s Precision ability. In addition, assassin’s sneak attack damage improves by 2d6.
• Deadly Venom (Ex): At 5th step, an assassin can create potent poisons even from second-grade materials. Once per day, by spending 30 minutes and 1/10th gold, she can create one dose of any poison, which loses its qualities after 24 hours. All poisons created by an assassin has DC increased by 2. In addition, assassin’s sneak attack damage improves by 2d6.
• Inevitable Blow (Ex): At 6th step, if an assassin spends a standard action to make an attack, she can attack incorporeal or ethereal creatures as if they were corporeal and material. In addition, assassin’s sneak attack damage improves by 2d6.
• Hidden Death (Ex): At 7th step, all poisons created by assassin are undetectable by magical means. In addition, assassin’s poisons affects even creatures immune to poisons, but they gains +6 bonus on their saving roll. An assassin adds his Intelligence modifier to DC of all poisons created by him. In addition, assassin’s sneak attack damage improves by 3d6.
• Cruel Backstabber (Ex): At 8th step, an assassin deals 4 points of Constitution damage with every sneak attack. Whenever he uses his Precision ability, he deals 12 points of Constitution damage instead. In addition, assassin’s sneak attack damage improves by 3d6.
• Poison in Veins (Ex): At 9th step, an assassin becomes immune to poisons. All poisons created by her gain Spell Resistance against spells such as Neutralize Poison or Delay Poison equal to 10 plus tripled assassin’s intelligence modifier. An assassin can coat his weapon with a poison as free action. In addition, assassin’s sneak attack damage improves by 3d6.
• Embodiment of Death (Ex): At 10th step, every assassin’s strike is treated as Death Strike. An assassin doesn’t have to study her victim. In addition, assassin’s sneak attack damage improves by 4d6.

• Lend Talent (Ex): At 1st step, by accepting a penalty on checks using a skill for which she has selected Skill Focus feat, an expert grants a competence bonus on checks with that skill to all allies within 30 feet. The penalty can be any number that does not exceed each step, and the competence bonus is equal to one-half the penalty (minimum +1). Activating this ability is a full-round action, and the effect lasts for as long as the expert remains conscious and within range.
• Apprenticeship (Ex): At 2nd step, whenever an expert is making a skill reroll, she adds +2 to its result.
• Athletic Agility (Ex): At 3rd step, an expert can use Dexterity in place of Strength when making Climb, Jump, or Swim checks.
• Jack of All Trades (Ex): At 4th step, an expert can use all skills untrained.

• Absolute Skill Focus (Ex): At 10th step, whenever an expert is making a skill check with a Skill Focus feat applied to it, she take a +10 bonus on that check. If she does, she loses the feat after the check resolves. Skill Focus lost this way can be used again on next day.

[edit] Path of the Silvertongue

If it fails the check, the creature is not denied its actions but can only use them on itself or the silvertongue. This ability works for one full round, and may be maintained for any number of additional rounds, but at each consecutive round a creature gains another check and save, and with cumulative +2 bonus on both.

As a full round action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity, a silvertongue can convince the creature that she is somehow immune or invulnerable to that creature’s actions, or that harming her is a really bad idea. A creature can ignore silvertongue's attempt if it makes successful Will saving throw check against opposed prater’s Bluff check (a creature affected gains bonus equal to its base attack bonus, and additional +2 if it’s evil, or –2 if it’s good, to that save). If it fails the save, a silvertongue benefits from sanctuary spell against that creature. This ability works the same way the sanctuary does, but with duration until the end of encounter. This ability is language dependant and can only affect creatures with Intelligence score of 3 or more (it’s not mind-affecting so can affect intelligent undead).

• Crippling Strike (Ex): When a rogue attacks an opponent that is denied his Dexterity bonus to AC, a rogue may use a crippling strike. If attack is successful, the victim takes 2 points of Strength damage. Ability points lost to damage return on their own at the rate of 1 point per day for each damaged ability.
• Defensive Roll (Ex): A rogue can roll with damage, reducing otherwise deadly blow to less harmful one. Once per day, when she would be reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by damage in combat (from a weapon or other blow, not a spell or special ability), the rogue can attempt to roll with the damage. To use this ability, the rogue must attempt a Reflex saving throw (DC = damage dealt). If the save succeeds, she takes only half damage from the blow; if it fails, she takes full damage. She must be aware of the attack and able to react to it in order to execute her defensive roll—if she is denied her Dexterity bonus to AC, she can’t use this ability. Since this effect would not normally allow a character to make a Reflex save for half damage, the rogue’s evasion ability does not apply to the defensive roll.
• Daring Posture (Ex): A rogue can use her posture and talk to provoke enemies into making mistakes and attacking poorly. She adds her Charisma bonus (if positive) as a dodge bonus to AC against all opponents that have intelligence of 3 or more and can see and understand her. Creatures immune to mind-affecting effects ignore this AC bonus.
• Hide in Plain Sight (Su): A rogue can use the Hide skill even while being observed. As long as she is within 10 feet of some sort of shadow, a rogue can hide herself from view in the open without anything to actually hide behind. She cannot, however, hide in her own shadow.
• Maximize Opportunity (Ex): A rogue adds her Dexterity bonus (if positive) to all damage rolls when making successful attack of opportunity.
• Improved Evasion (Ex): This ability works like evasion, except that while the rogue still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks henceforth she henceforth takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of improved evasion. To take improved evasion, a rogue must have evasion ability.
• Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): A rogue’s uncanny dodge ability improves. She can no longer be flanked. This defense denies another rogue the ability to sneak attack the character by flanking her, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target does. If a character already has uncanny dodge (see above) from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum rogue level required to flank the character. To take this ability, a rogue must have uncanny dodge.
• Insightful Reaction (Ex): A rogue learns to sense and react to dangers before they happen, with astonishing accuracy. She adds her Wisdom modifier to all reflex saves.
• Opportunist (Ex): Once per round, the rogue can make an attack of opportunity against an opponent who has just been struck for damage in melee by another character. This attack counts as the rogue’s attack of opportunity for that round. Even a rogue with the Combat Reflexes feat can’t use the opportunist ability more than once per round.
• Silencing Strike (Ex): When a rogue attacks an opponent that is denied his Dexterity bonus to AC, a rogue may use a silencing strike. If attack is successful, the victim cannot make any articulate sounds or cast spells that have verbal components for a number of rounds equal to the damage taken. A successful Heal check (DC 20) removes effects of this ability, as does healing at least 10 hit points with a single spell.
• Skill Mastery (Ex): The rogue becomes so certain in the use of certain skills that she can use them reliably even under adverse conditions. Upon gaining this ability, she selects a number of skills equal to 3 + her Intelligence modifier. When making a skill check with one of these skills, she may take 10 even if stress and distractions would normally prevent her from doing so. A rogue may gain this special ability multiple times, selecting additional skills for it to apply to each time.
• Slippery Mind (Ex): A rogue can escape from mind-controlling spells and abilities. If a rogue with slippery mind is affected by an enchantment spell or effect and fails her saving throw, she can attempt it again 1 round later at the same DC. She gets only this one extra chance to succeed on her saving throw.

[edit] Epic Rogue

The epic rogue is a trickster and a thief, a trap detector and a tale-spinner. Her skills are legendary and her tales of daring-do even more so. If you listen to the stories, there is nothing she can’t do.

• Hit Die: d6.

• Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 8 + Int modifier.

Path of the Rogue: An epic rogue chooses any one path and gains step she does not yet have. In order to take any step, a rogue must have all previous steps from the same path. If a rogue has 10 steps in one path, she can continue taking steps of that path, as described below.

• Path of the Assassin: Epic assassin increases Sneak Attack damage by +4d6 and gains one additional use of Precision per day at every step.
• Path of the Expert: Epic expert gains benefits of Secrets of the Trade ability at every step. She still can't invest more in Share Talent when taking skill penalty than he has steps.
• Path of the Quicksilver: Epic quicksilver increases her bonus from the Deadly Impetus ability by +4 and may use Defensive Roll an additional time per encounter at every step.
• Path of the Silvertongue: Epic silvertongue can add her Charisma bonus to any check, roll, or save one more time per day and knows one additional language at every step.
• Path of the Spy: Epic spy can use her spying sight ability one more time per day at every step.
• Path of the Stalker: Epic stalker gains a +1 bonus on saving throws made to avoid traps and magic symbols, and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by traps, at every step. She can also use her silence and invisibility spell-like abilities one more time per day each.
• Path of the Swashbuckler: Epic swashbuckler increases her bonus from the Canny Fencer ability by +4 and may use Pinning Duel an additional time per encounter at every step.

Lesser Trick: Epic rogue gains extra lesser trick at 22th level and every 4 levels thereafter (26th, 30th, 34th, and so on).

Greater Trick: Epic rogue gains extra greater trick at 22th level and every 4 levels thereafter (26th, 30th, 34th, and so on). Instead of taking a greater trick she may take an epic feat. The list of available epic feats is same as in Epic Level Handbook.
