Subclass Details

A Rogue Thief has access to the following features (in addition to their Rogue features):

Subclass Features

  • Fast Hands
    • Gain an additional bonus action.
  • Second-Story Work
    • You’ve mastered the art of falling and gain resistance to Falling Damage.
  • Supreme Sneak
    • (Action) Blend into the environment so completely that you become Invisible. (10 turns)
    • Invisibility ends early if you attack, cast another spell, take an action, or take damage.

Thief Progression

  • Level 3 – Fast Hands, Second-Story Work
  • Level 9 – Supreme Sneak

Tips & Strategies

  • Fast Hands allows for the best solo stealth attacks: use one bonus action to hide, use the main action to attack with ranged weapon, then the second bonus action to flee the area. Enemies will search where you were, and if they can’t find you, won’t attack.
  • Something easy to do is forget about their Second-Story Work feature, use it to evade enemies and stay in stealth by jumping from higher places and taking less damage.
