Rogue

Class Notes

Available as listed in the Player's Handbook.

• Halflings, of both the sea tribes and the land, are commonly rogues (of course).
• Gnomes have a fair quantity of rogues, often known as tinkers.
• The Guild of the Iron Rose often employs the more honest, or at least clever, rogues.

Roguish Archetypes

The following Roguish Archetypes are available, as noted:

• Thief (PHB)
  • A classic!
• Assassin (PHB)
  • Provisionally available; consult the DM.
• Arcane Trickster
  • Uncommon outside the Jade Imperium and the City-State of Haven.
• Inquisitive (Xanathar's)
  • Common in the merchant Houses of Luminaux.
• Mastermind (Xanathar's)
• Scout (Xanathar's)
• Swashbuckler (Xanathar's)
  • The first people to fight in a lightly-armored, fencing style were fighter/rogues in Luminaux. As this style become more and more popular, it has taken on a life of its own. It is now possible to train simply as a swashbuckler from the start, maximizing the usage of light blades and light armor training.
  • Training: There are a growing number of schools, both underground and fully public, teaching the dueling arts.
  • The most well known are Felix and Jonathan's School of Swashbuckling and Derring-Do, and Darkthorne Academy of Swordsmanship, both in Luminaux.
  • A third dueling school, the Temple of the Guiding Light, is not quite as popular with Rogues but has begun to include paladins of Pelor in its roster.
  • Several of the Halfling clans have taken to the swashbuckler style, as well.
  • All swashbuckler Rogues gain proficiency with Firearms
• Phantom (Tasha's)
  • Masters of the gray area between light and dark, Phantom Rogues have some uncanny abilities bordering on necromancy.
  • This style of rogue was created before the rise of the Church of the Sun and Moon. The Halfling Clan Chadaarth, being chased by a platoon of Dwarves, drove their entire wagon train into the shadow of Mt. Daneasus and vanished without a trace. Since then, people have spotted the clan all over the world, driving their ghost wagons against the rising of the sun.
  • Being a Phantom Rogue means being one of the Halfling Clan Chadaarth, either by blood or adoption. No exceptions.
