CLASS FEATURES

All of the following are class features of the rogue.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Rogues are proficient with Basic weapons, Exotic Weapons, and any

other 2 weapon groups. Rogues are proficient with light armor, but not with shields. Same as in Player's

Handbook (with errata).

Path of the Rogue: At 1st level and every 2 levels thereafter, a rogue chooses any one path and gains stepshe 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 assassin path and the silvertongue. At 3rd level, she

may take 2nd step from assassin path, or 1st step from any other path. The available paths are: assassin,

expert, silvertongue, spy, and stalker. At 1st

level and every 4 levels thereafter, a rogue gains a second pathof the rogue. They must pick two separate ones that level. So at 1st, the rogue could advance assassin and

silvertonuge, but at 3rd he must pick only one path to advance.


3/8

Path of the Assassin:

Sneak Attack (Ex): At 1st step, an assassin gains sneak attack +1d6. This bonus increases by +1d6

for every step of this path. Ranged sneak attacks can be performed from a distance equal to total Perception

bonus * 5ft. Otherwise same as in Players Handbook.

victim for 3 rounds (she can do it even if engaged in combat with that creature) and then makes a sneak

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 rogues Int modifier) against the effect, it dies. If the

victims 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 attemptanother death strike.

praters Bluff check (a creature affected gains bonus equal to its base attack bonus, and additional +2 if itsevil, or 2 if its good, to that save). If it fails the save, a silvertongue benefits fromsanctuary spell against

that creature. This ability works the same way thesanctuary does, but with duration until the end of

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 rogues uncanny dodge ability improves. She can no longer beflanked. 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

determine the minimum rogue level required to flank the character. To take this ability, a rogue must have

uncanny dodge.

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

rogue may use a silencing strike. If attack is successful, the victim cannot make any articulate sounds or
