Identity

Rogues work in the unwatched corridor, the open window and the moment an opponent's attention is somewhere else. They do not channel. They have the broadest skill list in the game and speak a professional cant learned in the trade. Most factions hire them, each under its own job title, and the Roguish Archetype chosen at 3rd level names the job: killer, con artist, hacker, spy, boarder, wrecker, spell-thief, burglar or stage magician.

Armor · light

Weapons · simple, firearms

Tools · Thieves' tools

Skills · choose 4 from Acrobatics, Athletics, Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Lore, Perception, Performance, Persuasion, Piloting, Sleight of Hand, Stealth, Technology

Level Progression

L1

Sneak Attack

Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or ranged weapon. You don't need advantage if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't Incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll. The Sneak Attack die count increases as you gain levels (see the progression below: 2d6 at 3rd, 3d6 at 5th, 4d6 at 7th, 5d6 at 9th, 6d6 at 11th, 7d6 at 13th, 8d6 at 15th, 9d6 at 17th, 10d6 at 19th).

Underworld Tongue

You know one of the following languages as your professional vocabulary: Meridian Cant, Federation Standard, High Aurelian, Thuulean (basic), or one criminal cipher of your invention. Other speakers of the language understand you. Non-speakers hear gibberish.

Expertise

Choose two of your skill proficiencies, or one skill proficiency and your proficiency with Thieves' tools. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
L2

Cunning Action

On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.
L3 Subclass feature

Roguish Archetype

Choose your Roguish Archetype: Assassin, Charlatan, Hacker, Operative, Pirate, Saboteur, Shadowstalker, Thief, or Trickster. Your Archetype grants features now and at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 18th level. A save DC in a Rogue feature that gives no formula of its own is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier.
