Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest. These are the Rogue's typical roles, and this build can cover all the bases reasonably well at the same time. Under the rules for backgrounds, you can replace a redundant proficiency with one of the same type, but what other set of tools do you want? It's usually a bad idea, but it is absolutely possible. Here’s a collection of magic items for rogues that I wound up not being able to use for another project, so you get them gratis.

I will not include 3rd-party content, including content from DMs Guild, even if it is my own, because I can't assume that your game will allow 3rd-party content or homebrew. HobgoblinVGTM: The ability score increases don't help much, but Saving Face is great on a class which frequently needs to depend on a single attack per round. Racial feats are discussed in the Races section, above. After reading this handbook, I encourage you to read my Rogue Subclasses Breakdown and my Rogue Spells Breakdown. Click here to edit contents of this page. BugbearVGTM: The Strength increase is totally wasted on a rogue, but reach is hard for rogues to get, you get Stealth proficiency for free, and Surprise Attack stacks with Sneak Attack so you can deal 3d6+weapon damage at first level and one-shot many enemies.

GoblinGGTR: See above under the general Races section. Also note that it's per turn, not per round, so you can potentially use your reaction to Sneak Attack a second time in a round. Wildemount uses the updated Orc racial traits rather than the original traits published in Volo's Guide to Monsters.

Nothing that a typical Rogue does uses Strength. Or a feat. WarforgedERLW: The flexible ability increase can give you the crucial Dexterity increase, but the bonus to AC isn't as important to the Rogue because it's so easy for the Rogue to remove themselves from situations where they would take damage, and you can rely on Uncanny Dodge to mitigate any damage you do suffer.

Orange: OK options, or useful options that only apply in rare circumstances 3. If you hit and kill your target, consider using Cunning Action to Dash and put some extra distance between you and anything dangerous. Lightfoot Halfling. If Criminal doesn't work for you, consider Noble. Red: Bad, useless options, or options which are extremely situational. GoliathEEPC: Goliaths are Strength-based melee monsters, which really don't work for the Rogue. We will use the ability scores below. Melee Rogues frequently go for two-weapon fighting because it provides a second chance to score Sneak Attack, and hit-and-run tactics are great way to get into melee to attack before retreating behind your party. Gnome: Intelligence and Darkvision work for an Arcane Trickster, but other Rogues won't get as much benefit from Intelligence. View and manage file attachments for this page. While the additional attack itself does a miniscule amount of additional damage, the additional opportunity to deal Sneak Attack damage is a massive mathematical advantage that only grows as you gain levels.

As a bonus action on your turn, you can take on an incorporeal form, during which you gain the following benefits: This incorporeal state lasts for one minute, or until you are incapacitated. Blue: Fantastic options, often essential to the function of your character. RPGBOT uses the color coding scheme which has become common among Pathfinder build handbooks, which is simple to understand and easy to read at a glance.

The Lightfoot Halfling Thief is, in my opinion, the most iconic example of the Rogue. TritonMOoT: See above under the general Races section. Because the expanded spell options are such an important part of the dragonmarks, if you're not playing a spellcaster you're giving up a huge part of your racial traits, which makes it exceptionally difficult to justify playing a dragonmark character who can't cast spells. Great for any build except the Arcane Trickster. Tiefling: Darkvision and the free spells offer some interesting options, especially with the numerous Tiefling subraces.
