Arsonist Trickster (5e Subclass)
Arsonist Trickster[edit]
Rogue Subclass
To some, fire is a sign of destruction but to others, it's a sign of rebirth. Controller of fire, heat, and death as some would say. Arsonist Trickster are rouges who have practiced the art of the flame and the wit of illusions to trick the minds of enemies and burn them to a fiery sinder. These rouge focus on three things: their stealth, wit, and fire to dominate the battlefield without being seen and love the scent of ash and smoke as all the worlds will burn for them.
