Master Thief (5e Class)

Master Thief

Master Thieves are those who have trained for years to become masters the art of thieving. They are the "Key to the World"... They can pick any lock and steal anything. Master Thieves are quick, agile and cunning. They are especially adept in bows and daggers to surprise an enemy from stealth or scout, or to deliver critical hits.

To maintain their nimbleness and stealth, thieves typically utilize Light Armor, and use light shields. They are especially adept at using light weight weapons as the dagger, short sword, broadsword, sabre, war axe, longbow, and short bow.

The Master Thief is the archetypal Stealth character, being masters of the three Dexterity Skills(Acrobatics, Sleight of Hand and Stealth). This naturally makes them great at subterfuge and burglary. On the downside, they are less able in combat.

Stealth is a core thief skill. When plying their shady trade in towns and cities, stealth lets thieves avoid the attention of guards, enemies and house owners, as well as offering opportunities to pick a few pockets. When out adventuring, a sneaky thief can avoid dangerous enemies or deliver powerful Marksman sneak attacks. Security allows the thief to bypass locked doors, or to pilfer dungeon chests full of valuable loot right under the noses of their guardians.

Sneaky in social skills too, Mercantile comes in handy when a thief is selling off their (possibly ill-gotten) gains. High Charisma is needed for a Master Theif as it helps butter up merchants to get even better prices, but perhaps more importantly is also key to resolving some quests without confrontation.

Marksman/archery is the only offensive skill that the thief has. Fortunately, it works well with their other skills; Acrobatics is great for getting to safe sniping perches, Stealth provides a damage boost against unaware enemies, and Light Armor provides some protection without slowing the thief down too much. Thieves prefer to fight using ambushes and evasion, placing guile above brawn. A thief is fast, agile, and highly mobile, and can make effective long range attacks with bows. However, they can find themselves in trouble if they let themselves get cornered by powerful melee opponents.

Creating a Master Thief

Any race can train to become a master thief, providing they are patient and have a high dexterity. A Master Thief can have any alignment. Most are Chaotic Neutral or even True Neutral. There may be a few of those who have turned to evil and murder. But most are just trying to make some gold without the need for violence.

Treasure Hunting

At 1st level, you have an almost supernatural eye for treasure. As an action, you can open your awareness for valuable objects, and know the location of any treasure within 60 feet that is not protected from divination magic. This sense doesn't tell you specific information about the object.

The object identified by this ability must surpass a value of golden pieces equal to 10 x your level in this class. This ability can also identify groups of objects in the same bag, chest, box or similar container, such as a group of jewels or coins in that amount.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining your uses after finishing a long rest.

Thievery

Starting at 1st level, you learn special tactics and tricks from your criminal career. Your ability to perform these tricks is determined by an amount of cunning dice you have.

Cunning Dice

You gain an amount of cunning dice equal to twice your thief level. Your cunning die is a d8. It becomes a d10 at 5th level and a d12 at 9th level. You regain all your expended thievery dice when you finish a long rest.

Cunning Recovery

You can regain your cunning by outsmarting an opponent. If you have no cunning dice left, you can take the Dodge action to avoid a hostile creature's attacks and try to regain cunning. If the creature attacks you and misses while dodging, you regain 1 cunning die.

Using your Cunning Dice

You can expend cunning dice to gain a couple of different benefits. These are shown on your Cunning Tricks list down below.

Expert

Also at 1st level, you are extremely apt with your specific skillset. Whenever you make a check with an ability check, attack roll or saving throw adding your proficiency bonus, you can choose to double your proficiency bonus for that roll, if it isn't already doubled.

You can use this feature after rolling the check, but before knowing if it succeeds. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain your uses after finishing a long rest.

Adaptable

At 2nd level, you can quickly adapt to any situation. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can choose one skill from the Master Thief skill list, or with one of the following tools: Forgery Kit, Poisoner's Supplies, Disguise Kit or gaming sets. You gain proficiency with the chosen skill until you finish a long rest.

Starting at 10th level, you can use this feature when you finish a long rest to gain proficiency in one saving throw of your choice until you finish your next rest. At 15th level, you can choose to double your proficiency bonus with a saving throw or ability check you are already proficient with.

Tools of Trade

Starting at 2nd level, if you have proficiency with thieve's tools, forgery kit, poisoner's supplies, disguise kit or gaming sets, you can add twice your proficiency bonus in checks made with them.

Criminal Gambits

Also at 2nd level, you develop special gambits from your criminal endeavors. You learn two gambits at 2nd level, and gain more as you gain levels in this class. If a gambit has a level prerequisite, you must be a Master Thief of that level to learn the gambit.

Every time you learn a new gambit, you can replace one gambit you know for a new one.

Starting at 5th level, when you start your turn and have no cunning dice remaining, you regain 1 cunning die.

In addition, you gain proficiency in either Deception or Persuasion.
