Master Thief[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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.

Unstoppable Cunning[edit]

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

Uncanny Fugitive[edit]

Also at 5th level, you can't be targeted by any divination magic or perceived through magical scrying sensors.

In addition, any Intelligence checks made to gather information about you, or Wisdom (Survival) checks to track you are made at disadvantage.

Sweet Talker[edit]

Starting at 7th level, you can add your Intelligence modifier as a bonus to any Charisma check you make.

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

Assassination[edit]

At 7th level, whenever you expend cunning dice to add to a damage roll of your attack, you can expend up to two dice instead of just one, adding both to the roll. Both dice are expended as normal.

If you had advantage on the attack, you deal maximum damage with both dice, instead of rolling them. If you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a backstab, you regain 2 cunning die.

Supreme Sneak[edit]

Starting at 9th level, you have advantage on a Dexterity (Stealth) check if you move no more than half your speed on the same turn.

Thief's Reflexes[edit]

When you reach 11th level, you have become adept at laying ambushes and quickly escaping danger. You can take two turns during the first round of any combat. You take your first turn at your normal initiative and your second turn at your initiative minus 10. You can't use this feature when you are surprised and you may only use this feature once per long rest.

Use Magic Device[edit]

By 13th level, you have learned enough about the workings of magic that you can improvise the use of items even when they are not intended for you. You ignore all class, race, and level requirements on the use of magic items.

Criminal Mastermind[edit]

Starting at 15th level, whenever you use a cunning trick, you can choose one allied creature within 60 feet able to see you to also benefit from it.

Unerring Luck[edit]

At 17th level, once in each of your turns when you miss an attack roll, ability check or saving throw using Dexterity, you can reroll it.

In addition, if you haven't used this ability on your turn, you can use it as a reaction to reroll a failed Dexterity saving throw.

Legendary Outlaw[edit]

When you reach the 20th level, your Dexterity and Intelligence scores increase by 4, up to a maximum of 24.

Cunning Tricks[edit]

Backstab

When you damage a creature with a weapon attack that has the light or finesse property or with a ranged weapon, you can expend one cunning die to add it to the damage roll. You can use this ability after rolling damage. The additional damage dice from this feature do not gain the benefits of critical hits.

If you roll the minimum on the cunning die when rolling to add to the damage or reduce the target to 0 hit points, you regain 1 cunning die.

Burglary

When you make a check that allows you to apply your proficiency in Athletics, Acrobatics, Stealth, Sleight of Hand or with the Thieve's Tools, you can expend a Cunning Dice and add it to the roll. You apply this bonus after making the check, but before learning if it was successful.
