Rouge
These Unbound walk a narrow path, their strength manifesting in reflex, grace, and acute awareness. Their bond with Aṣé enhances fine motor skills and kinesthetic perception beyond natural limits, allowing them to strike faster, move unseen, react before thought finishes forming. Whether slicing through a battlefield unseen, slipping through locked wards, or watching from above with a patient eye, a Rogue wields motion like others wield magic. Their style of power is immediate, internalized, and lethal in its precision.
While others court thunder, fire, or gods, the Rogue courts only the perfect moment.

Features
(1st Level)
Expertise
You gain Expertise in two of your skill proficiencies of your choice. Sleight of Hand and Stealth are recommended if you have proficiency in them.
At Rogue level 6, you gain Expertise in two more of your skill proficiencies of your choice.
Sneak Attack
You know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe’s distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack roll if you have Advantage on the roll and the attack uses a Finesse or a Ranged weapon. The extra damage’s type is the same as the weapon’s type.
You don’t need Advantage on the attack roll if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of the target, the ally doesn’t have the Incapacitated condition, and you don’t have Disadvantage on the attack roll.
The extra damage increases as you gain Rogue levels, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue Features table.
Thieves’ Cant
You picked up various languages in the communities where you plied your roguish talents. You know Thieves’ Cant and one other language of your choice, which you choose from the language tables in "Character Creation".

Evasion
You can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain dangers.

You can’t use this feature if you have the Incapacitated condition.
