Ruffian

While other rogues are sneaky and charismatic, you take a much more intimidating and direct approach. Bandits, highwaymen, enforcers and muggers are the ones who typically embrace this archetype. You’re adept at smashing doors and cracking skulls, but not only are you skilled at dishing out pain; you’re used to your fair share of punishment as well. You scoff at the butter knives and shivs used by other rogues and instead prefer heavier weapons better equipped to breaking bones and destroying property.

Skulduggery

At 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the maul, warhammer, flail and medium armor. In addition wearing medium armor doesn't impose disadvantage on your Dexterity (Stealth) checks.

Ruthless Ruffian
