{{5e Ability Section|3|Expertise|At 1st level, choose '''two''' of your {{srd5lc|Skill}} {{srd5lc|Proficiency|proficiencies}}, or one of your skill proficiencies and your proficiency with {{SRD5|Thieves' Tools}}. Your {{srd5lc|Proficiency Bonus}} is '''doubled''' for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.

At 6th level, you can choose two more of your proficiencies (in skills or with thieves' tools) to gain this benefit.}}
{{5e Ability Section|3|Sneak Attack|Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe’s distraction. Once per {{srd5lc|Turn}}, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have {{srd5lc|Advantage}} on the {{srd5lc|Attack Roll}}. The attack must use a {{srd5lc|Finesse}} or a {{srd5lc|Ranged Weapon}}. 

You don’t need ''advantage'' on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t {{srd5lc|Incapacitated}}, and you don’t have {{srd5lc|Disadvantage}} on the attack roll. 

The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this {{srd5lc|Class}}, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue Overview table.}}
{{5e Ability Section|3|Thieves' Cant|During your rogue training you learned '''thieves’ cant''', a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly. 

In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.}}
{{5e Ability Section|3|Cunning Action|Starting at 2nd level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly, so you can take a bonus action on each of your turns. This action can be used only to take the {{srd5lc|Dash}}, {{srd5lc|Disengage}}, or {{srd5lc|Hide}}.}}
{{5e Ability Section|3|Roguish Archetype|At 3rd level, you choose an {{srd5lc|Roguish Archetype}} that you emulate in the exercise of your rogue abilities. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and then again at 9th, 13th, and 17th level.}}

{{5e Ability Section|3|Ability Score Improvement|''See the ''' {{SRD5|Ability Score Improvement}}''' article.''}}
{{5e Ability Section|3|Uncanny Dodge|When an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your {{srd5lc|Reaction}} to halve the attack’s damage against you.}}
{{5e Ability Section|3|Evasion|Beginning at 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a Red Dragon’s fiery breath or an ''{{srd5lc|Ice Storm}}'' {{srd5lc|Spell}}. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity {{srd5lc|Saving Throw}} to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you '''''succeed''''' on the saving throw, and only half damage if you '''''fail'''''.}}
{{5e Ability Section|3|Reliable Talent|By 11th level, you have refined your chosen skills until they approach perfection. Whenever you make an {{srd5lc|Ability Check}} that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.}}
{{5e Ability Section|3|Blindsense|Starting at 14th level, while you are able to hear, you are aware of the location of any a {{srd5lc|Hidden}} or {{srd5lc|Invisible}} creature within 10 feet of you.}}
{{5e Ability Section|3|Slippery Mind|By 15th level, you have acquired greater mental strength. You gain proficiency in {{srd5lc|Wisdom}} {{srd5lc|Saving Throw}}s.}}
{{5e Ability Section|3|Elusive|Beginning at 18th level, you are so evasive that attackers rarely gain the upper hand against you. No attack roll has advantage against you while you aren’t {{srd5lc|Incapacitated}}.}}
{{5e Ability Section|3|Stroke of Luck|At 20th level, you have an uncanny knack for succeeding when you need to. If your {{srd5lc|Attack}} misses a target within {{srd5lc|Range}}, you can turn the miss into a hit. Alternatively, if you '''''fail''''' an ability check, you can treat the d20 roll as a 20.}}
