Class feats

Feat	Tier	Activation	Effect
Quicksilver	Initiate		Close calls and narrow escapes have toughened you. You can take hits that would drop others and keep moving.
Ghost Step	Initiate		Your survival instincts extend beyond the physical. Shadow, toxin, and cold affect you less than they do most people.
Survivor's Wit	Initiate		Your body has built up a strong tolerance to toxins. Tainted food, venomous bites, and poisoned blades affect you far less than they should.
Sneak Attack	Base	Striking from stealth with a finesse or ranged weapon.	Striking unseen finds the gaps armor never covers, dealing extra damage on attacks made from stealth with a finesse or ranged weapon, growing with each level gained.
Future Sight	Base	Once per long rest, a blow that would drop HEALTH below 0 is dodged entirely.	When a blow would drop HEALTH below 0 and Future Sight is ready, it is dodged entirely. The premonition returns after a completed long rest.

Subclass: Thief

The cunning infiltrator.

Feat	Tier	Activation	Effect
Cat's Grace	Novice		Permanently enhances Dexterity by 2.
Sticky Fingers	Novice	On a successful Thieving check.	On a successful Thieving lift, apply Quick Hands for 60 seconds, granting +2 to Thieving and +2 to Deception to deflect suspicion if the target notices the motion. Only one Quick Hands buff can be active at a time.
Nimble Escape	Novice	Attempting to disengage or flee from combat.	On a successful Acrobatics disengage, apply Slippery for 18 seconds, granting +2 EVASION while slipping free of reaching hands.
Disarm	Adept	Landing a strike from stealth.	A stealth strike always strips the weapon, applying Disarmed for 24 seconds. The target's weapon attacks are gone until it is recovered.
Third Wheel	Adept	Attacking an enemy that an ally is already fighting.	When an ally already holds an enemy's attention, press a favorable opening (advantage) against any enemy that ally is actively engaging.
Pocket Sand	Adept	Throwing debris, dust, or small objects at an enemy's face.	Spend on a successful Thieving check against a target to force a Dexterity save (DC 12) or leave them Blinded for 12 seconds. They watch poorly (-2 Perception) and swing wide, so their targets dodge at advantage.
Vanisher	Base	Killing an enemy while striking from stealth.	A kill from the shadows lets you slip back into hiding. With a hostile close you re-hide at a disadvantage, at a middle distance you re-hide on a clean roll, and with the way clear you re-hide at advantage. Without this feat a close kill leaves you exposed.
No Witnesses	Base		Every Vanisher re-hide improves one step. A close kill now re-hides on a clean roll, a middle-distance kill re-hides at advantage, and a clear kill vanishes you with no roll at all.

Subclass: Assassin

The silent killer.

Feat	Tier	Activation	Effect
Pinpoint	Novice		Permanently enhances Dexterity by 2.
Anatomical Knowledge	Novice	Against humanoid targets that are SEVERELY WOUNDED (below 50% HEALTH).	Your attacks have a 50% chance to apply Bleeding DAMAGE OVER TIME effect with BLEED subcategory, dealing -1d4 HEALTH every 6 seconds for 24 seconds.
Silent Killer	Novice	Striking an enemy while hidden from it.	A stealth strike that finds the killing point. When you hit a foe from hiding and the blow leaves a NORMAL enemy below 15% of its maximum HEALTH or an ELITE enemy below 10%, that enemy dies outright. Bosses and greater foes are too resilient to fall to a single quiet cut.
Terrorizer	Adept	Reducing an enemy to 0 HEALTH in view of other enemies.	A kill in view of other enemies shakes the weak. Every NORMAL hostile who can see it makes a Wisdom save (DC 12) or is Unnerved for 18 seconds, hands shaking (-2 Dexterity). Elite and boss enemies are too hardened to flinch.
Exsanguinate	Adept	Striking a bleeding enemy.	When you strike a foe that is already bleeding, every open wound tears wide at once. All Bleeding effects on the target are consumed and half of their remaining damage lands immediately as part of the strike. The wounds must be reopened before it can fire again.
Hemorrhaging	Adept	Landing a melee critical hit.	Your melee critical hits rupture something inside, a guaranteed Internal Bleeding that drains HEALTH every 6 seconds for 24 seconds and deepens with your skill.
Deadly Strike	Base	Striking from stealth with a finesse or ranged weapon.	The opening strike is engineered to end the fight. Your Sneak Attack die grows from a d4 to a d6 on attacks made from stealth with a finesse or ranged weapon.
Death's Precision	Base	Striking from stealth with a finesse or ranged weapon.	Striking from concealment, you read the killing angle before the blade lands, scoring far more critical hits on attacks made from stealth with a finesse or ranged weapon.
