Thief — Sagor från Valoris

The Thief is the rogue at their most classic and versatile — the cat burglar, the second-story artist, the light-fingered survivor who can go anywhere and take anything. Where the Assassin trades in death and the Arcane Trickster in magic, the Thief trades in pure, honed larceny: hands quick enough to pick a pocket mid-conversation, agility enough to scale a sheer wall, and a working knowledge of every device and trinket that stands between them and the prize.

It is the most self-reliant and adventure-ready of the archetypes. A Thief turns a dungeon's locks and traps into mere inconveniences, wrings power out of magic items others can't even use, and in a pinch simply acts twice while everyone else is still reacting. They are proof that you don't need a spell or a poison to be the most dangerous person in the room — just faster hands and a better plan.

3rd Level

Fast Hands

Your hands work faster than a fight allows time for. As a Bonus Action, you can make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to pick a lock, disarm a trap, or pick a pocket with Thieves' Tools — or Use an Object, including triggering a magic item that would normally take an action. All the fiddly work of a heist, folded into a heartbeat.

3rd Level

Second-Story Work

No wall keeps you out for long. You gain a Climb Speed equal to your Speed, scaling sheer surfaces as easily as walking, and you can measure the distance of your jumps using Dexterity instead of Strength — clearing gaps and gaining rooftops that leave pursuers stranded below.

9th Level

Supreme Sneak

You gain the Stealth Attack Cunning Strike option. When you strike from hiding while Invisible, spending a die from your Sneak Attack, the attack doesn't break your invisibility — provided you end the turn behind Three-Quarters or Total Cover. You can strike and vanish in the same motion, staying unseen through the whole exchange.

13th Level

Use Magic Device

You wring every drop of power from magic items. You can attune to up to four at once; whenever you spend a charge, a roll of 6 on a d6 means it costs no charge at all; and you can use any Spell Scroll, casting from it with Intelligence — reliably for lower-level spells, and with an Arcana check for higher ones. Wands, rods, and scrolls meant for wizards all bend to your untrained hands.

17th Level

Thief's Reflexes

You are simply quicker off the mark than anyone. During the first round of any combat, you take two turns — one at your normal Initiative and a second at your Initiative minus 10 — provided you aren't Surprised. Two full turns of a rogue's tricks before most foes have moved even once is, very often, the whole fight.
