'''Unofficial Summary:''' Your {{iplink|Sneak Attack}} gains the following options. Each option has a cost in reducing the Sneak Attack damage. If the effect has a {{5e24lc|Saving Throw}}, the {{5e24|DC}} = 8 + {{5e24|Dexterity}} {{5e24|Ability Modifier|modifier}} + {{5e24|Proficiency Bonus}}.
You’ve developed cunning ways to use your {{iplink|Sneak Attack}}. When you deal Sneak Attack damage, you can add one of the following {{iplink|Cunning Strike}} effects. Each effect has a die cost, which is the number of Sneak Attack damage dice you must forgo to add the effect. You remove the die before rolling, and the effect occurs immediately after the attack’s damage is dealt. For example, if you add the {{iplink|Poison}} effect, remove 1d6 from the Sneak Attack’s damage before rolling.
* '''{{anchor|Poison}} (Cost: 1d6).''' Target gains the {{5e24|Poisoned}} condition for a period of time ({{5e24|Constitution}} {{5e24lc|Save}} to negate; repeat save at end of each of target's turns). Requires you to have the {{5e24|Poisoner's Kit}}.
 
* '''{{anchor|Trip}} (Cost: 1d6).''' The {{5e24|Large}} or smaller target becomes {{5e24|Prone}} (Dexterity save to negate).
If a Cunning Strike effect requires a {{5e24lc|Saving Throw}}, the {{5e24|DC}} equals 8 plus your {{5e24|Dexterity}} {{5e24|Ability Modifier|modifier}} and {{5e24|Proficiency Bonus}}.
* '''{{anchor|Withdraw}} (Cost: 1d6).''' After the attack, you may move a limited distance without provoking {{5e24|Opportunity Attack}}s.
 
'''{{anchor|Poison}} (Cost: 1d6).''' You add a toxin to your strike, forcing the target to make a {{5e24|Constitution}} saving throw. On a failed save, the target has the {{5e24|Poisoned}} condition for 1 {{5e24lc|Minute}}. At the end of each of its turns, the Poisoned target repeats the save, ending the effect on itself on a success.
 
To use this effect, you must have a {{5e24|Poisoner's Kit}} on your person.
 
'''{{anchor|Trip}} (Cost: 1d6).''' If the target is {{5e24|Large}} or smaller, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or have the {{5e24|Prone}} condition.
 
'''{{anchor|Withdraw}} (Cost: 1d6).''' Immediately after the attack, you move up to {{5e24lc|Half}} your Speed without provoking {{5e24|Opportunity Attack}}s.

Steady Aim

3rd level [1][2][3] 
As a Bonus Action, you give yourself Advantage on your next attack roll on the current turn. You can use this feature only if you haven’t moved during this turn, and after you use it, your Speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.

Ability Score Improvement

4th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 16th level [1][2][3] 
You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Fighter levels 8, 10, 12, and 16.

Cunning Strike

5th level [1][2][3] 
You’ve developed cunning ways to use your Sneak Attack. When you deal Sneak Attack damage, you can add one of the following Cunning Strike effects. Each effect has a die cost, which is the number of Sneak Attack damage dice you must forgo to add the effect. You remove the die before rolling, and the effect occurs immediately after the attack’s damage is dealt. For example, if you add the Poison effect, remove 1d6 from the Sneak Attack’s damage before rolling.

If a Cunning Strike effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals 8 plus your Dexterity modifier and Proficiency Bonus.

Poison (Cost: 1d6). You add a toxin to your strike, forcing the target to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target has the Poisoned condition for 1 minute. At the end of each of its turns, the Poisoned target repeats the save, ending the effect on itself on a success.

To use this effect, you must have a Poisoner's Kit on your person.

Trip (Cost: 1d6). If the target is Large or smaller, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or have the Prone condition.

Withdraw (Cost: 1d6). Immediately after the attack, you move up to half your Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks.

Uncanny Dodge

5th level [1][2][3] 
When an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack roll, you can take a Reaction to halve the attack’s damage against you (round down).

Evasion

7th level [1][2][3] 
You can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain dangers. When you’re subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity 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. You can’t use this feature if you have the Incapacitated condition.

Reliable Talent

7th level [1][2][3] 
Whenever you make an ability check that uses one of your skill or tool proficiencies, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.

Improved Cunning Strike

11th level [1][2][3] 
You can use up to two Cunning Strike effects when you deal Sneak Attack damage, paying the die cost for each effect.

Devious Strikes

14th level [1][2][3] 
You’ve practiced new ways to use your Sneak Attack deviously. The following effects are now among your Cunning Strike options.

Daze (Cost: 2d6). The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or on its next turn, it can do only one of the following: move or take an Action or a Bonus Action.

Knock Out (Cost: 6d6). The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or it has the Unconscious condition for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. The Unconscious target repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Obscure (Cost: 3d6). The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, or it has the Blinded condition until the end of its next turn.

Slippery Mind

15th level [1][2][3] 
Your cunning mind is exceptionally difficult to control. You gain proficiency in Wisdom and Charisma saving throws.

Elusive

18th level [1][2][3] 
You’re so evasive that attackers rarely gain the upper hand against you. No attack roll can have Advantage against you unless you have the Incapacitated condition.

Epic Boon

19th level [1][2][3] 
You gain an Epic Boon feat or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of the Night Spirit is recommended.

Stroke of Luck

20th level [1][2][3] 
You have a marvelous knack for succeeding when you need to. If you fail a D20 Test, you can turn the roll into a 20.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
