Rogue (FiD)

Starfox's Blades in the Dark fan page

The Rogue thrives in the shadows, adept at stealth, subterfuge, and precision strikes. Masters of infiltration and evasion, they excel in navigating dangerous environments unnoticed and executing surprise attacks. Whether slipping past guards or disarming traps, the Rogue combines cunning and agility to outmaneuver and outwit their foes.

An adaptation of the Lurk.

Special Abilities

1. Ambush: When you attack from hiding or spring a trap, you get +1d and increased effect.
2. Daredevil: When you roll a desperate action, you get +1d to your roll.
3. Evasion: When you push yourself using Prowl, choose one of the following additional benefits: get to a seemingly impossible place—perform a feat of athletics that verges on the superhuman—maneuver to confuse your enemies so they mistakenly attack each other—entirely dodge an area attack.
4. Expertise: When you lead a group action using Prowl, you can suffer only 1 stress at most regardless of the number of failed rolls.
5. Infiltrator: You are not affected by quality or Tier when you bypass security measures.
6. Reflexes: When there's a question about who acts first, the answer is you (two characters with Reflexes act simultaneously).
7. Shadow: You may expend your special armor to resist a consequence from detection or security measures, or to push yourself for a feat of athletics, stealth or intrusion.
8. Shadowdancer: You may shift partially into the ether, becoming shadowy and insubstantial for a few moments. Take 2 stress when you shift, plus 1 stress for each extra feature: it lasts for a few minutes rather than moments—you are invisible rather than shadowy—you may float through the air like a ghost.
