Cheap Shot (1/turn). The master thief deals an extra 14 (4d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack if it doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack and the target is flat-footed, if it has advantage on the attack, or when the target is within 1 meter of an enemy of the target that isn’t incapacitated.
Cunning Action. On each of its turns, the master thief can use an additional action. This action can only be used to make a Sleight of hand or Stealth check or use the Dash, Disengage, or Use an Object action.
Evasion. If the master thief is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Reflex saving throw to take only half damage, the master thief instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.
Maneuvers. The master thief uses maneuvers (maneuver save Difficulty 15). It has 9 stamina dice which are d8s, a dice limit of 2, regains all expended stamina dice when it finishes a long rest, and regains half its total stamina dice when it finishes a short rest. It knows the following maneuvers:
1 stamina die: ambush, blind, blinding debris, disorient, distract, fan of knives, feint, nimble, positioning strike, slashing blades, spring attack, vault
2 stamina dice: feigned opening, gag, misdirection, uncanny dodge
