to that foe, who immediately and involuntarily

gives a brief answer. The answer is always
true, at least as far as the foe knows, although
strong-willed individuals can give vague or
misleading answers.

Quick to Fight (Human)
At the start of each battle, roll initiative twice and
choose the result you want.

You have resist cold damage 14+ against enemies
or environments of your tier or lower (levels 1-
4). Additionally, you do not suffer from natural
weather-related cold.

Class features
Momentum
Some of the rogue’s powers function only when the ro-
gue has momentum. You gain momentum by hitting
an enemy with an attack. You lose momentum when
you are hit by an attack. The default is that you
can use momentum powers without losing momen-
tum, but a few powers specify that you must spend
your momentum to use them. You don’t have to use
attacks that require momentum against the same foe
you hit to gain that momentum. Some momentum
powers are classified as interrupt actions. You can
only use one interrupt action a round.
Multiclass: Normally, spell attacks do not gain you
momentum.

Sneak Attack
Once per round when you make a rogue melee weapon
attack against an enemy engaged with one or more of
your allies, you can deal +1d6 damage if your attack
hits.
Multiclass: Normally, you can not sneak attack on
spells.
Adventurer Feat (1/4): Your Sneak Attack feature
also works the first round of combat against enemies
with a lower initiative than you.

Trap Sense
Even rogues whose backgrounds don’t have anything
to do with noticing, avoiding, or disarming traps ha-
ve a unique knack for dealing with traps. If a rogue’s
skill check involving a trap is a natural even failure,
the rogue can reroll the skill check once. If a trap’s
attack roll against a rogue is a natural odd roll, the
rogue can force the trap to reroll the attack once.
Cantrips
You can cast a handful of cantrips each day. You do
not have to memorize or choose them beforehand, you
just cast them on the fly. You can cast up to 4 can-
trips per battle. If you are out of battle, that is about
three to six cantrips every five minutes. Each cantrip
takes a standard action to cast as a ranged spell. At
the adventurer tier (levels 1-4), cantrips with a stan-
dard duration last 10-60 minutes, plus ten minutes
per wizard level. The GM rolls and the wizard beco-
mes aware that their cantrip is about to end a couple
minutes before it is done.
Alarm (standard duration): The cantrip creates a
minor watch-sprite that can be instructed to scream if
someone comes through an area or touches an object.
Watch-sprites are notoriously stupid and sleepy, but
with the right talking-to they might stay focused for
the duration of the spell. At higher levels, the spell
might summon little fanged spirits buzzing back and
forth serving as both visual and actual deterrents.
Ghost Sound: This spell creates false noises ema-
nating from somewhere nearby. The effect is like an
exceptionally good version of throwing your voice,
if your voice could create a wide variety of sounds.
Attempted distractions with the cantrip are DC 15
challenges in adventurer environments, or the GM
could let them succeed automatically if they are truly
imaginative.
Knock: This cantrip summons a magical servitor
three to four times as big as your closed fist that
swarms around a locked door (or a sealed treasure
chest) and punches or pushes it open (depending on
whether you want to be quiet or announce your pre-
sence), assuming you can succeed with an Intelligence
check against the environment’s DC using an appro-
priate magical background. Note that your knock
servitor does not do anything to avoid traps. If you
3
want to open something and avoid traps, hire a rogue.
Light (standard duration): This cantrip creates a
fairly wide and consistent field of light, up to 30 feet
in diameter. It could just be a glow from your staff, or
small light elementals flitting in quick circles around
you. The created light is not bright enough to dazzle
anyone or to send underworld dwellers into seizures.
Mage Hand: This cantrip creates a small telekine-
tic effect that lasts a round at most. It is also some-
times referred to as a ‘mage-slap’ when higher-level
wizards deliver rebuffs to their underlings. At best it
is about half as strong as the wizard’s own strongest
hand. At worst it is half as strong as the wizard when
they are weak from a bad fever.
Mending: This cantrip summons a variety of tiny
(hand-sized and smaller) magical sprites who swarm
over a chosen broken object attempting to mend it
(over the course of 1-6 rounds). Small-scale repairs
like torn wineskins, muddy clothing, a broken hand-
grip on a sword, and similar repairs that anyone could
fix with two to four hours of devoted work gets hand-
led in seconds. More elaborate repairs to complicated
objects might require an Intelligence check.
Prestidigitation: This cantrip produces magic
tricks like cheaty-juggling, pulling coins out of ears,
small illusions created by dancing sprites, and the ba-
sic equipment of stage-casting. One casting usually
gives you a minute of fun. But the magic has nowhere
near as much real world force as mage hand.
Spark: This is a minor fire creation spell, enough to
light a pipe, or a campfire, or even a page or two of
an unprotected spellbook. It does not work against
living beings or against things that could not easily
be set on fire with a few seconds of steady application
of a candle. It is a show-off spell: wizards do not have
to light fires like ordinary people. The target of the
spark has to be nearby and in sight.
Cyclic Spells
Spells that have a cyclic usage can always be cast at
least once per battle, and are only expended in that
battle if they are cast when the escalation die is 0 or
odd. In other words, if you cast a cyclic spell like
color spray or rebuke when the escalation die is even,
the spell is not expended and can still be cast later
in the battle.

Utility Spell
When you choose spells during a full heal-up, instead
of taking a standard spell, you can choose to invest
a spell slot to memorize the utility spell at the same
level. When you take the utility spell, you gain access
to a range of useful non-combat spells. You do not
have to decide ahead of time which utility spell you
will cast. You can also memorize the utility spell
multiple times by giving up a spell slot for each use.
