Rogue Archetype: Malvole

Through cruel twists of fate, you have lost everything, and a greater power has seen fit to grant you means beyond mortal ability — what you do with it is up to you. The greater power may be a trickster deity, an Archfey, or the inscrutable machinations of a Great Old One.

Malvole Rogue Features

Spellcasting

When you choose this archetype at level three, you gain access to magical power; a boon granted by your benefactor.

Silent, Still, Empty Handed

In casting a spell you may choose to forego one of Verbal, Somatic, or Material components which are not consumed.

What was that Noise?

When you use your spellcasting to cause a distraction, you gain advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. This includes using the Misty Vision invocation, casting Minor Image or casting Dancing Lights, making a door slam with Thaumaturgy, or setting a fire with Produce flame.

Cunning Caster

You may cast Cantrips or use Eldrich Invocations as part of your Cunning Action feature.

Cantrips

At third level, you learn one of Produce Flame, Thaumaturgy, or True Strike. You learn additional Malvole Cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Malvole Spellcasting table. Every time you gain another Cantrip, you may also swap one Cantrip you know for one from the Malvole spell list.

Spells Known of 1st Level or Higher

At third level, you know three 1st level spells from the Malvole spell list. Consult the Malvole Spellcasting table for information on when, how many, and what the maximum allowed level is

Each time you level up you may swap a spell you know for another spell you can cast on the Malvole spell list.

Spell Slots

All your spell slots are of the same level, as indicated by the Spell Slot Level column of the Malvole Spellcasting table. You regain all spent spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.
