Skilled:

Unleash unparalleled versatility. Gain proficiency in three skills or tools of your choice. Become a master of stealth, acrobatics, lockpicking, or any combination that suits your playstyle.

Athlete:

Tough:

While evasion is key, BG3 presents unavoidable damage. Tough significantly increases hit points, dramatically improving survivability, especially when combined with a Rogue's natural evasiveness.

Mobile:

Avoid the dangers of surprise attacks. The Alert feat provides a significant advantage on initiative, ensuring you act before enemies, and negates the debilitating effects of surprise.

Dungeon Delver:

Enhance your Rogue's already impressive trap-disarming and lockpicking skills. Easily navigate traps and unlock chests, streamlining exploration and improving the overall gameplay experience.

Crossbow Expert:

Unleash the power of the crossbow. Use your crossbow for sneak attacks at any range, significantly increasing damage output. A truly devastating and thematic choice for your Rogue.

Additional Powerful Feats:

Lucky:

A universally beneficial feat. Use Luck Points to gain advantage on attacks, ability checks, or saving throws, and even force enemy rerolls. Refreshes after a long rest.

Savage Attacker:

Ideal for melee builds. Roll damage dice twice and use the highest result, significantly increasing damage output, particularly effective when combined with sneak attacks.
