Roguish Archetypes

Rogues have many features in common, including their

precise and deadly approach to combat, and their
increasingly quick reflexes. But different rogues steer those
talents in varying directions, embodied by the rogue
archetypes. Your choice of archetype is a reflection of your
focus not necessarily an indication of your chosen
profession, but a description of your preferred techniques.

You learn the ways of the gunslinger; using pistols and
muskets to riddle holes in your enemies, or intimidate then
into backing down. Your mastery of these weapons is
something to be revered and feared.
Typically, those who prefer staying at a distance and
attacking from the backlines follow this archetype.

and are great for whittling down opponents from afar.

increasing your damage, or adding utility.

and 17th level. Each time you learn a new deed, you can
also replace a deed you know with a different one.
Grit. Grit is the measure of your resolve and focus,
allowing you to go beyond the norm. You start with four grit
points to spend on deeds, some of which may require more
than one grit to use. You may use grit before you make the
appropriate action, or if otherwise specified by the deed.
Your maximum grit points increases by one at 9th level,
and again at 13th and 17th level.
You regain all your expended grit points at the end of a
short rest or long rest.

throws to be made by your target.

position, or light up an area with a 30 ft radius.

an encounter, you regain three grit points.
