You are naturally fleet of foot and gain the following benefits:

• +1 to Jump checks per level
• +1 to movement speed at 1st level and for every rank of Rogue achieved
• Ignore 10 ft of falling damage per level.

You may apply your Dodge chance against area effects, to a maximum of 10% per Rogue level.

You gain the following benefits:

• +5% avoidance per rogue level (max +50%) against traps
• +1/level to Search checks to find traps and Disable Device checks to disable traps
• The ability to find magical traps without detecting magic

You may apply your Dodge chance against attackers of whom you are not aware or cannot even perceive, to a maximum of 5% per Rogue level.

You gain a bonus of +1 per 2 rogue levels to initiative checks. Rogues of level 3 or higher may take 10 on initiative checks.

The following is true for rogues of level 5 or higher:

• When you begin a combat where you are not surprised, you may automatically enter Stealth at the beginning of the first round; you may move up to half your movement speed instantly to reach a valid location for Stealth.

When you have Combat Advantage on a foe, your attacks (weapon and spell) gain bonus damage equal to your normal critical bonus damage. Like critical bonus damage, this damage is subject to avoidance through Fortification. This bonus damage does not preclude you from achieving a Critical Hit.

Example:

• Your dagger normally does 50 damage, and 75 bonus damage on a critical hit (total on crit: 125 damage)
• With a Sneak Attack, your dagger will inflict 125 damage (50 base + 75 sneak attack) on a normal hit, and 200 damage (50 base + 75 sneak attack + 75 critical) on a critical hit.

The following is true for rogues of level 10 or higher:

At the beginning of each combat wherein you are not surprised, you may remove yourself from the battle mat. Upon your first turn, you may insert yourself at any location within Short range, as long as it would have been possible for you to reach that destination through all means of locomotion available to you, and it is not currently occupied by anyone else.

• You must place yourself on the board within the first round of combat, even if you take no other actions afterward.
• Until you place yourself, you may not take actions. You are effectively delaying initiative.
• Until you place yourself, you are immune to all effects and cannot be targeted. Your position cannot be determined.
• If you place yourself in a position with concealment, you may automatically enter Stealth.
• After you appear, you gain Combat Advantage for your first turn. Thereafter, unless you achieve Stealth, all enemies are considered aware of you.

Most duelist maneuvers inflict damage with only a single weapon. The ideal style is to use a medium one-handed weapon. An offhand dagger or mein gauche can be useful for extra parrying.

• Lunge: At-will, standard, melee attack; you move up to half your speed toward an enemy, then attack, inflicting normal +50% damage. Must move at least 3 squares.
