Subclasses

Assassin

The Assassin focuses one swiftly and discretely taking down single targets before they even know what happened.

Feature #	Trait	Description
1	Ambush	If your target is not currently in active combat and not aware of your presence, your first attack against it will always be critical with Opportunity Damage, assuming you hit.
2	Gushing Wounds	If your target can bleed, each of your attacks will add two stacks of bleeding to it.
3	Salted Wounds	The bleeding Damage cap of enemies hit by you is increased to 12.
4	Muffled Knife	Your first hit on an ambushed target silences it for 3 turns, unless it succeeds a Willpower 20 check.

Thief

The Thief specializes on Infiltration and theft. Usually leaving no traces behind.

Feature #	Trait	Description
1	Make-do-Magic	The Thief becomes capable of using the Illusion school of magic. He can cast one grade 1, 2 and 3 spell each once per day. He can freely cast Prestidigitation like normal. He can use any one handed weapon as a focus.
2	Thief's Insight	You become skilled in Perception and Investigation checks. If you are already skilled in one of them from other sources (applicable also after learning this ability), gain mastery in that skill instead.
3	Advanced Magic	Allows you to also gain the ability to cast one grade 4 and one grade 5 spell once per day. Additionally, "Disguise" is now considered a grade 0 spell and can be cast freely.
4	Grand Acting	Allows you to also gain the ability to cast one grade 8 spell per day.

Gambler

The Gambler is all about getting lucky, continously trying over and over again and trying to shift the odds in his favour.

Feature #	Trait	Description
1	Pokerface	You become skilled in Persuasion and Deception checks. If you are already skilled in one of them from other sources (applicable also after learning this ability), gain mastery in that skill instead.

4	Oddly Wits	This allows you to spend one Wits during combat to reroll a hit check or damage roll. It is instant, does not require any additional Actions, and can be done multiple times per turn. You can always choose the better result.

Manipulator

The Manipulator focuses on controlling the people around him to obey him without even noticing.

Feature #	Trait	Description
1	The Wildcard	You become capable of faking your personality at a whim. Whenever you interact with a character in person for the first time, you can declare which Soulcards set you want to pretend to be aligned to whenever you interact with that character. This decision will be permanent for that character. If that character witnesses you acting with a different set of cards (for example when two differently manipulated characters are talking together with you) you need to pass a Deception skillcheck challenged by an Insight check from the suspicious character. If you fail the Deception check, the character will know that you faked your personality, how they react to it depends on the character (can range from laughing it off to becoming hostile)
2	Pokersoul	Even when magically charmed or forced to tell a secret, you will be able to lie.
3	Identifying Weaknesses	During combat, you can use your Preparation to examine the enemies weaknesses. For every Preparation you spent like this your critical hits require one less on the hit check. This effect resets when combat ends.
4	Critical Miss	When attacked by an enemy directly while next to another enemy, you can use your Preparation and 2 Wits to redirect the attack to that enemy instead.
