Smarter, stealthier,
tricksier . . .
A silent footstep. The turn
of a card. The glitter of a knife in the dark, and the quiet kill. These are
the tools of adventurers who live by their wits, deep in the shadows. But even
the most skilled rogues adore and worship Lady Luck, who often holds the difference
between success and failure.
The Book of Roguish Luck
offers the new Luck rules subsystem for all classes, plus the bandit, gutter
mage, and shadow thief core classes and three prestige classes. In addition,
it presents expanded guild and sneak attack rules, the shadow magic school of rogue spells,
more than 30 new feats, new equipment and magic items, and almost 80 spells.
This book expands thieves’
guilds to include complete stats, resources, and initiation rituals. The Book of Roguish Luck also shows you how to fence goods, gamble to win, pick locks, bribe officials, and -- simply put -- raise hell.
The Book of Roguish Luck
also features guidelines for using this material with Monte
Cook’s Arcana Evolved.
Gamble, cheat, and play
with panache!
