Master Of Intrigue

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the disgui se kit, the fo rgery kit, and one gaming set of your choice. You also learn two la nguages of your choice. Additiona lly, you can unerringly mimic the speech patterns a nd accent of a creature that you hear speak for at least 1 minute, allowing you to pass yourself off as a native speaker of a particular land , provided that you know the la nguage.

Master Of Tactics

S ta rting at 3rd level, you can use the Help action as a bonus action. Additionally, when you use the Help action to aid an a lly in attacking a creature, the ta rget of that attack can be within 30 feet of you, rather than 5 feet of you, if the target can see or hear you.

Insightful Manipulator

S ta rting at 9th level, if you spend at least 1 minute observin g or interacting with a nother creature outside combat, you can learn certain information about its capabilities compared to your own. The DM tells you if the creature is your equa l, s uperior, or inferior in regard to two of the following characteris tics of your choice:

Misdirection

Beginning at 13th level, you can sometimes cause a nother creature to suffer an attack meant for you.

Additionally, no matter what you say, magic that would determine if you are telling the truth indicates you are being truthful , if you so choose, a nd you can't be compelled to tell the truth by magic.
