Master Thief

No mere rogue, the Master Thief has earned the respect of his fellow thieves and other members of the underworld. He is a ranking member of his gang, or “guild”, and has truly exceptional skill. Of course normally rogues seek to become a Master Thief, few others will have the ability or inclination.
The would-be Master Thief must be a member of a major thieves guild in one of the great cities of the Western Empire. They must confirm their skills through a series of tests, but also demonstrate their skills as a thief: they must normally pull off at least one, and maybe more then one, significant heist for the guild. Once confirmed as a Master, the thief may be able to leave town and adventure on his own, but he is expected to maintain at least occasional contact with his guild.

Made: The Master Thief is respected among rogues and underworld figures, and is good at communicating with those who haven’t heard of him. For all charisma-based checks (such as diplomacy, bluff, etc.) involving other rogues, and, at DM’s discretion, other underworld characters, the Master Thief receives a +1 bonus. At 5th level this increases to +2

Skill Mastery: The Master Thief becomes so certain in the use of a skill that she can use it reliably even under adverse conditions. At 1st level, and each time another level is gained, the Master Thief picks a skill. When making a skill check with this skill, she may take 10 even if stress and distractions would normally prevent her from doing so.

Trap Sense (Ex): A Master Thief has an intuitive sense that alerts her to danger from traps, giving her a +1 bonus on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by traps. These bonus increases to +2 at 3rd level, +3 at 5th level and +4 at 7th level. Trap sense bonuses gained from multiple classes stack.

New Skill: At 2nd and 4th levels the Master Thief gains four free ranks in a class skill in which they have none.

Skill Focus: At 3rd and 5th levels the Master Thief gains Skill Focus with any class skill in which they do not currently have Skill Focus.

Sneak Attack: At 3rd level, if the master thief attack has the Sneak Attack class ability, the damage done on a successful sneak attack is increased by one d6.

Hide in Plain Site: While in any sort of village, town, city or inside a building or other structure, a Master Thief of 5th level or higher can use the Hide skill even while being observed.
