Roguery Point Buy is part of the Proficiency System. Its Packs allow a Character to get better at Rogue or Criminal activities. While in theory it is all Mundane Techniques, players can add Magical aesthetics if they like.

Disguise Pack

The Disguise Pack allows the user to don a mundane disguise that prevents them from being identified in a roleplay scene. The user is able to change any aspect of their appearance such as height or build, but the disguise must always be represented as an evident costume that covers the wearer's body entirely. This disguise is able to conceal things such as Afflictions and Affinities, but if the user is defeated in Combat then the disguise is able to be removed to reveal their identity. Keep in mind that using a Disguise should not be used in anti-RP ways to avoid consequences perpetually. While it can help with Crime RP or keep one step ahead of one's enemies, making a character completely untouchable may result in Staff intervention. Also keep in mind that wearing an obvious disguise may cause characters and NPCs to react differently than if they were in the scene unmasked, and certain places, like the Imperial Palace, will bar Masked/Disguised characters entirely.

+====Disguise Pack====
+The Disguise Pack allows the user to don a mundane disguise that prevents them from being identified in a roleplay scene. The user is able to change any aspect of their appearance such as height or build, but the disguise must always be represented as an evident costume that covers the wearer's body entirely. This disguise is able to conceal things such as Afflictions and Affinities, but if the user is defeated in Combat then the disguise is able to be removed to reveal their identity. Keep in mind that using a Disguise should not be used in anti-RP ways to avoid consequences perpetually. While it can help with Crime RP or keep one step ahead of one's enemies, making a character completely untouchable may result in Staff intervention. Also keep in mind that wearing an obvious disguise may cause characters and NPCs to react differently than if they were in the scene unmasked, and certain places, like the Imperial Palace, will bar Masked/Disguised characters entirely.
-====Burglary Skill Pack====
+====Fleet Footed Pack====
-The Burglary Skill Pack allows the user to participate in the Black Market System and break into Regalian Rental regions, Regalian Shops, and raid Noble Estates and Clandestine Bases that have opted into the system. The Black Market system has two major ‘prongs’. Burglary, and Investigation. Burglary is the act of breaking into a hope and stealing items to exchange for Scrip, and investigation is the act of playing detective and discovering who broke into a region. If you think either of these are things you want your character to do, you should read the Black Market System Manual for the full rules, located on the forums [https://forums.massivecraft.com/threads/black-market-system-manual.99203/ HERE.]
+This pack is for those that wish to move quicker than most in combat.

-====Pickpocket Skill Pack====
+====Soft Landing Pack====
-The Pickpocket Skill Pack allows the user to pickpocket other Characters with guaranteed success and without being noticed. (though, should be used within reason, if a user spams Pickpocket, report it). It is not possible to Pickpocket Artifacts or exceedingly large items like weapons, but anything hand-held is fair game. If the user wasn’t looking for a specific item owned by the Target, then the Target must provide alternate items equivalent to or greater value than 20 Regals (or just 20 Regals).
+This pack is for the acrobatic roof-runners of Regalia, quickly dropping from above or prone to clumsy footing.

If the user lands next to an Enemy, they can immediately make a Melee Attack. As a reaction to the user being forced to fall off a ledge, reduce Falling Damage by -1HP. If either function is used, 1 Hour Cooldown.}}

-====Disguise Skill Pack====
+====Sharp Reflexes Pack====
-The Disguise Skill Pack allows the user to disguise themselves. It can obscure their sex, race, appearance, face, voice and anything that would lead to identification. It is impossible to identify a person who is actively using a Disguise from the Disguise Skill Pack. However, if the user is Knocked Out or Restrained, a disguise can be removed and their identity revealed. Note that all these changes do not actually occur on the body and are purely cosmetic. There are no real limits on how they can disguise themselves, but it should generally involve some form of face mask, and can be multiple variations of different disguise. If the user carries an Artifact, this Artifact can also be disguised as a normal weapon, but this disguise ends if they use any of its abilities or powers. This cannot be applied to Abilities or Mechanics like Engineering Golems.
+This pack is for the quick witted and flexible, dodging out of the way of an attack at just the right moment.

The user adds +2 to their final roll, but must declare this before rolling. If the user is hit regardless, they're able to move up to 5 blocks in any direction. Sharp Reflexes can only be used if the user has a Dexterity Stat of at least 6. Sharp Reflexes has a 1 hour cooldown.}}

-====Stealth Skill Pack====
+====Close Save Pack====
-The Stealth Skill Pack allows the user to sneak and stealth their way around the city and Progressions without being easily noticed. While sneaking, the user produces no sounds even if they walk on creaky floors or use hand-held items. Any items they can feasibly hold in their hands also do not produce any sounds. This Pack has no effect if the user is actively being seen, or wearing armor including and above half-plate. In Progressions, this Pack allows the user to sneak into places without raising the alarm, though some places may have tighter security than anticipated and force the user to flee, though they will never be captured. When submitting a Progression Order where this Pack becomes relevant, please be sure to mention it in the description of the Order.
+The pack is for the hawk eyed citizens of the city, able to see every detail and react to even the fastest possible threat.

-====Sleight of Hand Pack====
+====Escape Artist Pack====
-The Sleight of Hand Pack allows the user to deploy Sleight of Hand during card games, games of chance, and other non-pickpocketing activities such as parlor magic tricks and the like. Sleight of Hand allows the user to convincingly produce magical aesthetics without actually being a Mage. Its primary use however, is to cheat during games. Sleight of Hand allows the user to retrieve that perfect card, or trick their game opponents into watching the wrong cup when switching them. Sleight of Hand always guarantees that they succeed in cheating/scamming/fooling others, and they are also guaranteed to get away with it. There is however one exception: Anyone who also has the Sleight of Hand Pack can detect if someone uses Sleight of Hand to cheat.
+This pack is for the slippery scoundrels who need to escape a bind - literally. Tying these individuals down is quite challenging.

This also allows them to lockpick doors and gates ingame, letting them escape or break into cells or prisons without immediate notice. Additionally, while in combat the user is able to cleanse themselves of the Trapped Status Effect before Escape Artist goes on a 1 hour cooldown. While out of combat, Escape Artist has no cooldown.}}

-====Parkour Pack====
+{{Proficiency}}
-The Parkour Pack allows the user to deploy Parkour or urban free-running in Regalia that other Characters normally would not be able to do. The Character becomes as “Fast as an Asha” (thus being able to outrun any other Race, except Asha, or those who have this Mechanic also). Additionally, the Character is able to walk on the roofs of Regalian houses (which are normally too steep to allow a person to walk on them without this Pack). The user may move around Regalia with Jump 2 and reach any part they could feasibly reach without the use of Enderpearls and without using leaf blocks to stand on. All other players without similar mechanics cannot use Jump 2 in roleplay.

-====Vandalism Pack====
-The Vandalism Pack allows the user to deploy anonymous Vandalism in the City of Regalia, or even frame another person or group as being responsible. Normal Vandalism is possible for anyone without this Pack, however it always leads to them being detected and announced OOC. By using this Pack, the user becomes anonymous and they may choose to hide their identity, or frame another person or group, thus causing the OOC announcement to carry their name(s). Additionally, this Pack allows the user to sabotage important buildings, historical sites, temples or other such buildings in Progressions. When submitting a Progression Order where this Pack becomes relevant, please be sure to mention it in the description of the Order.
-====Forgery Pack====
-The Forgery Pack allows the user to perfectly forge writing and seals belonging to any of the following persons or groups: Noble Families, The Emperor and the Imperial Court, The Lord Commissioner and the State Metropolitan. When Forging, the user must send a Forum Direct Message to MonMarty on the MassiveCraft Forums, including who is being impersonated, what the Forged Message is, and why it is being done. If all checks out, Staff will force the content to be posted by the person who is being impersonated. For example, a Forgery produced to pretend to be the Emperor will be forum posted by MonMarty, while anything Forged for House Howlester will be posted by the account BillyTheScruffy, this is all done to aid the OOC misdirection. Please note, however, that forgery is not intended to "generate" wealth tokens from other players or entities, and attempts to do so will most likely be bounced.
