Class Rogue

Rogue

A stalker that is always available. 45 health, 5 attack damage, speed 0.30, knockback resistance 0.1.

Behavior

• Stalking: circles its target at about 8 blocks, turning invisible for a while, and throws knives (two per throw) from range.
• Ambush: when the target lowers its guard (stops attacking, just landed, or is low on health), it runs to a spot at the target's side or back and strikes with crossing slashes, rolling in and out.
• Withdraw: after a few seconds of exposure, or when badly hurt, it withdraws with a roll and a burst of speed and throws knives while retreating.
• Dodge: heavy hits (more than 4 damage) are sometimes dodged completely with a sidestep (enableDodge in [combat], default true).
• Stealth: invisibility hides only the body: armor and held items stay visible, like on an invisible player (enableStealth, default true).
• Its paths prefer rough ground and, while withdrawing, never lead back towards the target. If the target is out of melee reach (pillar, ledge), it circles below and keeps throwing knives.

Thrown knives fly straight for up to 2 seconds and deal the rogue's attack damage × 0.6 as a mob projectile (blockable with a shield). They need line of sight, hit only what a melee swing of the rogue could hit and never drop an item; they show the rogue's dagger (main or off hand), otherwise an iron sword.

Countering it

• Keep attacking: it ambushes when you stop attacking, just landed or are low on health.
• A shield blocks the knives.
• Watch for floating armor – stealth does not hide its gear.
