Skilled:

Unleash unparalleled versatility. Gain proficiency in three skills or tools of your choice. Become a master of stealth, acrobatics, lockpicking, or any combination that suits your playstyle.

Athlete:

Enhance agility and finesse. Reduce movement costs for climbing and rising from prone positions, and execute impressive running jumps. Improves navigation and maneuverability. Also provides a +1 to Strength or Dexterity.

Tough:

Boost survivability. While Rogues aim to avoid damage, BG3 presents unavoidable challenges. Tough significantly increases hit points, making your Rogue more resilient.
