Stealth Training
Avoiding detection and pressing the element of surprise are the most important parts of being a Rogue - and the best way to avoid dying as one. You have learned to use speed and stealth to your advantage in combat. You gain a +5 to your base speed and a +2 AC against ranged attacks when you are not flatfooted.

Overwatch
You are careful to select your targets and know to wait for the opportunity to show itself. You may use a full-round action to go on overwatch. If you do, you gain an attack of opportunity against enemies that move in your line of sight and within your range until your next turn.

Reminder: You may always elect to not use an attack of opportunity.
