About this mod
The Rouge is a dazzling new class themed around make-up and enchantment, that I definitely didn't port to prank anyone making a typo when searching for Rogue content. Bring new heights of charm and fear to Faerun. Based on homebrew by William Rotor.

You've heard so much about them. They're mentioned 3,595 times on the official Larian Discord. And yet, only now is it time: the Rouge finally makes its BG3 debut.
This is an adaptation of William Rotor's Rouge. The Rouge is a make-up themed full caster, able to use their magic paints and inks to support allies, charm and terrify foes, and disguise themselves. Take the path of the Fashionista, Goth or Clown, and either bathe in your own personal spotlight or slink into the shadows to weave nightmares from afar. Become a Pretty Face, and talk to animals with astonishing Persuasion.
As a Rouge, you can change your lipstick on the fly. At higher levels, you may adopt a Favoured Face, special make-up that grants actual abilities. Paint your lips green and poison those who come near with a kiss. Cover your face in guerilla markings and blend into darkness.
You ever have a joke run far beyond what you originally intended? Happy April Fools!
Post level 12: The Rouge technically goes to level 20, and some post-12 features are implemented. But as a full-caster class, it's not really easy for me to give proper levels 13-20 without making brand new 9th-level spells, which wasn't going to happen just for an April Fools joke. Maybe some day!
Spells
The Rouge is a full-caster, gaining spell slots at the same rate as a Wizard or Sorcerer. They're a prepared caster using Charisma to calculate their spell DC. They can learn the following (though the exact spells differ a bit depending on whether you're using 5e Spells or Mystra's Spells):

I sent Rotor a private message about reusing some of his homebrew, to which I got the okay so long as I provided credit. If you really do like this mod, consider throwing a dollar or two his way.
