| Epic Talents  || Once per day, a rogue with this talent can craft simple but effective camouflage from the surrounding foliage. The rogue needs 1 minute to prepare the camouflage, but once she does, it is good for the rest of the day or until the rogue fails a saving throw against an area effect spell that deals fire, cold, or acid damage, whichever comes first. The rogue gains a +4 bonus on Stealth checks while within terrain that matches the foliage used to make the camouflage. This ability cannot be used in areas without natural foliage. This bonus stacks with Camouflage. || EP

|-
! In Your Shoes (Su)
| Epic Talents  || Once per day, the rogue may swap places with a willing creature as an immediate action.

| Epic Talents  || The damage die of the Rogue's Sneak attack gains +1 per die. || EP
|-
! Punctured (Ex)
