Like the other [[Rogue]] Creeds, the [[Creed of the Feint]] is learned through rote memorization, but unlike the other creeds, it requires amazing Dexterity and continuous practice. The Powers of this Creed are centered on misdirecting the attention of the "mark". The mark may be an individual who is the target of a pickpocket. With higher Powers in this Creed, the mark could be an entire court, cleverly misdirected to be made unaware of the [[Rogue]]'s shenanigans.

[[Rogue]]s of the [[Creed of the Feint]] might pick a pocket, plant an item, or make an entire horse and carriage seem to disappear to the astonishment of their mark. These skills may use power, but there is no wizardry behind them. The deceptions are practical.

A [[Rogue]] may cause a coin to appear to disappear, but that coin was merely relocated in a dexterous and clever way. Feint [[Rogue]]s can sometimes be found travelling with troubadors, performing card tricks and other spectacles, perhaps quite unaware that they might be capable of much larger illusions by sleight of hand.

Picking pockets is the basic "go to" skill that fagans will send their students out to practice immediately. Students of the [[Rogue Archetype]] learn this skill before any others, as it is a skill that can be practiced infinitely without using Power. Students can simply practice on each other until their skills are perfected.

Teachers passing on a new power will ensure that students have fully memorized the Creed, and training will involve rote exercises between students, followed by field work where a new skill can be practiced upon the unsuspecting and unwary. New Powers usually come to the student after a successful field exercise.
