Quick Answer

I see this question come up a lot in my games and online communities. It touches on rogue, tiefling, thaumaturgy. Let me break down how I handle this at my table.

The Question

Here's the full context of what was asked: > I tried to look this up but didn't find anything. My apologies if it's been covered. I'm playing a tiefling rogue. If I want to try to cast thaumaturgy without giving away that I'm casting it (say to close a door on an opponent in the middle of a fight), is there a feat that would allow me to do so?

Class Mechanics

When it comes to the Rogue, I always refer players to my [Rogue guide](https://musedungeon.comhttps://musedungeon.com/characters/classes/rogue-5e/). I've put together everything you need to know about the class features, subclass options, and how to build an effective character.
