Hello Terraria Community! My name is Casey, and welcome to my Compendium of Chaos!
You might be wondering about the title of this thread. You see, I've spent the better part of a month tinkering with a great deal of ideas, and putting everything in one thread would be a bad idea.
So, this is to be a series of posts, with the connected title: Compendium of Chaos.
sigh
Okay, well, I said I wasn't gonna do these, but I couldn't stop thinking about 'em, so here we are.
Welcome to Classy Conundrum, a sub-series of the Compendium of Chaos focused on new classes.
I am sure to get some flak for these, but I deserve it.
This one is Classy Conundrum: Rogue, focused on a hypothetical Rogue class, a successor to the defunct "Thrower class" that sorta kinda existed previously.
Inspired by Calamity's Rogue, of course, but with my own changes and touches.
Some notes to preemptively address some potential concerns:
Core Mechanics
Damage Type: Rogue
Rogue weapons are indicated by a new damage type: Rogue.
Rogue damage increases with the usual sources, generic and class-specific damage buffs, as well as the class-specific Stealth mechanic, detailed below.
New Mechanic: Stealth
Stealth is a new mechanic used by the Rogue class. Various Rogue accessories and gear pieces grant increases to maximum stealth, or effects to modify stealth.
Stealth is intended a risk-reward mechanism. It builds up when not attacking, even faster while stationary, and grants you passive benefits, but taking damage reduces it.
By default, taking damage removes all of your accumulated stealth, but some accessories reduce this.
Stealth Generation is roughly 25% per second while moving, and twice as fast while stationary.
Final Stealth Generation is roughly equal to (0.25 * Max Stealth) * (1 + Sum of Stealth generation bonuses)
Stealth grants increased rogue damage and critical strike chance, increased movement speed, and reduced agro.
Approximate Bonuses per point of Stealth:
Damage: +0.5%
Crit: +0.25%
Movement: +0.5%
Aggro: -3
Author's Note: Current numbers for Stealth generation are roughly equivalent to Calamity, because I'm still not 100% on the balance between the buffs, reduction, and generation rate. It should work out well enough for the hypothetical, but I have no idea if the balance is right for practical gameplay without making a mod to test it. And, I might do that in time, but not right now. Regardless, I apologize if the benefits are too strong, gained too quickly, etc.

Some notes to preemptively address some potential concerns:
- This post, and the others in this sub-series, are heavily inspired by content from the Calamity and Thorium mods. Shoutout to those teams, you're doing great work.
- Some items may be directly taken from their source works. In these cases it is simply because I think the item works more-or-less fine as presented there, or is just fun conceptually.
- No, I don't think Terraria needs new classes. But I dolike the idea of new classes.
- That aside, it'd be cool if any of these ideas make it even if for an existing class rather than a new class.
- These classes act somewhat as hybrid classes, and as such may break some of the rules or perceived rules that exist. I apologize for this in advance.
- I tried my best to give actual numbers for items included in these suggestions, but they're far from perfect, and may lean too much toward either end of the power spectrum.
- On that note, crafting recipes may be too lenient or too resource-heavy as well.
- This is not to say I won't accept feedback, it's simply to have the note more visible so I don't have to repeat myself.

Their damage type is Melee by default, but changes to Rogue if the player's Rogue benefits are higher than their Melee benefits.
Author's Note: I have no idea if this is feasible, so this is skippable if it isn't.
Invisibility
Now also increases stealth generation by 10%.
