It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly. In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether
an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy
marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

use a finesse or a ranged weapon. You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t

marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
