This is the start of a new series called “Using Monsters” where I plan to cover different monsters and how to use them in your tabletop games.

Steady Aim is a supplementary Rogue class feature presented as an optional rule in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything. It allows the Rogue to spend a bonus action to give themselves advantage on an attack roll, so long as they stay still.
