Hi every body,
I'm asking myself the following question:
I use the DMG tumbling action optionnal rule.
Do you allow a rogue to use the tumbling action with his bonus action from cunning action ?
(RAW no?)
Thanks.

RAW on p272 of DMG, any character can do it as a bonus action so no need.

That said, at my table my house rule is it is an action only, Rogues included.
 

Tumble (DMG p272) can be used as an action or a bonus action. So by RAW, yes, the Rogue can use their action to Tumble and follow that up with a bonus action to take a Cunning Action. Or do the Cunning Action first and Tumble next.

He doesn't need to use Cunning Action to do it, any PC can do it as either an action or bonus action as others have pointed out.

EDIT: misread the question a bit... you don’t need to invoke Cunning Action at all, the Rogue just uses Tumble (as an Action or Bonus Action). But she could do both on a single turn as I outlined above.
 

Thank you very much
I thought we had to have a bonus action available and use it to make the tumbling. I'm actualy running Lost mine of Phandaline and space are limited on the maps.
