Assassin Fledgling

At 1st level, you have just began your journey to become the greatest assassin of your time. You can use the Hide action as a bonus action. Also when you hit a creature with an attack that you had advantage on you can add your proficiency bonus to the damage and if you critically hit the target you can double your proficiency bonus on the damage roll.

Dagger Expert

The dagger is the optimal weapon for an assassin and thus the best weapon for your hands. When engaged in two-weapon fighting with daggers, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus action attack. At 1st level, when you throw a dagger to make an attack roll you can ignore long range penalties to the attack. Additionally you learn to use a dagger even more perfectly. You can add an additional d4 to your damage rolls with daggers. This amount increases as you take levels in this class as follows, 2d4 at 5th level, 3d4 at 10th level, 4d4 at 15th level, and 5d4 at 20th level.

Angled Attack

Starting at 2nd level you learn how to strike in different ways at your target. If you throw a dagger and miss the target the dagger ricochets and returns to your hand. Additionally when you land a melee attack with a dagger you may recover all thrown daggers that hit the target of your melee attack. At 10th level, if you have advantage on a creature your abilities in fight with daggers allow you to inflict the damages and the effects of your attacks a second time with your melee attack when you recover all thrown daggers that hit the target before your angled melee attack.

Targeted Attack

At 2nd level you learn to strike subtle weak points of your enemies when you strike them. Once per turn when you hit with an attack you can make it a targeted attack. If a Targeted Attack requires a saving throw the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your intelligence modifier. You can only use each Targeted Attack once during each encounter.

Arm Strike

You target a creature's arm or appendage to throw off their attacks. The target must make a Constitution Saving Throw, at disadvantage if they are holding a weapon. On a failure the target has disadvantage on all attacks it makes before the end of its next turn and takes an additional 1d6 of damage. On a success they only take the additional damage. Arm Strike's damage increases by 1d6 at 5th level (2d6), 10th level (3d6), and 15th level (4d6).

Eye Strike

You target a creature's eyes, blinding them temporarily. The target must make a Dexterity Saving Throw, at advantage if they have more than 2 eyes or see without their eyes. On a failure the target is blinded until the end of your next turn and takes an additional 1d8 of damage. On a success they are not blinded. Eye Strike's damage increases by 1d8 at 5th level (2d8), 10th level (3d8), and 15th level (4d8).

Leg Strike

You target a creature's leg or other part of their body they use to move. The target must make a Strength Saving Throw, at advantage if they have multiple different types of speed. On a failure the target's speed is reduced by a number of feat equal to your proficiency bonus x5 and they take an additional 1d6 damage. On a success they do not have their movement speed reduced. Leg Strike's damage increases by 1d6 at 5th level (2d6), 10th level (3d6), and 15th level (4d6).

Lethal Strike

You target a creature with everything you have to deal the most damage possible. The Target must make a Dexterity Saving Throw, at advantage if their size is smaller than yours. On a failure you double your damage dice for the attack, however on a success you roll no damage dice for the attack and only deal modifier damage instead.

Torso Strike

You target the largest part of almost every creature's body, their torso. The target must make a Constitution Saving Throw. On a failure they have disadvantage on the next Saving Throw they make and they take an additional 1d8 damage. On a success they do not take the additional damage. Torso Strike's damage increases by 1d8 at 5th level (2d8), 10th level (3d8), and 15th level (4d8).

Weakness Strike

A creature that you can already take advantage of can even be taken advantage of even more. If you already have advantage on an attack you can deal an additional 2d6 damage on the attack and the creature must make a Wisdom Saving Throw. On a failure you may make an additional attack against them immediately. Weakness Strike's damage increases by 1d6 at 5th level (2d6), 10th level (3d6), and 15th level (4d6). Weakness strike can only be used once per round.
