'''Sudden Strike.''' At 17th level, you can strike with deadly speed. Whenever you hit a creature with an attack as part of the Attack action on your turn, you can make an additional attack as part of the same action. This attack can also benefit from your Sneak Attack even if you have already used it. You can’t attack the same target more than once with a single action in this way. | '''Sudden Strike.'''

=== Ace Shinobi === | |||
A shinobi is a covert agent, a mercenary in service to a feudal clan. They are a unique breed of elite warriors, acting as specially trained spies and mercenaries for great lords and shoguns. Where soldiers die on a battlefield, a shinobi specializes in espionage, sabotage, infiltration, assassination and guerrilla warfare.<br> | |||
A shinobi's unique combat arts revolve around combining both stealth and ruthless assaults. Such tactics could never be practiced by samurai. | |||
'''Blade of the Shinobi.''' When you choose this Ace at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with Longswords, which count as a finesse weapon for you so long as you wield it using two hands. | |||
'''Deathblow.''' A shinobi seeks to end a fight quickly and effectively. From 3rd level, when you are hidden and you jump at least 10 feet down onto a creature and hit it with a melee attack, or when you hit a surprised creature with a melee attack, then that creature is knocked prone and you can add an extra 2d6 damage to the first damage roll you make against it.<br> | |||
In addition, you do not take any falling damage if you fall from 30 feet or less, and you can use your reaction to half any falling damage you do take. | |||
'''Relentless Onslaught.''' A shinobi fights relentlessly, using successive attacks to break an opponent’s posture. From 3rd level, when you take the attack action while using a bladed finesse weapon (such as a longsword, saber, shortsword, scimitar or rapier), you can choose to forgo applying your Sneak Attack damage and instead make an additional attack as part of the same action.<br> | |||
To use this option, you must still qualify for Sneak Attack. If you use this feature, you then cannot apply your Sneak Attack damage to any attack made during your turn.<br> | |||
The number of additional attacks you can make increases to two at 11th level, and increases to three at 17th level. | |||
'''Mid-Air Combat.''' A shinobi must move swiftly and silently, whether by climbing walls or leaping over rooftops to find the perfect ambush spot. Starting at 9th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces on your turn without falling during the move. In addition, you learn a special bonus action which you use to launch a grappling hook and propel yourself to another position. You can target any point within 20 feet (which may be upside down or on a vertical surface) and move towards that position. Opportunity attacks against you have disadvantage during this movement. | |||
'''Shadowrush.''' You perfect the art of swift assassinations: like an owl on the hunt, | |||
you sweep upon your foe with a powerful attack, before using them as a platform to vault into the skies. At 13th level, if you move 10 feet towards a creature you can lunge forward to make a melee attack with advantage. You can apply your Deathblow feature to this attack even if it wouldn’t otherwise qualify.<br> | |||
Immediately after making the attack, you can jump 10 feet upwards into the air without provoking opportunity attacks.<br> | |||
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining expended uses at the end of a long rest. | |||
'''Hesitation is Defeat.''' From 17th level, when a creature hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to add your proficiency bonus to your AC for that attack, potentially causing the attack to miss you. If the attack does miss, you can then immediately make a single melee weapon attack against that creature as part of the same reaction. You cannot apply your Sneak Attack damage to attacks made with this reaction. | |||
