Arcane Assassin (5e Subclass)

Arcane Assassin

The arcane assassin is a rogue subclass that can be taken by the rogue class.

You have gained the attention of a mysterious being named the Outsider. Whether through your bearing of a lifetime of extreme adversity, being visited by betrayal and injustice, or other set of circumstances, your actions have drawn this being's interest. Drawing your consciousness to his own strange and timeless dimension simply called the Void, he has bestowed his mark on you, granting you powerful supernatural abilities.

Void Points

When you choose this subclass at 3rd level, you gain Void Points which you can expend to cast the outsider invocations the total of points that you can have is equal to your level, cannot have more void points that your maximum level, when you take a short rest you regain half of your level in void points(rounded down), in a long rest you regain all of your void points. you can only take one short rest to regain half of your void points after that you must take a long rest to use a short rest to regain void points again.

Mark of the Void

Starting at 3rd level, you gain the mark of the void to most it appears as a normal tattoo but they are unaware of what it truly is

See the truth: the mark expands through your body and at 9th level the mark takes it final form it will change of colour show your inside alignment (White=good, Black=Neutral, Red=Evil)

Push into the void: you can pay more Void Points to cast another invocation immediately but at double the cost of void point and these are not regained until you have rested enough to recover the deficit for example casting bend time 1 normally cost 3 void points in this instance it would cost 6 and you would have to rest to regain 6 point before you void point pool starts to refill

Outsider Invocations

When you choose this subclass at 3rd level, you gain 2 outsider invocations of your choice. You gain another outsider invocation of your choice at 5th 9th, 13th and 17th level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the invocations you know and replace it with another invocation that you meet the requirements for.

Eldritch Blink

You move forward rapidly, crossing small distances in an instant. Starting at the 3rd level, you can use a bonus action to expend one Void Point and teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space that you can see, with your direct line of sight. This movement can bypass small to moderate obstacles in your path but you cannot travel through thick solid surfaces. For example you may bypass a grate or glass window but cannot move through a solid wall, even if you have means of seeing your destination on the other side. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. The range increases to 45ft at 9th level.( Cost= 1 Void Point)

Starting at the 9th level, instead of teleporting immediately, you can leave a marker in an unoccupied space within range. The marker looks like a jagged, crumbling image of you but is only visible to you or to creatures with truesight. The marker persists while you are in range and at any time you can use a reaction to teleport to it, only consuming Void Points when you do. If a creature occupies the same space when you teleport, you both make Constitution saving throws, taking 10d10 force damage, or half as much on success, and are then ejected to the nearest unoccupied space 5 feet away.

Eldritch Agility

Starting at 9th level, you can jump on air. The height you can jump is tripled, and you take no damage when falling. In addition, when you use Eldritch Blink, you can resolve the misty step at the apex of a jump you make in the same turn.

As an action you can concentrate on a number of creatures equal to your Intelligence modifier, spending Void Points on each to grant them powers as indicated below for 10 minutes.
