Man, I almost hate how good this is. Collecting some thoughts.
Obscuring strike may need to be reduced down to 2d6, Blinding an enemy can be good, but most of the value comes from allies, the rogue won't really benefit from it.
There are some insane combos here.
For example: You are a rogue, you have two scimitars. You attack and miss, so you attack with your off-hand and hit. You could activate Withdraw and retreat, but since you utilized Nick, you still have your bonus action to disengage. But maybe you withdraw anyways, into cover and use cunning action to hide.
If you are a Thief Rogue, you can pull a faceless assassin, cutting down enemies while remaining hidden, so long as you either have good cover, or can reach good cover after every attack.
One negative I see? Vex is rarely useful for a rogue who can be hidden or sniping near constantly. A rogue Swashbuckler is about the only one who will be interested in the rapier for Vex.
Oh, and speaking of the Swashbuckler, Awe is good. Awe is SUPER GOOD. Because you can't attack a creature that has charmed you, a Swashbuckler who successfully pulls off multiple awes can one v one duel an entire platoon. They have an ability to counter-act being ganged up on, one of the rogue's biggest weaknesses and one of the most iconic swashbuckler abilities.
Seriously, this rogue is sickeningly good.
