Looking for feedback on this rogue archetype. It's a (mainly thematic) conversion of the 4e Avenger class. Rogue archetype fits it pretty well as a maneuverable, stealthy type. I tried to keep it comparable to the arcane trickster. I didn't go all the way and give them the ability to use a heavy two-handed weapon as they did in 4th. Figured a versatile weapon would be an easier-swallowed compromise.
Avenger (Rogue Archetype)
Some religious orders have need of skilled, discreet individuals to undertake dangerous, clandestine, and politically distasteful missions where a paladin’s overwhelming presence would be undesirable. Recovery of stolen relics, investigation of trap-filled tombs, and removal of heretical leadership are all the purview of the Avenger. Such individuals are often drawn from outside the ranks of the faithful, hand-picked by church leadership from the likes of thieves and assassins for their remarkable talents and willingness to change their ways. These converts undergo intensive indoctrination in religious and martial studies (which in some cases might be called unethical) until they are honed into a razor-sharp, radiant weapon to wield against the church’s enemies.
Monastic Training
When you select this archetype at 3rd level, you reap the benefits of your martial and spiritual training with the paladins and priests of your order. You gain proficiency in the Religion skill and martial melee weapons. You can treat one-handed martial weapons and versatile weapons as finesse weapons.
Spellcasting
When you reach 3rd level, you gain the ability to cast avenger spells. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability, and you use a holy symbol as your spellcasting focus (many avengers have their holy symbol built into the hilt or head of their weapons). You learn the Oath of Enmity cantrip and two additional avenger cantrips. At level 10, you learn one additional avenger cantrip. You know three 1st-level avenger spells of your choice. The Spells Known column on the Avenger Spellcasting table shows when you learn more avenger spells of 1st level or higher.
Whenever you gain an avenger level, you can choose to forget one of your known avenger spells and select a different avenger spell of a level that you can cast.
(apologies to those with dark backgrounds)
Ritual Casting
You can cast any avenger spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 9th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Channel Divinity
When you reach 13th level, you gain the Channel Divinity ability, which you can use once between rests. At 17th level, you can use it twice between rests. You gain two Channel Divinity powers: Turn Undead and Avenger’s Rebuke. Turn Undead is the same as the cleric version. Avenger's Rebuke appears below:

Avenger Spell Conversion Notes
Avenger spells are drawn from the paladin, cleric, and wizard spell lists, and focus on melee combat, infiltration, and minor divination. Some existing 5e spells (especially paladin smites) work well as functional equivalents for 4e avenger powers. New spells below are all adapted from or inspired by 4th edition Avenger class features and powers which did not have equivalents in 5e. In some cases they have been renamed as they’ve had a slight change of focus or to avoid conflicting with other spell names. Some may be suitable for clerics, paladins, and favored soul sorcerers.
Aspect of Might

Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: 1 minute
Divine power bolsters your physical prowess. You have advantage on Strength and Dexterity checks and saves, and your speed increases by 10 feet. Each time you hit with a melee weapon attack, you can reroll one of the weapon’s damage dice but must take the second result.
Avenger's Foresight
2nd-level divination
Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you use when an opponent attacks you
Range: Self

This movement does not provoke an opportunity attack from the attacker.
Avenging Echo

Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute.
A wake of radiant energy trails from your weapon, shedding bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 2nd.
Avenging Shackles
Avenger Cantrip

A brilliant flash of divine light surrounds you. Creatures other than you within range must roll a Constitution save or be blinded.

Your weapon flares with red light. The next time you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack during this spell’s duration, the target takes an extra 1d6 psychic damage, ending the spell. In addition, the target must make a Constitution saving throw or be wracked with agonizing pain, taking a penalty of 1d4 on its attack rolls and saving throws until the end of your next turn. If the target is still suffering from the spell’s pain and you hit it again with a melee attack, the pain’s duration extends until the end of your next turn (up to 1 minute total).

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You mark one creature within range with the baleful red rune of the prison plane of Carceri, and thick iron chains appear to encircle and entrap it. The target takes 3d10 force damage and is restrained. If it makes a successful Strength or Dexterity saving throw (its choice) the damage is halved and the target is not restrained.
A creature that ends its turn restrained by the chains takes 3d10 force damage. To free itself, the restrained target can use its action to make a Strength or Dexterity check (its choice) against your spell save DC, escaping on a success. Another creature that can reach the target can use its action to make a Strength check to free the target. Once the target escapes, the spell ends.

If a creature hits you with a melee attack before the spell ends, you can use your reaction to deal 1d10 radiant damage to it, ending the spell.
