Hi all,
I'm gearing up to start a new campaign soon, and one of my players has presented me with a modified version of the soulknife rogue subclass from the recent psionic subclasses UA. He's refluffed the whole thing with a shadow theme, and has made the following changes:
*Shadow Blades: Can be either a single d8 weapon or two d6 weapons. (I suggested this, although I'm thinking the d8 weapon shouldn't be throwable.)
*Stepping into the Shadows: Instead of the Psionic Enhancement bennies, he's gone for a misty step usable a number of times equal to 1/2 Int mod (minimum 1) per long rest. (I might be inclined to make it usable once per short rest instead.)
Otherwise it's the same as the soulknife.
Assuming the link works, you can read the full write-up here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/subclasses/350779-shadowblade
As an aside, does anyone have any idea why the soul knife's level 17 Rend Mind feature's save DC is based on 10 instead of the usual 8?
To sum up: I'd like some feedback as to whether the above changes are reasonable/balanced. Would this be a homebrew class you'd allow in your campaigns? If not, why not, and what changes would you require to make it allowable?
Thanks in advance!
