[QUOTE="mellored, post: 6950291, member: 6801209"] Instead of 2 attacks, why not advantage? More fitting that an insta-slash isn't very blockable. It also ups the damage a little, but not much. I also see no reason to return to your original location, let it have better targeting as well. So lower damage, but added flexible targeting and movement. And don't forget, magic weapons help. IMO: Level 1: Blink-Slash Target: Self. You instantly transport yourself past an enemies defenses, striking from an unexpected direction. Teleport up to 30' to an unoccupied space and make a single melee attack against with advantage. At Higher Level: For each spell level beyond first you can repeat the effect an additional time but must select a different target. Level 3: Quantum-Bladestorm. You simultaneously appear next to every foe around you attacking with such high speed that your blade nigh unblockable. Select an unoccupied space beside each creature you choose within 30'. You appear in all those spaces simultaneously. While adjacent, you make a single melee attack treating each attack roll as if you had rolled a 15 and you can add your Intelligence modifier to the damage. You can then choose one of those spaces or your starting space to return to, only existing in that 1 place. Any effect that would apply to you, such as if you appeared in a cloud of daggers or hit someone with flame shield, does not take effect until you return to 1 spot. At Higher Level: Increase the range by 10' for each level spell level beyond 3rd. [/QUOTE]
