You’re just making the subclass work at cross purposes to the rest of the class.   Swahsbuckler already does it, as does Arcane Trickster with SCAG cantrips. One that does it in a different way isn’t going to throw things off. Certainly won’t require giving up anything from the base class. True, but Expertise matters a lot more when it comes up than a 2-5 point bonus to damage does. Especially when it’s 2-3 points at the levels where most play occurs. But in the end, we simply disagree about how good the rogue’s damage is. IMO, it’s fine, but not so great that boosting it will put it at first place. There is room to accommodate folks who want a rogue that is more about “ganking fools” without being locked in to trying to convince their group and DM to accommodate their need to get surprise all the time for their subclass to matter in a fight.</blockquote>
