the soulknife is WAY to similar to the psycic warrior, plz change

where is the assassin?!

the soulknife needs to be properly initiated.

Per the monk class, monk weapons are all simple weapons and shortswords that don’t have the heavy or two-handed property. Per the description above Psychic Blades are simple weapons and don’t have any of the disqualifying properties so they should count as monk weapons. Ultimately it would be your DM’s call. 

the psychic blades count as a ranged attack on D&D beyond with its text blurb at the bottom when it should be a simple melee weapon (with its traits simple, finesse, light, thrown) because the ability itself describes it as such. also with how the ability describes it I'm pretty sure it should count as a martial arts weapon for a multi classed monk/soulknife rouge

Where is the trickster archetype?

 It will appear once you've purchased it. I just purchased the Players Handbook and Arcane Trickster and Assassin just popped up on this page for me.

The concept of realizing you've been dead before definitely makes more sense as a background instead of a subclass. I do like the idea of a rogue who is good at escaping death, but the subclass needs a rework.

The DM only has the power the players give them.

 I don’t think that is true, DM does whatever, and it goes. A player can be stopped by the DM. DM cannot be stopped by a player.

Why do they only have one archetype? I wish they had more so I don’t have to go to other websites to know what my roguish archetype features are. It gets annoying opening more tabs.

Where is the trickster archetype?

Make this official!

I like this one!

Quote from Cekseiro >>

Revived *really* shouldn't be a subclass. That's a background with extra abilities thrown in, and that addition to audience with death is preeeetty much completely useless, outside of AL.

 Revived would be super overpowered as a background. The fact that it lets you go without food, drink or air is super powerful alone, not to mention you no longer need to sleep, effectively getting to do an elven trance but better since you can still hear your surroundings. Your free interchangeable proficiency every long rest is also really useful, especially since your long rests are only 4 hours long. All that is just your third level features, not to mention your resistances to poison. Meanwhile, at 9th level you get to cast speak with dead for free every long rest and get a free buff out of it. audience with death is certainly a little situational at 13th level, but it's still really useful if you're trying to find some important information for the plot. Finally, at 17th level you get to use what is essentially misty step (but it can pass through walls) as a cunning action with no limit on how many times you can do it.

So whilst The Revived might not be your cup of tea, writing it off as a background with extra steps is just a little dumb to me. I get that people may not find it as practical as other rogue sub classes because of how basic some of its abilities may seem on paper, but a lot of this stuff is really strong, especially in campaigns with a heavy rp basis. For example, no longer needing to breath, eat or drink means you can take on even the most extreme of environments with very little effort necessary, and most of the abilities are incredibly useful if used in the right way. I respect your opinion, and I can see why you may not like it, but I have to disagree with you here.

Having read the comments, it seems one or two people are confused by how the 'Bolts of the Grave' feature works, so I thought I might help by clarifying as it is quite confusingly worded and I too found it confusing at first:

• when the description says to make a 'ranged spell attack' it doesn't mean it requires the rogue to be a spellcaster, it just means to make a ranged attack with your spellcasting modifier
• the spellcasting modifier for the feature is stated in the description and is Dexterity
• the damage dice for the spell are equal to the dice from your sneak attack bonus damage (so it will increase with your level)
• the spell is activated as part of your cunning action so you need to use that in order cast it

so, when you use your cunning action and if you haven't yet used your sneak attack this turn, you can make a ranged attack roll against a creature within 30 feet of you using the standard d20+your dexterity modifier, and if you hit you can roll your sneak attack damage dice and once again add your dexterity modifier in order to get your total damage

Also, in case anyone was wondering, I doubt sneak attack applies to the feature, it seems from the way its worded that it counts as a use of your sneak attack.

The DM only has the power the players give them.

I'll probably just stop using the item and if my group asks why I will point out long-term effects it'd have on my character. At best my DM can provide caveats for situations he set up unintentionally, at worst if he did know what he was doing I would let the group know I am done.

I am just not sure if there is a rule that allows that extreme aside from DM rules because it's way broken. Plus it is not clear when or how the item causing sanity to be lost, like I used it to check an NPC bitten by a vampire so I lose some sanity. I need it to be more clear or not have things so brutal or have way to regain sanity back or something. What makes it kind of suck is it's the only wonderous item my group has gotten that has effected someone negatively. All others the group has gotten hasn't done anything bad for them.

Not sure if it helps but the item are goggles that can give my character true sight. I have used them maybe 4 time since getting them

Weird question, I would ask in area about ability scores if it had comments area but it is relevant.

Is there a thing in Dnd 5e where you have permanent autofail on an entire ability checks?

Preface I am swashbuckler in group and have started getting insanity slowly from item DM gave me and he says when I lose too much all my charisma checks fail automatically. So I read this as meaning if I do panache at level 20, proficient in persuasion, full 20 in charisma so +5 modifier, with reliable talent and I role a nat20 on my persuasion for panache and the enemy rolls a nat 1 for their insight my panache would still FAIL

Is that an official thing in system or homebrew, not sure where it came from just feels kind of broken to have all rolls on an ability stat just auto fail and no way to get it back. I mean this isn't rolling with disadvantage roll twice take the lowest this is don't even bother because it won't work ever.

Are permanent autofails on an ability check a thing in fifth edition?

 It sounds like your DM kind of sucks and wants to nerf your character into oblivion. However, the DM rules. 

I don't like The Revived Archetype AT ALL. So I made my own:

Jester

You are skilled in entertaining crowds with feats of acrobatics and dexterity. Sometimes Jesters live to steal attention and be in the spotlight, while others do so as a means of diversion- allowing for purses to be cut while their owners are distracted.

Life of the Party

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Acrobatics and Performance skills if you don’t already have it. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of those proficiencies.

Performing Art

You are skilled at using certain weapons in your performances and in combat. When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, choose one of the following options.

Knife Juggler

You can interact with daggers for free during your turn. Whenever you attack with a dagger, you gain the Extra Attack feature until the end of the turn. Additionally, while you have a dagger equipped, your walking speed increases by 10 feet. 

Ringmaster

You gain proficiency with the whip if you don’t already have it. You now roll 2d4 for damage rolls with whips. While you are wielding a whip, other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter your reach.

Poledancer

The quarterstaff becomes a finesse weapon for you. When you attack with a quarterstaff during your turn, you can add your proficiency bonus to your AC until the start of your next turn, but cannot take any reactions. During your turn, if you take the Dash action, the distance you can jump is doubled.

Trapeze Artist

At 9th level, you enjoy flirting with gravity. You gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed, and you can use your Uncanny Dodge feature to halve falling damage. If you begin your turn above an enemy, you gain advantage on any attack rolls against them if you attack them after lowering to their elevation.

Partystarter

At 13th level, you now add your proficiency bonus to initiative rolls. During your first turn in combat, your Sneak Attack damage increases by 3d6 if you hit a creature that has not taken a turn in combat yet. 

Tonight’s Entertainment

At 17th level, you can use your Cunning Action to make a Charisma (Performance) check contested by the Wisdom (Insight) check of any creature that can see and hear you. If you succeed, an affected creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you, and any attack roll made against it by a creature other than you has advantage until the start of your next turn. Affected creatures also have disadvantage on Perception checks until the start of your next turn. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.

You have to pay for the books on D&D beyond to get more than the basic rules subclasses
