The Jinx

The Jinx is shunned by those who know them due to the mass amount of misfortune which comes their way, constantly stepping on traps, being clumsy and general misfortune lead superstitious folk to stay away. However, the Jinx somehow survives despite this misfortune either through spreading it to their enemies or failing in such a spectacular fashion it somehow turns to success.

Clumsy Attack

Starting at 3rd level, when you roll a natural one on an attack roll, you fail in such a spectacular fashion that it still damages the enemy somehow (for example you trip an fall, accidentally stabbing the enemy on your way down) when this happens. Due to the unpredictable nature of this attack, it is always classified as a sneak attack.

You may do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. This ability recharges on a short or long rest.

At 9th level, your clumsy attack seems to always strike vital points and is always classified as a critical hit.

Spectacular Failure

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, when you roll a natural 1 on an ability check, you fail in such a spectacular fashion it somehow becomes a success. You may instead treat the roll as a 20. 

Once you have used this ability, you cannot use it again until you have completed a long or short rest.

Spread Misfortune

Starting at 9th level, when you hit an enemy with an attack, you can instead choose to fail, letting the jinx take hold in order to spread it to an enemy until your next turn. When Jinxed this way, an enemy has disadvantage on all attack rolls and ability checks until the end of your next turn.

Unpredictable Attack

At 13th level, you may use your sneak attack whenever you have disadvantage on an attack roll as you learn to use your bad luck to your advantage to attack unpredictably.

Reliable Misfortune.

At 17th level, when you use your reliable talent to treat a roll of 9 or lower as a 10, you may instead keep the original roll in order to add it to one of your future attack rolls or ability checks.
