Actions

Panache: As an action, you can make a Persuasion check contested by a creature’s Insight check. On success, a hostile creature has a disadvantage on attack rolls against targets and can't make opportunity attacks against targets other than you for 1 minute, or until one of your allies engages it or it gets more than 60 ft. from you. If it isn't hostile, it is charmed by you for 1 minute.

Melee Sword attack: +10 to hit 1d6+7 piercing + 1d6 psychic

Sneak Attack (Special): Once per turn, you can deal an extra 5d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack with finesse or ranged weapon if you have an advantage on the attack roll. You don’t need an advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 ft. of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have a disadvantage on the attack roll.

Mind Blast Once per long rest you may emit psychic energy in a 30 foot cone. Every creature of your choice in the cone must make an Intelligence saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier). On a failed save, the creature takes psychic damage, an amount of d10 equal to half your level, and is stunned. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and isn't stunned. A creature may repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. otherwise, the effect lasts for one minute.

Tentacles When you make an unarmed strike, you can add your Intelligence modifier to the damage roll. +6 to Hit, +3 damage. If the target is Medium or smaller, it is (escape DC 15) and must succeed on a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw or be until this grapple ends.

Extract Brain. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one incapacitated humanoid grappled by the mind flayer. Hit: The target takes 55 (10d10) damage piercing If this damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the mind flayer kills the target by extracting and devouring its brain.

Description

This Illithid is a masterclass swashbuckler

Evasion- Beginning at 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as an ancient red dragon’s fiery breath or an ice storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

Rakish Audacity Starting at the 3rd level, your confidence propels you into battle. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Charisma modifier. You also gain an additional way to use your Sneak Attack; you don’t need an advantage on the attack roll to use your Sneak Attack against a creature if you are within 5 feet of it, no other creatures are within 5 feet of you, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll. All the other rules for Sneak Attack still apply to you.

Fancy Footwork When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn how to land a strike and then slip away without reprisal. During your turn, if you make a melee attack against a creature, that creature can’t make opportunity attacks against you for the rest of your turn.

Feats Taken: Defensive Duelist, Dual Wielder, Fighting Initiate (Two-Weapon Fighting)
