Traits

Assassinate. During its first turn, the assassin has advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn't taken a turn. Any hit the assassin scores against a surprised creature is a critical hit.

Evasion. If the assassin is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, the assassin instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.

Sneak Attack. Once per turn, the assassin deals an extra 7 (2d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of the assassin that isn't incapacitated and the assassin doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll.

Blind sense

If you are able to hear, you are aware of the location of any hidden or invisible creature within 10 ft. of you.

Actions

Multiattack. The assassin makes two shortsword attacks.

Shortsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 12 (4d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Vicious Dagger 

When you roll a 20 on your attack roll with this magic weapon, the target takes an extra 7 damage of the weapon’s type.

1d4+4 +9 to attack

Breath Weapon (Acid)

When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one attack with a 30 ft. line breath weapon that is 5 ft. wide. Each creature must make a DEX save (DC 16) taking 3d10 acid damage on a fail or half as much on a success.

Bonus Actions
Cunning Action

You can take a bonus action on each of your turns to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

Master of Tactics

You can use the Help action as a bonus action. When you use the Help action to aid an ally in attacking a creature, the target of that attack can be within 30 ft. of you if it can see or hear you.

Reactions

While you wear this cloak, it projects an illusion that makes you appear to be standing in a place near your actual location, causing any creature to have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. If you take damage, the property ceases to function until the start of your next turn. This property is suppressed while you are incapacitated, restrained, or otherwise unable to move.

Misdirection

When you are targeted by an attack while a creature within 5 ft. is granting you cover against that attack, you can use your reaction to have the attack target that creature instead of you.

Chromatic Warding (Acid)

As an action, you become immune to acid damage for 1 minute. Once you use this trait, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

Legendary Actions

Cunning Move: Make a move of up to 30 feet that doesn’t trigger attacks of opportunity - 1 Charge

Smoke Bomb - Drop a smoke bomb, creating a 30 foot area of Heavy obscurement  - 2 Charges
