Awakened Samurai

Along your travels, after many battles and hardships, your fighting spirit has begun to awaken. Using your strange array of weapons to first surprise your foes, you finish them off in a single cleave of your sword. 

the subclass is focused on using outlandish weapons and tactics to take your foes down before they can fully realize what has even happened to them. Fully inspired by the one-eyed, one-armed, samurai Baiken for the fighting game Guilty Gear.

You gain Proficiency in Sleight of Hand checks if you aren't already proficient. You also gain access to special weapons you can use. You must have a free hand open to use these weapons.

some of these weapons may require a save, the DC being 8+prof+Strength or Dexterity (whichever ability is larger)

The fan deal 1d4 slashing, and has the finesse property. You make a new attack roll against each enemy around you. the damage increases to 2d4 at 10th level

 

Kabari: A spiked metal claw at the end of a long chain. as an action, you can throw the chain at an enemy 10ft away. the claw has finesses, and if it hits the enemy they must make a strength save or be pulled up to 10ft to you, taking 1d6+mod piercing damage if they end up within 5ft of you. You can then use a BA to make a follow up attack with the weapon you are holding. you can attempt to pull the enemy to you again using an action if they pass on subsequent turns (unless the enemy uses an action to remove the claw). if the grappled enemy is size large or larger, they auto pass the save, but you can choose to pull yourself to the enemy. The range of the Claw and the distance pulled increases to 15ft at 10th level.

You can only use this weapon a number of times equal to your proficiency mod each short rest. The damage increases to 2d8 at 10th level, and the fireball travel distance increases to 20ft
