Base Class: Rogue
Some warriors find themselves following the path of the rogue after their formal training gets cut short. Now wandering in search of a new master, these rogues often find themselves as mercenaries, hired to do the dirty work that others won't. Relying on their skill with weapons and martial arts training, they cut a path through their foes with brutal efficiency.
Way of the Warrior
At 3rd level, even though you left your training early you have still retained some of the prowess it taught you. You gain proficiency with a single type of weapon. In addition, over a long rest you may practice with a single weapon you are proficient with, learning the intricacies and quirks of its techniques. You can use your Sneak Attack on attacks with the weapon as long as you begin your turn or take the Attack action while adjacent to an enemy, even if you don't have advantage as long as you don't have disadvantage. This bonus lasts until you practice with a different weapon.
Sword Splitting Leaf
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn how to exploit multiple enemies at once. When you take the Attack action against a target your Sneak Attack would apply to, you may make a second attack against a different target. Your Sneak Attack damage does not apply to either attacks damage roll, instead each attack deals additional damage equal to half of your Sneak Attack dice, rounding down.
Ki
Starting at 3nd level, your training allows you to harness the mystic energy of ki. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of ki points. Your rogue level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Ki Points column of the Ronin table.
You can spend these points to fuel various ki features. You start knowing three such features: Graceful Blade, Patient Defense, and Spirit Slash. You learn more ki features as you gain levels in this class.
Graceful Blade
You can spend 1 ki point when you touch a weapon you are proficient with. It gains the finesse property if it does not already have it for one minute. If it already has the finesse property, you may add your proficiency bonus as a bonus to damage rolls with it for the next minute.
Patient Defense
You can spend 1 ki point to take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn.
Spirit Slash
You can spend 1 ki point to make all damage you deal with weapon attacks psychic damage until the start of your next turn.

Empty Mind Technique
Starting at 7th level, on your turn you can spend two ki points to end one ongoing effect on yourself that resulted from failing an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma save.
Sword Splitting Spirit
Starting at 13th level, you can cut through a creature's essence as well as physical being. When you split your Sneak Attack damage with Sword Splitting Leaf, you may spend a ki point to add your full Sneak Attack damage instead of half to each attack's damage roll and all of the damage is psychic damage.
Spirit Projection Strike
Starting at 17th level, you can send your essence out to make attacks instead of you. You can spend 3 ki points as an action to make a weapon attack (melee or ranged) against a creature within 30 feet of you. It does not gain the benefits of cover or invisibility against this attack. After making the attack you may teleport to a space you can see within 5 feet of the creature you attacked. You may add additional targets at a cost of 1 ki point per target, up to 4 targets total, as long as they are all within 30 feet of you. You deal your your full Sneak Attack damage on each attack you make as part of this ability, regardless of other conditions. All damage dealt with this ability is psychic damage.
Whatever the regular range or reach of your weapon is
hello i just have a question until wich distance doe the spliting leaf technique can target two enemy ?
Thanks!
the second attack is part of the same attack action. and yes, to the second part.
Hi, I really like this subclass, but I have a doubt about the Sword Splitting Leaf feature.
When you make the second attack against another target within reach, do you count that attack as part of the attack action, or do you count it as a bonus action?
Also when it refers to dealing half your sneak attack dice, it means that you would deal, for example, 1d6 to each target if your sneak attack were 2d6, right?
