The Mimicry Blade

The Mocking Blade is a master of tactical insults and mimicry, tackling obstacles with expertise in infiltration and getting into the heads of opponents. They specialize in using knives and inflicting damage through words, with Charisma as their main stat.

Mimockery Prowess

At 3rd level, the Mimicry Blade gains the ability to weave their taunts and cunning remarks into a potent combat resource called Mimockery Prowess. The Mimicry Blade has a pool of Mimockery Prowess points, which they can use to enhance attacks or perform special actions during combat.

Mocking Mimicry

At 3th level, the Mocking Blade can easily impersonate someone’s behavior after observing them for at least 3 minutes. This grants advantage on performance rolls to impersonate that specific character. The impersonation is strictly vocal and includes a sarcastic element. This feature requires the use of a knife.

Mockery Mastery

At 9th level, the Mimicry Blade's mastery of insults and mockery evolves, providing subtle hindrances to foes. When you use your Cunning Action to Dash, Disengage, or Hide, you can choose one of the following effects to apply to a creature you can see within 30 feet:

Doubtful Diction: The target has disadvantage on its next Wisdom (Insight) check before the end of its next turn.

Sarcastic Swagger: The target's movement speed is reduced by 10 feet until the end of its next turn.

Taunting Tactician: The target has disadvantage on its next attack roll against a creature other than you before the end of its next turn.

Razor Wit

At 13th level, the Mocking Blade's words become razor-sharp. When the Mocking Blade successfully uses the Cutting Words feature, they can add their Charisma modifier to the damage dealt by their sneak attack. This feature requires the use of a knife.

Mocking Assault

At 3rd level, the Mimicry Blade gains the ability to use their verbal prowess to disrupt and demoralize opponents in combat. As a part of their Mocking Assault feature, they can choose between two options:

 

Mimicry Riposte

At 9th level, the Mimicry Blade's can spend a Mimockery Prowess reaction after witnessing a creature within 30 feet of them make a successful attack or use a magical ability as a reaction to use that same ability on a creature of their choice and take the alternative likeness of the creature until the Mimicry Blade’s next turn. The appearance is strictly for flavor purposes and has no other use in combat. Flavor wise the appearance would be an alternative look to whatever the player chooses.

Master of the Tongue

By 17th level, the Mimicry Blade reaches the pinnacle of verbal prowess. Once per short rest, the Mimicry Blade can unleash a scathing tirade against a single target within 60 feet. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 + Charisma modifier + proficiency bonus) or be stunned until the end of their next turn. This feature requires the use of a knife.
