Not Enough Stabs

A Tabaxi looks sternly at the smiling human in heavy armor. The human knows that the Tabaxi in black hood is a rogue and a thief. Most creatures that willing follow you into the alleyway in dark cloaks are a bunch of thieves. The man in heavy armor looks around and smiles wider. Everyone knows rogues need a friend of two to pull of their dangerous sneak attack. It looks like this rogue is too brave of his own good. The human laughs at the bravery of the Tabaxi thief. Suddenly, the Tabaxi charges forward at impressive speed, taking the taunt. The cloaked figure weaved to the left of the slow moving, heavy armored foe. As he try to turn around to view his attacker, he feels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 sharp pains pierce his back. The morally wounded human coughs up blood and falls to the ground. His last thoughts were of wondering on how did the Tabaxi managed to attack so many times.

Small Weapon Master

At 1st level, you are skilled with using small weapons. You gain the following:

• Creatures have disadvantage to find your hidden weapons
• Weapons that you carry counts half to your carry weight
• You can draw, put away, and pick up weapons count as a free action, not an item interaction
• As a bonus action, you can make one light and single handed weapon attack with your off hand.

Oversized Weapons

At 1st level, to you, everything is a dagger. A shortsword is a big dagger. A staff is a just a big and long dagger handle. A bow is a weapon that shoots dagger on a stick. A crossbow is a weapon that shoots bigger dagger on a stick. Every weapon that does not deal d4 damage is considered as oversized weapon. Oversized weapons have the following features:

• The damage is d4 (not damage dice)
• It keeps all other features
• It has Oversized property

Oversized Weapon Property

Oversized weapons are made of creatures one size bigger than the current wielder (usually small or medium sized creature trying to wield a weapon made for large creature). The Oversized Weapon Property has the following features:

• It has doubled amount of damage die
• Disadvantage on any attacks made with this weapon.
• Creature wielding must have a strength score 15 or higher to be able to use the weapon
• If that creature managed to get one size bigger without increasing the size of the weapon, they can ignore the disadvantage and strength requirement.

Ruling clarification: When a creature is under the effects of reduce or enlarge spell, they are one size bigger. But when a creature equips an oversized weapon, the weapon also becomes under the effects of reduce or enlarge and remains one size too big for the user.

Crafting Daggers

During a short or long rest, you can create a a large dagger with oversize property or a normal dagger as long you have smith's tools and the required materials for crafting. Oversized dagger requires 2 lbs. of metal while normal daggers requires 1 lbs. of metal.

N.E.S.

At 1st level, all of your training is for this very moment, stab a poor fool with numerous stabs. Whenever you use your action to use the attack action, you can use your bonus action to activate N.E.S.. When you activate N.E.S., you preform two weapon attacks with your off hand. Each weapon attack must be used with a weapon that you have not used this turn. Even with two weapon fighting style and other methods, you cannot add your ability modifier to the damage preformed by N.E.S..

The amount of extra weapon attacks increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the N.E.S. column of the Not Enough Stabs table.

Optional Rule

Rapid Attacks

N.E.S. will trigger many, many attacks. It is not fun for everyone to wait for each attack to be rolled and resolved. Instead, the attacker rolls d20s equal to the number of attacks being preformed. After rolling, the attacker chooses the target for each of the d20s. The GM informs the player if the attack hits or miss as SOON as the player chooses the target. Once each d20 has a target, the player rolls damage separately. If the target dies before the all thed20s are used up, the player reassign the new targets.

If the attacks are at disadvantage or advantage, roll double the amount of dice. The d20 will be paired up from left to right. On tie breakers, top to bottom. Just like reading.

Option Rule

Rapid Damage

Once all attacks are known to be a hit or miss, roll d4s equal for each successful hit. Roll one more d4 for each critical hit. You choose which d4 goes which successful hit. You pick two d4 for critical hits.
