Fancy Footwork
You've learned how to land a strike and then slip away without reprisal. If you make a melee attack against a creature during your turn, that creature can't make an Attack of Opportunity against you for the rest of that turn.
Rakish Audacity
With your dervish skills you have learned how to take the initiative in a fight, granting you the following benefits:
- Taking the Lead. When you roll Initiative, you can give yourself a bonus to the roll equal to your Charisma modifier.
- Slip Past. You don't need Advantage on the attack roll to use your Sneak Attack against a creature if you are within 5 feet of it, no other creatures are within 5 feet of you, and you don't have Disadvantage on the attack roll; all the other rules for Sneak Attack still apply to you.
Dervish Attacker
You have practiced new ways to use your Sneak Attack. The following powers are now among your Cunning Strike options.
Riposte
You are able to use the opening of a missed attack against your enemies in an attack of opportunity. Whenever a creature critically misses you, you can use your reaction to make an Attack of Opportunity against the creature.
Master Dualist
Immediately after you use your Sneak Attack, you can make another attack against the same target, provided you are within 5 feet of it and no other creatures are within 5 feet of you. This attack does not count against your regular number of attacks as part of your Attack action.
You can use this feature only once per turn.
