Prosthetic Assassin
A sword for hire with an artificial arm, a prosthetic assassin is a veritable swiss army knife. Housed within the mechanisms of the assassin's mechanical arm are a number of tools they can use to give themselves the upper hand in combat. Once a prosthetic assassin has created an opening for themselves using their prosthetic tools, they will strike with deadly force — then slink back into the shadows to prepare for their next advance.

Actions
Multiattack. The assassin uses its prosthetic arm and makes one katana attack.
Katana. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) slashing damage, or 9 (2d4 + 4) slashing damage if used with two hands.
Prosthetic Arm. The assassin selects from one of the following options:
- Firecrackers. The assassin spins in a circle, releasing firecrackers from its arm all around itself. Each creature within 10 feet of the assassin must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the start of the assassin's next turn.
- Flame Vent. The assassin shoots fire from its prosthetic arm in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
- Loaded Axe. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) slashing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Reactions
Loaded Umbrella. When it is targeted by a melee attack, the assassin can unfold a collapsible shield from its arm and add +3 to its AC against that attack. To do so, the assassin must be able to see the attacker.
