|reason=This is a clunky one. We've got, at base, an okay shank in which you can occasionally hit big with on that ×4 critical. Low base damage offset with your ability modifier to damage normally... you'd be using it with a Dexterity-based character or as a fair sidearm for someone who happens to be decent at grappling, because hey, light weapon in a grapple. The weapon arts are (besides poorly formatted) made with an apparent lack of care. Five weapon abilities you have to write on your character sheet. Less would be more here. The d8s for sneak attack is probably fine, if uninteresting for an average of 1 extra damage per die. "Slide In" is awkward (that's what she said) and weirdly makes you likely to be betterworse against mobile targets who are likely not taking your sneak attack damage and you shouldn't be focusing on them anyway but whatever. The bleeding damage is still nuts and still doesn't tell us what kind of save it is. An apparent lack of design care went into making this, and it shows. Sandboxing it and overhauling the idea to get something balanced and interesting would go a long way. There's almost something here, but it needs some serious work. Oppose for now since we don't need it cluttering up the main space.
