Feline Grace. The knave has a climb speed equal to its movement speed and does not take fall damage from heights less than 30 feet. In addition, the knave’s footsteps are completely silent.

Sneak Attack (1/Turn). The knave deals an extra 14 (4d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of the knave that isn’t incapacitated and the knave doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.

Spellcasting. The knave is a 3th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is wisdom (spell save DC 15, +7 to hit with spell attacks). The knave has the following druid spells prepared:

  • Cantrips (at will): mending, thorn whip

  • 1st level (4 slots): fog cloud, jump, longstrider

  • 2nd level (2 slots): darkvision, enhance ability, locate object

Wild Shape - Cat (2/Short Rest). As a bonus action, the knave transforms into a cat for up to two hours. When the cat is reduced to 0 hit points, the knave reverts to its normal form, with any excess damage carrying over to the knave’s hit points.

Actions

Multiattack. The knave makes two attacks with its claws.

Steel Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d4 + 4) slashing damage.
