Starting way back in AD&D, we made a jedi-like class called the K'en-unai (kee' noo ny), originally based out of psionics. We've recreated it for every edition since and it has become an iconic class on the many worlds of our gaming group.

 

For this latest edition, I left psionics behind and went straight into divine. This version uses the paladin as a template and has three sub-classes: Guardian, Ambassador and Dar-k'en (dar keen' ~ Sith-like option).

 

Anyhoo, presenting for your review and critique, the K'en-unai: Warriors of the Flowing Way. And a sample guy. Let me know what you think.

I like it. I always like the jedis mix of powers and abilities, and it's nice to see what it can do in 5e. This class gets the feel of a jedi without being too overpowered.

Extra Attacks are universally at Lvl 5, if a class gets one at all.

Unless they're bonus action attacks. Then the earliest you can get one is level 1 (dual wield). The earliest you can get a bonus action attack with stat mod is again level 1 thanks to the Fighter's fighting style.

The adjusted K'en-unaui with new features for the Ambassador. Loved the Enchanter and Diviner suggestions and went with Hiypnotic Gaze and Portent. Seemed very "these are not the droids..." and "I have forseen it" K'en-unai.pdf

I wouldn't copy powers from other classes that are class specific.  All the Paladin powers as an example (evasion works as it's not class specific).  It dilutes those classes, and makes what you're creating more of a copy or way around multi classing.
