Desert Wind
-Since this is a d-tier ability, reduce the base range to 3m. However, the default scaling type for distance/range is a 5m increment, so you can buff your scaling to 5m per additional 10.

I-sabbah Veneration
-Abilities are not meant to give video game-like effects without concrete reasoning and logic behind them. Your ability is the act of donning a mask, but such an action would make you stand out if nobody else is wearing a mask. People of a certain rank would not magically lose the ability to see or notice you, especially if you are directly in their line of sight and not just at the very corner of their vision. In order to get the effect you are wanting, you would need a magic tool mask. The plus side of this being that such a tool wouldn't have the same requirements of not being in sight or combat.

-I suggest an alternate ability in which you hold your breath, slow your pulse, and literally suppress your presence. If you secondary into body manipulator, or use some clever mundane items, you could look into counters for scent based detection too.

Starving Shadow
-You can buff the scaling to double the number of knives per investment as that is the standard default scaling type that would be applied.

-Edit to say you can "intercept d-tier projectiles" instead of projectiles "from a d-tier source" as it is possible for an A-tier projectile to come from a D-tier source. It's a subtle but important difference in wording.

-You have a type "up to 8 tier away" I assume that was 8m?

I-sabbah First Blood
-I see no reason why the mask is a requirement for this ability. You should be capable of executing it even if the mask was destroyed or stolen. So I suggest removing it as a requirement or else you will limit yourself unnecessarily. If you can't meet the requirement of having the mask for some reason, you would be unable to use this ability which would be a shame.

-Since you didn't put a scaling type, I recommend damage scaling. For each additional 10, the tier of damage increase by one capping at A-tier.

Apparition’s Ripping
-Just mention a distance for the step in and choose a scaling type.

-Scaling always goes by increments of 10(half if sustained)

One year later, I have returned to finish what I started.

And, yes, I have completely replaced I-Sabbah Veneration
