Description:;
(PRESTIGE CLASS) The assassin is a master of dealing quick, lethal blows. Assassins often function as spies, informants, killers for hire, or agents of vengeance. Their skill in a variety of dark arts allows them to carry out missions of death with shocking, terrifying precision. Unlike the Blackguard, the assassin is not evil due to devotion to an evil power, but rather due to a complete lack of morals or ethics.

Epic
Assassin:
The epic assassin is capable of sliding from shadow to shadow; lying in wait until his target is vulnerable, then striking like a cobra, leaving only a cold corpse behind.
Hit Die: d6 and Skill Points: 4 + Int modifier |
Tips:
Becoming an Assassin
Rogues, monks, rangers and bards are ideal candidates to become assassins. |
Notes:
Requires Shadows of Undrentide.
The Improved Sneak Attack epic feat is currently bugged as of 1.66 because the additional damage is not applied unless you have at least one rogue sneak attack feat or one blackguard sneak attack feat. So assassins may take the feat but without at least one rogue level or four blackguard levels it's useless. |
