Assassins are shadowy masters of death. Assassins are shadowy figures who often forsake any morals or decency for the purpose of gaining wealth and sometimes prestige from their peers.

Feats[]

Backstab

You are a creatures of the shadows. As such, one of the skills you have learned is the ability to approach your target unseen and unheard. By taking them from behind, you are able to strike one of the critical areas of the body and inflict greater damage than normal. As you become more experienced, the damage you can inflict will increase.

Acrobatic Combat

You have honed your reflexes to a state above normal. You're able to dodge ranged attacks, even magical ones. As well as learning to trick your enemies into attempting to block a faked attack, devastating their defences.

Disguise

The character has learned the ability to use disguises and can use the disguise kit to its fullest extent. The character is also granted a disguise kit to their inventory when choosing this feat. Use a Disguise kit to change your appearance including Name, Gender, Race, Hair/Facial hair Style. Beware talented Detectives who may expose your disguise should they examine you too closely...

Use Magic Device

You have learned to use enchanted items that spellcasters use. The type of item you can use depends on the your skill in this Feat. Some items include: wands, staves, scrolls, as well as other arcane items. But there is a risk, however, just because you can use the item doesn't mean that you know what the item will do when activated. A rogue's life is never easy, especially when it comes to the arcane.

Espionage

A cool head and a quick wit allows the rogue to understand the finer points of espionage, Eavesdropping at doors to hear what happens inside and deciphered hidden messages left in books and scrolls.

Exotic Poisons

This Feat allows Assassins the ability to create various poisons and their antidotes.

Advanced Stealth

Assassins are masters of the shadows, even while running at a full speed they can pick their way through the under brush or darkened corners to remain undetected by the inattentive.

Grievous Wounds

Turning their expertise to murderous aims, the Assassin uses their carefully planned backstab to inflict a grievous and mortal would, rendering their target unable to be healed for a time.
