General

The Assassin is the great equalizer between the strong and weak. No matter who you are those who can afford the services of the Assassin can pay to see their foes removed - for a price. Sometimes, rarely, Assassins kill for more than strictly greed such as Assassins working for a particular church, political agenda, or secret society.

• Level 3: Improved Initiative
• Level 4: Crippling Strike

Earning In-Game

To begin earning Assassin the following is the recommended guideline to follow.

• Perform a minimum of one and ideally more targeted assassinations on behalf of some other party (i.e. you are not killing for yourself, but rather being assigned targets).
• This will be done specifically for gold, though in some cases it will be because you've been ordered to do so by a superior.
• Generally these will be FD (full death) kills, however in some cases subdual beatdowns will be acceptable.
• It is not okay to full damage when you would otherwise subdue just as a way to earn this prestige class.
