The best assassins in 5e, IME, are Gloomstalker Rangers, and Shadow Monks.
Not sure what Hunter and Champion bring to the concept of an Assassin?
Ranger = TW Fighting or Archery, Colossus slayer, cool spells,extra attack, other ranger crap
Fighter = better crits, action surge, 2nd attack, other fighter crap
I can think of a bunch of stuff.
Anyways, your reply doesn't answer my question.
Yeah...Fair enough.
I meant for level dips. Ranger or Fighter? Perhaps none at all.
I want to play a Kenku rogue assassin and was curious if anyone had experience or advice for such a build. What do you think?
Oh snap. Yeah I see.
Does the assassin's assassinate ability count with the gloom stalker's dread ambusher extra attack?
