Message: <blockquote data-quote="Iron Sky" data-source="post: 4984874" data-attributes="member: 60965">Our group has a hunch that the Assassin class will show up in the Dark Sun book, like the Artificer for Eberron and the Swordmage for FR.One of my PCs has been playing a level 9 changeling assassin for the last couple sessions since his wizard died.  He mostly focuses on stealth and invisibility, meaning for several rounds early in the combat he's invisible and has a ridiculously high stealth check that most monster's active perception checks would have a tough time beating, much less their passives.Once he's out of invisibility-granting powers, he gets a bit more fragile, though his teleport at-will gets him out of trouble pretty easily(like last session when he teleported out of a brute's grab).As mentioned before, his damage can't compare to that of the group's barbarian, but the assassin is a bit more versatile and can pretty much pick which ever target he wants and get to it whenever he wants.  Changeling doesn't do too much for him mechanically (no racial assassin feats - heck, only 1 heroic racial feat period), but when you mix in the non-combat role-playing/stealth/infiltration aspects, it's tough to beat.</blockquote>
