[QUOTE="Camarath, post: 902164, member: 11987"] I thought it might be better as an NPC class because it lacked the options that would normally make a PC class fun to play. I also feel the same way about the DM Guide Assassin, often there is little fun in waiting several rounds as you friends mow through your foes. It can be very annoying to not get to death attack the person you have been trageting because the fighter walked up and killed them. I think you might give the class more skills at least 6 maybe 8 since death attack much less useful with out invisibility and skills are a nice way to do other things with your character other than just kill. I do like assassins especialy when you take down powerful foes in one shot or in games were killing hordes of enemies isn't the norm. Also it might be nice to be able to Death Attack with posion you hid in food or secreted on some item. Or maybe perpare posion with your Assassin lv added to the save DC. You might consider changing Improved Death Attack to where after 3 rounds of study you can treat one flat-footed craeture as helpless. Athough that would make the assassin very deadly to foes that fail to spot it or fail their sense motive checks. [/QUOTE]
