in dragon no. 122 the monster utuchekulu has assassanation listed as one of its special abilities. in the text its in italics so this leads me to belive its a spell or spell like effect, only i cant find it if it is a spell. any ideas? thanks in advance.

This was back in the 1e days, sounds like. Assassination was a special ability of the assassin class, and there was a table in the dmg that compared HD of the would-be assassin and the victim and gave you a flat % of killing them...

I'd basically replace it with the more modern death attack.
