If you wanted a class for killing people for reasons other than financial gain you could not belong to that class.The 5e Assassin class includes characters who kill for reasons other than money, and therefore does not have the alignment restriction. I personally like the 5e take - it makes sense for such a character to not be a team player, and to be out of it's comfort zone away from civilisation.It also makes it clear that this assassin is not a ninja. Monk does ninja just fine.</blockquote>
