Assassins and spells

[Deset Gled]

The first (and maybe second) printings of the PHB say all bard spells have a Verbal component. The third and all subsequent printings changed that to "most bard spells." I wish they'd get around to updating the SRD to match. :\

Wow. I call major shenanigans on WotC. This is a major change, definetally worthy of an errata.

While the RAW argument is certainly up for debate, I tend to interpret it as meaning assassins can cast in light armor, simply because it makes the most sense for the class as presented, IMO.

If you are going to bring sense into it, then I personally don't think assassins should have any spellcasting ability at all.
