Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dragonhelm" data-source="post: 4963618" data-attributes="member: 3867">I realized last night that there's another hurdle that is in my way where the assassin is concerned.  Lack of inspiring art.  The art I've seen for the 4e assassin is somewhat lackluster, IMO.  Art can be one of the biggest inspirations for heroic archetypes out there.So I did some searching.  There is, of course, the 3.5 assassin, which is an improvement...<img src="http://www.dragonquestfrontiers.com/sitebuilder/images/assassin-400x475.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />There's also lots of other good art out there.  One thing that really inspired me was from the Assassin's Creed games.  Now, I've never played them and I don't know much about them beyond the trailer, but the visual of the white-clad assassin (showing some sense of purity?) coupled with a mission of vengeance seemed more appealing than a murderous thug for hire.  Here's some pics:<img src="http://primalgames.de/images/assasin_creed.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://thenextfuture.nl/users/Daniel%20de%20Zwart/Assassin's%20Creed%20Review/Assassin's%20Creed%20GV8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Now, compare that to this:<img src="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/downloads/galleries/DRA379_art/img/3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Not so inspiring.So the whole visual adds so much.</blockquote>
