[QUOTE="Tovec, post: 5991102, member: 95493"] A. That is a requirement of the class. They must kill someone for no reason other than to join. That is generally speaking murder. In every game I've ever played this assassination is either directed by the assassin guild (ie. go kill this person to join us) or it is a significant assassination of someone important and notable so that the potential assassin can say they did it. Either way, killing a person ONLY TO JOIN strikes me as evil. B. The paladin prestige class requires you kill EVIL[B]*[/B] creatures, which I stated previously I find to be generally a good idea. I don't know if killing evil creatures is a Good act compared to a neutral one but killing demons is generally different from assassinating someone just because you have to in order to join a group. The paladin was going to kill evil creatures either way, that is their job. I know it is a matter of degrees, but everything is. I'm not saying you can't be a neutral or even a good assassin. I am saying I understand the evil requirement based on the fluff and entry requirements for the Assassin class. EDIT: Notice the [B]*[/B] - EVIL, capital e v i l. Only evil dragons, demons and undead count. Not evil people, weird huh? Also there is no alignment that the assassins look for when they kill, they look only for the act itself and presumably how well you do it. They don't care if the target is Good, Neutral, or Evil.
