Maybe the order even tells him which dragon he has to slay. That would fit exactly your reasoning why assassins are evil.Also, what if the person you have to kill in order to join the assassins is happens to be EVIL (like a vampire)? You still only kill him to become an assassin but you have done a very good act.The whole evil vs EVIL thing is pretty arbitrary anyway. Where does evil stop and EVIL begin? Hitler? Stalin? A cultist having personally sacrificed thousands of innocents over decades in order to bring a demon lord into the world? Orcs? A lich who has done evil to become undead a few centuries ago but since then didn't bother anyone and only wants to be left alone?And again, what if an assassin only kills EVIL creatures (Or just normal evil ones)?  There is no real difference between a assassin picky about his targets and a common adventurer or even paladin except for his methods. Adventurers kill thing for money all the time. So why are they not evil while assassins are?</blockquote>
