One of my players recently (and skillfully) twisted something I've been saying for quite some time. My belief that not all assassins are pure evil and sometimes it is necessary to 'off' someone. Let's face it, there are NPCs out there just dying to step up to the point of your blade. You know, asking for it and the 'he just fell back on it' bit only works so many times.
Anywho, I knew I was in trouble when the player's sweet innocent (okay, she's not that innocent) bard starting having a lot of angst in her posts. When I asked 'what's up with that?' the player told me he was building her up for the assassin PrC and the only problem was finding someone to kill to get into the elite clubhouse.
That's when my foot jammed itself into my mouth. The only thing saving me from digging up a good (besides the standard 'no' answer) excuse why that's not a good idea is my homebrew has a PrC class that would work. Sure there's a Bounty Hunter PrC out there but it really doesn't fit the way this character is going.
So what is everyone's thought? We've all had PCs at one time sent to kill someone and they weren't assassins or evil in alignment. I know I have.
