[QUOTE="Achan hiArusa, post: 1591648, member: 2597"] [b]This may be more of an alignment question[/b] This may be more of an argument of how evil is defined. If we have an assassin that is a killer only when he is hired to be, but is otherwise a decent person, is he evil. In fact, when Vlad Taltos was statted for 2nd edition his alignment was listed as Lawful Neutral (some Dragon article I would have to look up), I could see many assassins that would be under that banner. True, dedicated assassins (much like Michael Moorcock's Blue Assassins who were foes of Chaos) can be whatever alignment their belief systems require them to be. Except for the entrance requirement I would have more problems with a Chaotic assassin than a nonevil one, because the class is about honoring contracts and would probably change the alignment requirements to nongood, nonchaotic (and give them back their spellbooks, damn it, they are all about being prepared for a job, not about natural spellcasting talent).
