[QUOTE="IcyCool, post: 2988192, member: 20308"] I was looking over the assassin the other day, and aside from the fluff, couldn't see any reason for the Alignment and Special pre-requisites. The PrC makes an excellent spy, scout, or thief, just as well as it makes an assassin. As such, I propose the following changes: 1. Either eliminate the alignment pre-requisite, or change it to read, "Any non-good". The Black Flame zealot is another prestige class that gains the Death Attack ability, and it doesn't require an evil character. Why does the assassin require an evil character? (Aside from fluff) 2. Eliminate the special pre-requisite. If you are taking the PrC to be a spy, why should you have to kill someone for it? 3. Change the name and fluff. The name assassin really jumps out and grabs people. It practically screams evil. Call it "Shadow Knife" or somesuch, and alter the fluff to reflect that they aren't psychotic killers. 4. Tell me to stuff it, and just play an evil character if I want the PrC abilities. [/QUOTE]
