[QUOTE="GodOfCheese, post: 1572780, member: 19170"] [b]Ooops[/b] Whoops, you're right (good catch!)-- I formatted the stat block by copying the paper stats into a generator on the web, and I indeed had him as Rog4/Asn2 instead of Rog5/Asn1. The stats have been updated to reflect this. You're right about the skills, too. Per the 3.5 DMG, an aspiring Assassin needs 4 ranks in disguise, 8 ranks in Hide, and 8 ranks in Move Silent (impossible for a Rog4, but certainly possible for a Rog5). A Shadowdancer needs 8 ranks in Move Silent and 5 ranks in Perform (Dance), but most importantly, [B]10 ranks in Hide[/B], which would be impossible for a 6th level character to obtain. This NPC was written up for 3.0e, and I dunno offhand whether the 3e Shadowdancer required 10 ranks in Hide, but if so, it'd be a genuine DM error-- I'd probably add another level of Rogue and make him CR10. [B]Can someone with a 3e DMG handy confirm or deny this?[/B] Haki (as written) was contracted to eliminate Scylla Whisperwater but a bizarre twist of fate (*cough cough*) caused the PCs to wander in at an inopportune moment and spoil the hit.
