In the campaign I have been playing in, my character was Charmed and then held by our Sorcerer. Well having been charmed I was right by the enemy Demon. The battle was going bad for the demon and he decided to take off, but the round before he stepped back 5 feet and coup de graced the hell out of my character. I ended up with a Fort save of 40 (high rolling doubled).
I guess my problem is that compared to a Assasin's Death Attack where the Assasin has to study a victim for 3 rounds and that victim can't feel threatened by the assasin this one round coup de grace just blows it out of the water. All you have to is have a poison or a drug that puts the victim to sleep or knocks him/her unconscious and coup de grace him/her... walla, your an assasin without the title.
If I were to house rule this I would do a 2 round study uninterrupted. Oh and another thing. You can provoke an attack of opportunity, but still make the blow. How is that balanced? One extra attack on you for certain death... hmmm trade offs.
Is there any errata on this?
