However, all assassins are trained in stealth, and dex is the primary stat. They can choose to have equal charisma and dex, and they can choose to be trained in bluff ... but they can just as easily focus more on stealth and the feat allows for that. As for how it works ... an assassin blends into shadows. Shapeshifting can definitely help that. The basic concept of the changeling's feint is using the shapeshifting ability to bluff someone into granting you combat advantage ... stealth (hiding) is another way to get combat advantage, and one that fits more into an assassin's M.O. As for the gnoll ... they have Dex and Con. Assassin is the only class they have that fits them "perfectly" statwise. The chameleon, with he choice of stats, has bards, sorcerors, rogues, etc ... They make an intersting type of asassin, but fit a niche of "hide in plain sight" assassin, compared to the hide in the shadows type they seem to be going for.</blockquote>
