I assumed that meant that I could use it every time I was hit and not just once per encounter. So my strategy was to go into shade form as an immediate interrupt, take half damage, teleport to an adjacent ally where i would be insubstantial and have cover, make a hide check on my next turn, then darting shadow to move somewhere else at will, and sneak back up on someone from the shadows and attack with CA.But if assassin's escape is only once per encounter, then that kind of ruins that strategy. Which i suppose makes sense, taking half damage at will is probably a little over powered. I thought that the assassin's escape/darting shadow combo was awesome (would of been awesome if shade form was a minor action) and I was kinda basing my character around that.any who... 1.) does this look better... 2.) then this one... 3.) or this one====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ======Jin, level 6Changeling, AssassinBuild: Night Stalker AssassinGuild Training: Night StalkerFINAL ABILITY SCORESStr 10, Con 12, Dex 21, Int 10, Wis 8, Cha 17.STARTING ABILITY SCORESStr 10, Con 12, Dex 18, Int 10, Wis 8, Cha 14.AC: 21 Fort: 15 Reflex: 19 Will: 18HP: 42 Surges: 7 Surge Value: 10TRAINED SKILLSStealth +13, Bluff +13, Perception +7, Thievery +13, Streetwise +11UNTRAINED SKILLSAcrobatics +8, Arcana +3, Diplomacy +6, Dungeoneering +2, Endurance +4, Heal +2, History +3, Insight +4, Intimidate +6, Nature +2, Religion +3, Athletics +3FEATSLevel 1: Mark of ShadowLevel 2: Assassin's EscapeLevel 4: Darting ShadeLevel 6: Melee Training (Dexterity)POWERSAssassin at-will 1: Executioner's NooseAssassin at-will 1: Shadow StormAssassin encounter 1: Nightmare ShadesAssassin daily 1: Targeted for DeathAssassin utility 2: Cloak of ShadesAssassin encounter 3: Cloaking MistAssassin daily 5: Twilight AssassinAssassin utility 6: Darting ShadowITEMSLeather Armor, Light Shield, Rapier, Disguise Kit, Adventurer's Kit, Camouflaged Clothing, Death Shroud Ki Focus +1, Repeating crossbow, Crossbow Bolts (40)====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ======Jin, level 6Changeling, AssassinBuild: Night Stalker AssassinGuild Training: Night Stalker(Same everything else just different feats) FEATSLevel 1: Killer's InsightLevel 2: Hidden InsightLevel 4: Insidious ShroudLevel 6: Brutal Shroud====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ======Jin, level 6Changeling, AssassinBuild: Night Stalker AssassinGuild Training: Night Stalker(Same everything else just different feats) FEATSLevel 1: Assassin's cloakLevel 2: Leaping ShadowsLevel 4: Assassin's EscapeLevel 6: Cunning Striker  I made a 6th lvl avenger as well, and though I can easily see how it would be more powerful (at least in terms of being able to take a creature one on one and controlling the battlefield), I still want to be more ninja like. The trained skills of Stealth +13, Bluff +13, Perception +7, Thievery +13, Streetwise +11 seem completely awesome, adding to it the changeling tactic of a +5 bluff check (with the disguise kit I could have a +20 to bluff). I guess what I am struggling at now is to figure out the feats, if the extra shroud damage is worth it or if I should be going for attacks of opportunity and CA  btw thanks again for the help, at this point i know it must be getting redundant. I think i am just going to get the old figurines out and just start play testing all the feats to see which ones mesh the best together.</blockquote>
