He was sleeping with his "wife" when a ninja assasin above him dripped some poison down a thread directy down into his lips. How did he survive this no-win scenerio? With cinematic luck! He rolled away right when the poison was at the end of the string, his hottie-of-the-week rolled into it and gasped into death which woke Mr. Bond up which allowed him to strike back at the ninja-assasin. In a cinemantic universe, the universe loves and supports cool badass heroes.So, theoretically the bad guy could hire an army of assasins to attack the PCs. But maybe he can only get one because he can only afford one prestige-class-level "Assasin", or there was only one available, or he is a new client and the assasins are being cautious of this job in case it's a doublecross, or whatever. Any extra "assasins" are instead rogue or bard or ranger "assasins-in-training" assistants and don't have the Death Attack. But are all of the assasins perfectly loyal to the client? What if one of the assasin was a secret agent of another house or organization? One that has different use for the PCs? Or in the coincidence-common realm of cinematic plots, perhaps the assasin knows the PC that he is about to attack. Maybe he is a childhood friend...or rival...or lover...or any other sort of soapopera revelations.But if you are a simulationist...whack 'em!</blockquote>
