[QUOTE="Wycen, post: 5744654, member: 13732"] About 6 or 7 years ago I was in a campaign where my cleric was attacked by assassins a couple times. Never figured out why, because the outcome of the 2nd attack left 2 dead, one of them turning out to be the friend of my character's wife, but I did have some stuff up my sleave. Firstly, I was a cleric wearing heavy armor with the Endurance and Die Hard feats. These all wont work for you, but what I did was take off the plate mail and put on a suit of chainmail that had been enchanted so that it could turn the wearer into a swarm of spiders and skitter away once per day. Thus, with Endurance and medium armor I could sleep in my armor and if I ever got caught while sleeping I could still escape. Second, my party members helped keep me safe. Or perhaps more correctly, they fought along side me and Fingered of Death the assassin. What I assume is common between a cleric and witch is access to spells like Neutralize poison, Restoration, See Invisible and other utility spells either via prayer or scrolls that I could use to counter what you might expect an assassin to try.
