Message: <blockquote data-quote="Burne" data-source="post: 483234" data-attributes="member: 3450">Since my DM and I had a similar issue with Assassins, we cooked up the following.  Note that the game in question is very high power.  For a lower power game, you may want to move the Sneak attack dice from 1,3,5 to 2,4.Ebon BladeThe Ebon Blades are members of the thieves' guild the Black Razors.  The Black Razors offer special training to any of its members able and willing to learn.  This training focuses on the ability to quickly move through the city.  The Black Razors believe that no one that encounters the guild in combat should escape unscathed, and the Ebon Blade combat training focuses on this as well.  Ebon Blades continue to train in the traditional skills of the Rogue.Prerequisites:Alignment: Any non-chaotic. Ebon Blade training requires discipline and the ability to work within a group.Skills:Hide: 8 ranksMove Silently: 8 ranksDisguise: 4 ranksJump: 4 ranksClimb: 4 ranksSpecial: Must be a member in good standing of the Black Razor guild or find some other route to receiving the necessary training.Ex-Ebon Blades: An Ebon Blade whose alignment changes or leaves the Black Razors retains all class abilities, but may not gain further levels until the prerequistes are again met.Hitdice: d6Skills: 6+Int modifierClass Skills: The Ebon Blade's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Appraise (Int), Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int, exclusive skill), Diplomacy (Cha), Disable Device (Int), Disguise (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Forgery (Int), Gather Information (Cha), Hide (Dex), Innuendo (Wis), Intimidate (Cha), Intuit Direction (Wis), Jump (Str), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Open Lock (Dex), Perform (Cha), Pick Pocket (Dex), Profession (Wis), Read Lips (Int, exclusive skill), Search (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Spot (Wis), Swim (Str), Tumble (Dex), Use Magic Device (Cha, exclusive skill), and Use Rope (Dex).

Ebon Blade ignore all of the the normal Assassin prerequisites.  The Ebon Blade may continue to buy Assassin levels as long as she continue to qualify for Ebon Blade levels.  In addition, the character adds her Ebon Blade levels to her Assassin (or other prestige class) levels to determine the DC of her Death Attack.Epic Progression: Ebon Blades do no have an Epic Progression.</blockquote>
