Even though you didn't play it like this, the assassins really were designed this way. It is not the subclass you think it is.I actually think it only works well in specialized games. I can see why it was included though, and in those games it is a fine choice.Luckily the Swashbuckler was made for those who want a combat subclass for the rogue.Also, redesigning the combat round to cater to assassins is backwards. If your issue is the assassin, I would suggest houseruling it rather than houseruling the combat round. It will be much simpler and have less unforeseen consequences.None of this is new to me though, this is how I have always played it.*edit* Trope/Flavourwise I also don't think it is a failure of the system where the assassin ends up being the least popular rogue subtype. It was well done. It is flavourful, has useful abilities, but is also quite niche which is exactly what an assassin should be imo.</blockquote>
