[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 7687356, member: 67338"] this is all great. the two examples that have come up in my games are: An NPC Drow assassin who has fought the PCs many times was hired to kill an elven sage/wizard (PCs were around 9th level, the drow was 13th level, the NPC target was 4th or 5th level) so our PC bard/assassin used the Sage as bait. He stack a bunch of buffs on himself, cast invisibility and walked through the local bazar with the wizard. The drow assassin jumped out and assassinated the wizard, in response the PC Assasinated the drow... in game terms the Drow declaired an attack, hit, then delat damage. Then the PC went, and hit and dealt damage... both used the class feature assassinate, because both had totally surprised there targets. Initative was never rolled at all... later, maybe 3 levels later. The PCs had to stop this warlord, and she was pretty awesome. The same PC assassin/bard killed her lover (not hard he was not really much of a threat) and used disguse and magic to become him. He then infiltrated the camp with the plan being to kill said warlord. When they went for a walk alone, the PC delivered the attack (super poison and magic dagger+assasinate) the warlord died never even knowing it wasn't her lover killing her... [/QUOTE]
