Let's try to be lazy and look for a real world analogue to assassins serving divine interests: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thuggee" target="_blank">Thuggee</a>.Chief points of interest: stealth, special weapon, teamwork, efficiency.When you add these together, you get an assassin who excels at stealth jobs, uses teamwork and disguises, always - simply always - attacks from position of overwhelming tactical advantage.Breaking it down into d20 components:- Stealth, Bluff, Diplomacy [Gather Information], Perception, Disable Trap [Bypass traps], Disguise, Use Magic Device [Bypass magic wards], Craft skills, Religion, Knowledge (Planes)- Heavy use of extradimensional space (Rope Trick at will probably, Ethereal Jaunt at higher levels)- Abilities to paralyze and trip and grapple (Poisons and martial training)- Ability to use improved form of Flanking for maneuvers (Disarm, Trip, Grapple)- Garrote, close range thrown weapons- anti-resurrection skills (check Assassin writeup)- capstone - no idea, something cult related possiblyResult:- Monk variant, replace relevant abilities with fitting components above- Cleric variant, replace channeling, spontaneous casting and domains with some of the abilities from above- Rogue variant, leave Sneak Attacks, decrease skill points and replace Rogue talents with Thuggee talents from aboveRegards,Ruemere</blockquote>
