Read Tschai, by Jack Vance, and especially the part where Adam Reith, while among the golden yaos, got a contract on his head for assassination by the 12 Strikes Method. The poisoner assassin is a perfect gentleman.Duh ? Intent to kill -- It is there anyway, whether by sword or by fireball.Pain -- It is there anyway, whether by sword or by fireball.In fact, using a poisoned dart with a strong anesthesic (which, like any medic knows, means a poison -- anesthesician is one of the hardest job in medecine) is probably going to be less painful than being slowly hacked into tiny mashed roasted bits by the combined efforts of the fighter's blade, the cleric's hammer, and the wizard's fiery spells.</blockquote>
