Message: <blockquote data-quote="bwgwl" data-source="post: 393780" data-attributes="member: 3876">thanks. the prestige class was my interpretation of the "real" assassins of the Middle East during the Crusades era. they were nothing like the Assassins in the DMG -- rather than relying on stealthy sneak attacks to take down their foe, they'd instead just run up to their victim, ignoring whatever guards or other people might be present, and attempt to strike them down. these assassins knew full well it was usually a suicide mission and they would be killed soon after killing their victim, but they had been promised entry into Paradise if they did it.all in all, their structured organization and fanatical devotion to their religion seemed more lawful to me than chaotic. and their ability to use their fanatic zeal to bolster their attacks sounded a lot like a "rage"-like ability.(my original idea for the class was simply a minor variant of the DMG Assassin class that used divine spells instead of arcane. these other abilities were added later after i had spent more time thinking about the purpose of the class.)i believe the prestige class is still on the web on my old (no longer updated) website.here it is: <a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~thinlines/world/prestige_classes/holy_slayer.html" target="_blank">Holy Slayer</a></blockquote>
