Level doesn't equal power, but you don't get where you are by standing around and doing nothing. Unless your an heir to the throne.If the Duke were to be a minion, the ensuing assassination attempt would have to be incredibly difficult. It would be overly anti-climactic to say "roll a stealth check, roll a perception check, now attack roll. Congrats, you assassinated him.". Obviously that's the lamest scenario possibly and anyone to do that would be shorting their players.Personally, if its an assassination with a minion as a target, make it a module type adventure. Everything the PC(s) do effects future checks or combat. Not just a SC, but an actual adventure through a castle, city or cavern. That way your players get to experience a little more action before simply offing an important member of the campaign. And with rounds ~6-10 seconds, it could be done in 3 hours of in-game time. I'd say that is a reasonable time frame for an assassination attempt.</blockquote>
