I would appreciate any comment, so don't pull your punches.... Here we go:Scion of the Last Word"There's no reason to fight and toil, as everything will eventually come to an end"Prerequisites: Assassin, either Bleak Disciple or Nightstalker Guild TrainingYou have witnessed the power of the Last Word and survived. From that very moment you became aware of the fragility of all that is living: you, your friends, your allies and your enemies.Some of your ilk become agents of death, using their knowledge to kill their enemies, others engage in an endless fight to protect lives all over the multiverse, but they all walk the fine line between using the power of the Word wisely and becoming its slave.Scion of the Last Word Path Features:Echoes of the Last Word (11th level): Whenever you deal your Assassin's shroud damage, every enemy in a radius from you equal to the number of shrouds dealing damage, takes damage equal to one-half of your level.Mortal Aura (11th level): Whenever an enemy enters a square adjacent to you, you can use one of your Assassin at-will attack powers against it as an immediate reaction.Finishing Sequence (11th level): When you spend an action point to make an attack against your Assassin's Shroud target and you hit, until the end of your turn you can use your Assassin 1st-level at-will attacks as minor actions.Disheartening Presence (16th level):  when you attack your Assassin's Shroud target you ignore its fear immunity, necrotic resistance and necrotic immunity.Scion of the Last Word Mysteries---------------------------------------------------------------------Angel of Deliverance                  Scion of the Last Word Attack 11When you feel your enemies are close to death, you walk through the shadows to deliver the killing blow. Encounter      Shadow, Teleportation, WeaponFree Action    MeleeTrigger: an enemy within 10 squares from you becomes bloodiedEffect: you teleport 10 squares to a square adjacent to the triggering creature and then use the following attack against it.Attack: Dexterity vs. ACHit: 4[W] + Dexterity modifier damage.
