[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8519337, member: 6987520"] Really? It's right there in the PHB 1E, so that surprises me a bit. If it was in the back like the Bard that would make sense, but it isn't, it is right with Thief. Anyway, I see a lot of people posting about the Sneaky Rogue, but there is a lot more to Rogues (and Assassins BTW) that sneaking. I think you [I]could[/I] make a full Assassin class, but you would have to expand on the different types of "killers-for-hire": 1. Infiltrator (classic sneak) 2. Imposter (disguised) 3. Sniper (ranged) 4. Thug/Killer (melee "in your face") 5. Poisoner (self-explanatory) And there are probably others I am sure. But each of those could serve as a subclass for an Assassin class. However, such a class would need features to distinguish it from other classes which can do the same thing, e.g. a Fighter with Archery Style and Sharpshooter [I]could[/I] be a sniper, but would lack the burst damage of SA. Which brings up another point, an Assassin would need some mechanic to support a burst damage/ instat-kill [I]other[/I] than Sneak Attack, otherwise it conflicts with Rogue too much IMO. [/QUOTE]
