Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mustrum_Ridcully" data-source="post: 1151469" data-attributes="member: 710">Currently, I am also adapting the Assassin for my AU Campaign. In AU, there are nearly no instant-death effects, so I didn`t want that with the Assassin. I gave him medium BAB, d8 HD and 4+INT skill points per level.He gains Sneak Attack at first and every two levels thereafter,.Poison use at first level.At 2nd level, he gains Hidden Attack. This allows him to make an attack that is completely unnoticed to anyone, requiring the target to be flat footed. He must make a Sleight of Hand Check as if trying to conceal the weapon to avoid being noticed. The effect of the damage (usually with sneak attack damage, though it would also work against creatures immune to critical attacks) is only noticed one round later, though the victim suffers the damage and penalties of it immediately... Hidden Attack is a Standard Action, which means the Assassin could go away immediately after the attack, completely unnoticed. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />He also gains "Anatomic Studies", which grants a damage bonus against a chosen type of creature, regardless if the attack is a sneak attack or a regular attack. (+2, choose like Ranger`s favored enemy). At every 2 levels thereafter, he may choose a new type of creature as target. At 4th level, he gains Death Attack. It requires one round of study, and the next attack, if succesful, is an automatic critical, dealing maximized damage (including extra damage from sneak attack). Quite near to a real death attack, but it is "only" damage.He also gains Conceal Motive (like the Negotiators Ability from D20 Modern - sense motive checks suffer a -1 assassin level penalty against the assassin).Later, he gains the ability to make ranged sneak attacks (requiring aiming and an unaware target), Crippling Strike and Bloody Strike (like Wounding).Mustrum Ridcully</blockquote>
