[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9257305, member: 6704184"] Genuinely. I forgot that the UA Assassinate feature is just a very small damage bonus on 1 attack max in round one, and advantage on initiative and on attacks in round 1 against any target that hasn’t gone. So Rogue level damage once an encounter, advantage on one attack per encounter, and higher chance of going early in round one. [B]Nothing useful after round one.
