Assassin

From The World of Layonara
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The assassin is a master of dealing quick, lethal blows. Assassins often function as spies, informants, killers for hire, or agents of vengeance. The assassin's skill in a variety of dark arts allows him to carry out missions of death with shocking, terrifying precision. Rogues, Monks and Bards are ideal candidates for training as assassins. Unlike the Unholy Champions, the Assassin is not evil due to devotion to an evil power, but rather due to a complete lack of morals or ethics.

These ruthless and avaricious killers have but one requirement other than a predisposition for evil and a penchant for stealth. They must kill another intelligent being for no other reason than pay.

Epic Assassin

The epic assassin is capable of sliding from shadow to shadow; lying in wait until his target is vulnerable, then striking like a cobra, leaving only a cold corpse behind.
