The Assassin is the evil end of the spectrum for the Rogue class. They have learned to kill with expertise. They view Killing as an Artform. The weapons they use, even if it is their hands, become tools of destruction. They can cause additional damage with their chosen weapons.
They can wear very light armors, gaining D1 on the meter. They prefer to use one-handed weapons. They are allowed 3 Weapons of Choice. This can include any weapon including bows and crossbows, except the Arcana (Arcana are books, scrolls, wands, magical staves, etc). Assasins can use Critical Strike Daggers. Any Class can use a Staff as their Chosen Weapon.
They can use potions and poisons. It is common for them to use smoke bombs and powders to effect escapes. They are masters of the night and can fade into the shadows. Locked doors pose no problem to an Assassin.
Because of a Rogues penchant for Poisons they are allowed the use of progressively more dangerous poisons to use on their daggers. (This allows them the use of Poison Daggers.)
Some examples of Poison daggers for an Assassin are:
Crit strike weapons are also allowed to a rogue at level 2-5. At lvl 2 they get a +1 crit weapon, at lvl 3 they get a +2 crit weapon, at lvl 4 they have access to +3 weapons. a level 5 retains the ability to get a +3 crit weapon if they desire over the ArchType Weapon
Assassins are familiar with setting traps and catching "prey" unaware. Such Traps might be Deadly Poisons, Fire Traps or Sleep Dusts.
Often Assassins are members of a Clan or larger group so even if met alone its not likely that they are alone. IN fact the Assassin is more than likely a Leader of a Sect of evil Rogues.
On a note: If there is a specific weapon you desire inform your Guild Leader. At times some will not exist or be available. Also note the Crit weapons are older models.
