     A Born hunter and predator, the Assassin is always on the lookout for prey, especially if he or she can take down their quarry without being known to them. Return to top

 

     It is known that Assassins are evil, summoned and bribed in the confines of veiled shadow to preform heinous works of death.  Assassins are evil men and women bent on secret murder and gain, leaving their destructive and fearful marks for many to look upon.  The Assassin makes a living from those who would hire . . . for a price. Return to top

 

     Not all assassins are evil.  To counter the assassin, the Anti-assassin was created to oppose and stem the tide of murder and bloodshed the assassin has been wreaking upon mankind.  They work for a people who distrust and despise them as much as the Assassin . . . and so they too stalk the shadows, keep a silent vigilant watch over a people who would see them hang from the gallows as well as their quarry.

Return to top

When this ability is successful, a single shot will cause instant death to any part of a creature's body, considering you can successfully deliver the shot with precision as follows:

 

#1. You must be undetected by the target (surprise attack).

#2. You must successfully strike the certain area of the body

       you wish to kill. Remember, to assassinate is not to

       merely kill a creature, but to place a kill shot that will kill,

       or completely incompasitate, the area of the creature's

       body you wish to (i.e., hand, arm, foot, leg, back, neck,

       head, hip, etc.). It is easier to assassinate a random area

       of a creature, rather than go for an absolute kill, but this

       will be completely up to you what you wish to do.

 

#3. The following is the assassination chance if you are

       successfull with #1 and #2:
