Assassin

Assassinate: The Assassin may stalk and watch over a target, gaining a +20 bonus to their next attack on that target for each round spent watching over them. They gain a stack of Observance for each round they spend watching. Being caught loses all stacks of observance.

If they spend three rounds watching over the target, their next attack outright kills or paralyzes the subject.

Bosses or minibosses are immune to this effect, and instead are dealt a guaranteed critical strike. Targets immune to critical strikes (blobs, undead, or other creatures without proper anatomy) are also immune to this death effect.


Perk 1:

Tally Mark(1 Observance): If the Assassin kills a target, they may immediately fade into the shadows regardless of whether others see them or not. This allows them to make a stealth check to leave them unseen.

Perk 2:

An Example: The assassin may 'make an example' of the target they kill, butchering their body in such a gruesome fashion that it leaves enemies looking upon the corpse shaken for one round. Shaken targets suffer disadvantage on their attacks. If the target critically fails, they are instead frightened and run the other direction from the corpse.

Perk 3:


Snake Bite: (1 Observance) If an assassin lands an attack on an unsuspecting target, it punctures them, causing them to bleed heavily. Moving aggravates their wounds further and causes more blood to escape; the more the target moves, the more they begin to bleed out until treated.
