Assassin

Equipment: Assassin's Garb

Skills:

Vital Strike: The Assassin is trained to strike lethal areas. When attacking an unsuspecting enemy from the flank or out of stealth, the Assassin's first attack will always be a critical strike if it succeeds. Critically striking on this attack will deal even more damage than usual.


Level 2

Garrote: The Assassin uses a cord to garrote the victim. For as long as the assassin maintains the grapple, the victim is suppressed and unable to act. After a few rounds, the victim begins to lose consciousness.

Level 3

Smoke Bomb: The assassin begins with three smoke bombs. Each smoke bomb can be tossed down to quickly shroud them from enemies, disengaging them from combat. The smoke cloud persists for three rounds thereafter, where the assassin is invisible while inside the cloud.


Level 4

Stalk: If an assassin sneaks and studies a specific enemy, they may leap towards that enemy from a great distance as a free action, allowing them to follow up with an attack or ability. (CD: 5)

Level 5:

Assassinate: The Assassin may lurk within the shadows, studying a potential victim for two rounds. After they finish, they may make an attempt that instantly kills the target. Failing to instantly kill the target, but landing the attack, will instead stun the victim for 3 rounds. (CD: 4)

--Passive: If the assassin garrotes a victim for one round, they may attempt the killing blow, killing them instantly. Death resistance still applies. They may repeat this for as long as they garrote the victim.
