===Assassin===
Description: Assassins reflect the darkest and most wicked side of the rogue. The dealing of death becomes a goal in itself, the epitome of evil. The assassin becomes so centered on this art that he begins to slow his pace, learning and contemplating each "mark" as the best method of killing them becomes clear. They also learn skills in keeping track of and tracking down their marks, as well as other means of making life for the targeted miserable, and short. The assassin can use any weapons, unlike the standard thief, though his armor is still restricted.

How to Play

The assassin is a dedicated killer who hides in the shadows and kills with a single massive strike. Attention should be paid to the skills and expertises that promote sneaking, hiding, and striking. Beyond the initial attack the assassin is a mediocre fighter. The use of poisons and traps can be effective. Extra xp is available through MARK and KILL LOG. The downside of Assassin is the reliance on equipment, potions, or friendly mages, to see and navigate much of the world.
