The Assassin[edit]
Masters of Stealth and Mobility[edit]
Assassins are behind the scenes operatives of death. They will be given a target and required to do research into the habits and finer details of the target. Using basic training skills and novices to gather this information, they plan a careful approach to assassinate their target. Often after succeeding, the goal is to escape with as little confrontation as possible. Using all sorts of free running techniques, an assassin will aim to lose their attackers and then when they break line of site, they hide in an obscure spot until the coast is clear, then making their way back to the Bureau to report a successful mission.
Touch of Death[edit]
Unfortunately not all missions go according to plan, forcing an Assassin to fight his way out. In the event such a thing might, they are trained to defend themselves to the highest degree. Using their complete arsenal, an Assassin can become a one man army. Swathes of enemies falling at their feet, either from death or from fear. Their lethal techniques can only be matched by the most skilled of fighters.
Shadows of Civilization[edit]
Assassins thrive in built up areas that are heavily populated and have ample building structures. Not necessarily shadows but definitely not a part of the crowd, these uncanny warriors use the environment to their every advantage. If it’s climbable, it’s an escape route. Anything that hinders your enemies is taken advantage of. Everything is permitted.
Creating an Assassin[edit]
An Assassin fights to protect lives, but not all protectors walk in the light. Consider why your character chose the life of an Assassin as opposed to a Paladin or a law abiding Fighter. As an Assassin, you will take many lives in the name of justice and often walk a very fine line between what feels right and what is right. What was the triggering event that led you away from your previous life? Perhaps the uncivilised skills acquired from the Brotherhood will assist you in a personal vendetta. You will be expected to follow the three tenets and the Maxim that guides all Assassins.
- Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent, Hide in plain sight , Never compromise the Brotherhood
- Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted
Assassins sometimes misinterpret the Maxim that guides them and will break one or more of the tenets because of it. Such disobedience is punishable by death, with some cases only permitting demotion or expulsion due to ignorance rather than abuse of the Maxim.
- Quick Build

Hidden Blade[edit]
Starting at 1st level, If you are hidden from your enemies, you may use your Hidden Blade as a normal weapon attack. If you are using it in the middle of combat, your attacks are reduced, equal to half your efficiency bonus(rounded up), unless you are in the flanking position behind an enemy with a friendly creature directly opposite or you are successfully hidden from the creature you are targeting. If you drop an enemy to 0hp, you can make another attack as a bonus action. The Hidden Blade deals a d6 piercing damage and has the following properties: light, finesse and special.
In addition, you can only be proficient and operate one Hidden Blade at a time until 10th level to be able to proficiently dual-wield two Hidden Blades at the same time.
Sneak Attack[edit]
Starting at 1st Level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe's distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the Attack roll. The Attack must be used by the Hidden Blade.
You don't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't Incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll.
The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Assassin table.
Eagle Vision[edit]
Starting at 1st level, you have mastered the technique of Eagle Vision, a very distinguished assassin skill that allows you to determine friend from foe. You can use a bonus action to activate this enhanced visual skill for one minute. While Eagle Vision is active, creatures and objects that you can see are covered in a color of light that corresponds with their personal relationship towards you, regardless of any attempts a creature makes to deceive you. Creatures that are covered in a red hue are creatures that are hostile towards you or creatures that you've targeted for assassination, blue-hued creatures are creatures that are friendly towards you, and objects covered in a golden hue are objects that are of interest to you. Additionally, you can always see a creature that you've targeted for assassination with this feature, even if they enter a building or use magic to conceal their location. You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your Wisdom modifier (rounded down, minimum 1). You regain all expended uses of this feature after taking a long rest.
Freerunning[edit]
Starting at 2nd level, your speed increases by 5 feet while you are not encumbered or wearing heavy armor. This bonus increases when you reach certain Assassin levels, as shown in the Assassin table. Also, your jump distance is doubled, climbing speed is equal to your movement speed, and Athletics check made to run, jump, slide, climb, swing or otherwise move athletically you can make any Strength (Athletics) check as a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check and vise versa.
Viewpoint[edit]
Starting at 2nd level, a special form of a Perception check. Doing so enhances your field of view out to a mile revealing potential friends, foes, civilians and targets. Using this feature at height may reveal points of interest and general layout of terrain. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier per long rest.
Leap of Faith[edit]
Starting at 2nd level, you have learned how to leap from any height, soaring like an eagle and landing unharmed. if you are currently standing on top of a platform or the edge of a cliff, you can use an action to make a leap of faith. If there is some sort of cushioning material on the ground that you could land on, such as a pile of hay, a large pool of water, or a sack filled with produce, you land without taking any falling damage. Alternatively, if there is a creature that is either the same size as you or larger that you could land on, you can choose to land on top of the creature, you and that targeted creature both take equal to half the falling damage. You can only perform a leap of faith if the distance between your current location and the ground is 200 feet or less.
Assassin Archetype[edit]
Starting at 3rd Level, you chose a Archetype that decides what sort of Assassin you will emulate. Choose between the The Warrior Archetype, The Hunter Archetype, and The Negotiator Archetype, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 9th, 13th, and 17th level.
Ability Score Improvement[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Interrogation Tactics[edit]
At 5th level, you gain the ability to interrogate a creature. You can spend 10 minutes talking to a creature to break it and cause it to open up to your questions. The creature must be restrained for the duration:
- During this part of interrogation, you gain access to all information that the humanoid would freely share with a casual acquaintance. Such information includes general details on its background and personal life, but doesn't include secrets. You also gather the surface thoughts of that creature, as if you had cast detect thoughts on that creature.
- After this 10 minutes, you can spend 1 hour to use advanced tactics of interrogation, such as manipulation or torture. If you choose manipulation, you must succeed on a Charisma (Deception), (Persuasion) or (Intimidation) contested by the target's Wisdom (Insight).
- If you choose torture, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against a DC equal to half the damage caused by you. The damage caused during a torture is cumulative, so, if you have caused 30 points of damage over 10 rounds, the DC is still 15. The DC only resets if the creature recover hit points during a short or a long rest. Intimidation during torture is more effective. You gain a bonus of +1 on Charisma (Intimidation) checks for each 15 points of damage caused on the victim. The maximum bonus is up to your charisma modifier.
- If the target has three consecutive successes, this feature don't works on that creature for the next 24 hours. On a success, trough either manipulation or torture, you break the target. The target can't speak a deliberate lie for 1 hour, and will immediately answer all questions asked directly if it knows the answer truthfully for the next 10 minutes.
Counter Attack[edit]
Starting at 5th level, one of the most useful techniques an Assassin can have is the Counter Attack. In a split second you can turn the tide against your enemies and gain the upper hand on most combat encounters. Using your reaction, you can attempt to dodge the enemies attack in a controlled manner and smoothly transition into your own specialized Attack of Opportunity. Successfully rolling an acrobatics check against the enemies attack roll, grants you the opportunity to strike back in the same reaction. If your Hidden Blade is equipped and is the weapon you plan to use for the Counter Attack, your acrobatics check is rolled with disadvantage.
At 14th level, your Hidden Blade is no longer the hindrance in combat it once was. Your ability to read the flow of combat has enabled you to use your Hidden Blade in the heat of the battle. Your Counter Attacks with it are no longer at disadvantage.
Air Assassinations[edit]
Starting at 6th level, You've trained hard with only a single hidden blade and are now capable of using it to perform an Air Assassination. While you are 200 feet or less you may perform a Air Assassination on a singular target. However you'll be taking half the fall damage that is told in the Leap of Faith Feature. Make a single attack roll against them, if an attack is successful against a creature whose current HP is equal to or below 5 multiplied by the Assassin's proficiency bonus, they will be executed and killed. If not, the Assassin deals the Hidden Blade damage to each. This benefits from any Hidden Blade modifications. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Dexterity modifier per long rest.
In addition, if the singular target drops to zero by this feature, you'll gain an additional Action and Bonus Action before initiative is rolled in combat and before any other creatures may react. You can use this part of the feature once per long rest.
Evasion[edit]
Starting at 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area Effects, such as a red dragon's fiery breath or an Ice Storm spell. When you are subjected to an Effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
Grab Ledge[edit]
Starting at 7th level, If you are falling and attempt a Dexterity Save to catch yourself on a ledge or the like and fail, you can reattempt the roll and take the new result. This feature can only be used once per short rest or long reset.
Double Assassinations[edit]
Starting at 11th level, You've trained with the dual hidden blades, now able to use them in perfect unison. While you are adjacent to two creatures that can't see you and are within 5 feet of each other, you can attempt to assassinate both of them simultaneously. Make an single attack roll against both of them, if an attack is successful against a creature whose current HP is equal to or below 5 multiplied by the Assassin's proficiency bonus, they will be executed and killed. If not, the Assassin deals the Hidden Blade damage to each. This stacks with any Hidden Blade modifications. You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your Dexterity modifier per long rest. (Rounded Down)
Execution Chain[edit]
Starting at 14th level, you've mastered the arts of the Hidden Blade and can swiftly strike down multiple enemies in mere seconds. Everytime you drop a creature to 0 Hit Points with your Hidden Blade, you may strike another creature within 5 feet of the initial target with the Hidden Blade. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.

- Guidance

You regain use of this feature after you finish a long rest.
