Please feel free to re-nominate it once it meets the QA criteria and when all the major issues brought up in this nomination have been dealt with.

• Support. Comprehensive and professional. The theme is fleshed out to the degree that the player has the ability to create their unique character from it. --Green Dragon (talk) 08:59, 9 January 2020 (MST)

• Support. It's a narrower take on the wide spectrum of the assassin, with implications of mental illness. But it isn't super constricting I think.--Yanied (talk) 10:11, 9 January 2020 (MST)

• Oppose. In my opinion, this page suffers from not exactly understanding the background part of the word background. Since the assassin statblock is CR 8, as well as being a rogue subclass, being an assassin before becoming an actual assassin feels weird. Sure, unique character, but not a background. --SwankyPants (talk) 20:30, 30 October 2021 (MDT)

• Oppose. Per SwankyPants. "What did you do before you were an assassin?" "Uh I was an assassin." I think the feature is weak. A good feature promotes interaction: Hidden Self is the opposite. I think hard-coding a personality trait ("sadistic") is a problem. Marasmusine (talk) 10:59, 24 January 2022 (MST)
