  • Path of the Dagger

    - Those who follow the Path of the Dagger are more commonly known as Assassins. They are one of the terrors that fills every noble's life, for with wealth and power comes enemies. These killers for hire are exceptionally good at what they do, and when they take a contract very little will get in their way.

    Restrictions:

    Armor- Assassins favor movement and surprise so they may only wear Leather and Studded Leather

    Weapons- They cannot use any 2 handed melee weapons.



    Cut Purse- A Cut Purse is your every day, small time pick pocket barely taking enough to get by. They tend to shy away from combat, preferring to instead remain in the background and not attract notice for good or for bad.

    Skills Gained:

    Sleight of Hand- With this skill the mark almost never knows that their purse is being lifted. In combat, one is never sure which hand holds the dagger.



    Infiltrator- Infiltrators are a step up from a Cut Purse and decide that taking purses from people in the market just is not enough. Infiltrators break into just about any low level house, the higher mansions have too much security, and take just about whatever they can find. No lock can hold them back, and few traps in the city hold any mystery for them.

    Skills Gained:

    Pick Lock- Pick any non-magical lock you happen to come across.

    Disarm Trap- Disarm just about any non-magical trap you happen to come across in the city.



    Thief- Thieves are basically Infiltrators of higher skill. They have learned how to keep quiet, as well as how to spot the basic magical alarms that are outside most mansions. Further more they know when to take someone by surprise and have no problem doing so if they can avoid getting caught.

    Skills Gained:

    Stealth- Thieves know when and how to be silent, and can avoid most detection.

    Bypass- Thieves know how to spot the basic magical alarms and traps, as well as how to get past them.

    Sneak Attack- Thieves know the value of taking someone by surprise, and often do so. Its hard to defend against an attack from behind.



    Slayer- Slayers have gotten used to having to kill people, and are even beginning to enjoy it. Their names are known among the lower orders of society, and they will do just about anything for a price.

    Skills Gained:

    Fatal Strike- If they catch someone by surprise then they can easily slip a dagger into their heart.

    Weapon Focus: Dagger- By now a Slayer is a master of the dagger.



    Assassin- Assassins are at the top of their game, and know how to kill a man in several different ways. They often enjoy killing, and are very good at it easily becoming rich of the contracts offered to them. Not only are their names whispered in fear among the lower order of the city, but the nobles know their names and will often call on them to remove a problem.

    Skills Gained:

    Handle Poison- Assassins know how to not only poison food, but their weapons as well.

    Silent Death- Through some strange power they are able to silence a person, so no one can hear them scream.

    Shadow Cloak- Assassins may cloak themselves in the shadows making them damn near impossible to see at night.
