Description

This is a killer trained in discreet and efficient murder, relying on anonymity and surprise to perform his task.

- Bonus +1 to hit and +1 damage
- Backstab reaches x7 instead of x5

Disadvantages:
- Only 15% per level to distribute on abilities


Opinions


Bardan says : Of all the Thief Kits, this is the one that starts out weakest and ends up strongest. The penalty to thief scores is severe at the start of the game, but by the end you'll have more points than you can use, and your backstab will be all-powerful. Poison weapon makes enemy mages easy to deal with, as the poison interrupts their spellcasting. Weak to start off with, devestating at later levels.
