Assassin

The skills of assassins include a specialized backstab, with the ability to kill in a single hit. Assassins are experts with poisons, and can concoct and deliver them with uncanny skill. These rogues are also masters of working quietly and secretly, and can avoid the eyes of almost any creature. They can blend into the their surroundings with ease, and are experts at surviving. Their profession makes them highly valued as mercenaries, and also necessitates that they maintain some distance from other people.
