You have always been good at remaining unseen and seem to have a unique skill in having unreasonably good marksmanship. This, along with other circumstances, have led you to become an assassin. Depending on why you are an assassin, you may be judge, jury, and executioner, or perhaps you are just the executioner. You sneak up behind your targets and end them when they least expect it. You leave no traceable evidence. You are quick, efficient, and tidy.
- Skill Proficiencies: Acrobatics, Stealth
- Tool Proficiencies: Disguise kit
- Languages: One of your choice
- Equipment: A set of dark common clothes, a dulled hidden blade, and a small padded pouch containing 15 gp
There are many reasons that one might assassinate people for a living. Work with your DM to come up with an appropriate reason for your character, or roll on the table below.
| d4 | Assassination Justification |
|---|---|
| 1 | Sell your skills to the highest bidder |
| 2 | Part of a group or brotherhood |
| 3 | Receive orders from a higher authority |
| 4 | Of your own volition |
You are a master at staying unseen while escaping from an assassination in the fastest way possible. If you spend 1 minute studying the map of a town or city, you know the quickest ways to get from one point to another without being seen. This could entail the use of sewers, though alleyways and rooftops would be a lot more common and reliable.
