Imposter isn’t granted until level 13, but you get additional things like fake backgrounds as you level up also. Still, when you can get things like a forgery kit proficiency and the actor feat at level 4 I question how worth it the assassin class is overall.
- Actor Feat seems to focus mainly on the sound side of mimicry, whilst also giving you advantage on checks to pass for the person you mimic. Paired with Disguise Self or Alter Self can go a long way, because it needs an ACTIVE check to detect. If you are careful how you Roleplay or talk and DM is going along your idea... not much will be able to detect you once you have Expertise in Deception or heck, Reliable Talent at Lv. 11.
- Imposter provide the speechs as well, but also writing and beheviorism, taking much longer to mimic, but once you do, you do not have to make checks vs "casual observers", except if you really mess up somewhere (in which case you make checks at advantage, same as Actor). If you have Expertise in Deception, you probably cannot roll below a 20-ish already...
Personally, I find that very strong in particular settings (political, mercantile and social oriented campaign) and in large towns... but at Lv. 13? I really don't find a need for it. And they did modify it in the 2024 PHB - Imposter got kinda worked into the Lv. 9 and at 13 you now have more option with Sneak Attacks. I like how DnD Deep Dive explains it so I'll link you his review on the Assassin : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN7Q1tthY5k&t=390s - Timestamp at 6:30 for Lv. 13 but Lv. 9 is at 4:54 (see Description).
So the in addition to one to moxy not an entire parcels truly analyze there add an extra in addition to one your mystique change curve your charima score and it could influence your modifier relying upon what you got. You enjoy a benefit on duplicity and execution checks while attempting to mirror someone else.
Although this advantage does not apply to creatures that mimic, it is certainly cool. Therefore, please keep that in mind whenever you use it. Your DM could in any case permit it and I feel like I would in a ton of my games, yet it comes down to you and who your DM is and what they accept and the third part is subsequent to hearing a sound or someone else represent brief you can emulate that sound.
A contender check is expected to decide the idea of the mimicry, inside challenged by your duplicity. There is also some really cool stuff. I would likewise pose the viewpoint that they would possibly make that check in the event that they had motivation to uncertainty you. So if your pretend was great I would discover that to sort of be invalid and void like I just let them roll with the benefit perceive how they do and assuming they roll all around well. You can likewise peruse 5e entertainer accomplishment changeling.
