You focus your training on the grim art of death. Those who adhere to this archetype are diverse: hired killers, spies, bounty hunters, and even specially anointed priests trained to exterminate the enemies of their deity. Stealth, poison, and disguise help you eliminate your foes with deadly efficiency.

Crafts of the Trade

Starting at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the disguise kit and the poisoner's kit. In addition, you can synthesize your own poisons as detailed in the Poisoner feat.

Assassinate

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain the ability to make the most out of every chink in the defenses of your enemies.

You have advantage against creatures that have not yet acted when you initiate combat.

When you land a sneak attack on a creature while you have advantage, you can choose to turn that attack into a critical hit. You can use this feature once per short or long rest.

Infiltration Expertise

Starting at 9th level, you have advantage on Deception, Persuasion, and Performance checks to maintain a disguise and avoid detection.

During a short or long rest, you may gain proficiency in a set of artisan's tools relating to a profession of your choice. This proficiency lasts until your next short or long rest.

Leave no Trace

By 13th level, you have learned enough about assassination to know that it is unwise to leave a witness or be witnessed in the first place.

When you kill a creature, you can immediately hide, disengage, dash, or make a second attack against another target as a part of that action. You can only use this ability once per turn.

Assassin's Guile

When you reach 17th level, you have mastered the art of instant death, and know how to gain the upper hand when near or far. As long as you have advantage, you may make two sneak attacks as an action.
