College of Snipers v2

College of snipers, commonly referred to as crows. Owe allegiance to one group or organization aside from their own. They work in shadows using cunning, guile and subterfuge manipulating there way into situations under the guise of musicians, story tellers, or couriers. They work as body guards and assassins, some work for coin, some for a cause, but all wish to refine their skills as the deadliest of archers. A sniper, striking from a distance and remaining hidden in shadow with magic to ensure their target are none the wiser and escape is uninhibited.

These individuals tend to gather in taverns under the guise of musicians and storytellers they'll infiltrate noble society, high courts, or simple travel with a band completing jobs as needed. It is rare for a sniper to work with allies, though he may travel with a band they are often unaware of his mission or targets.
