Assassin

From NecroWiki

Description

The assassin is a thief derivative for those adventurers who have a background in the hand to hand arts of the warrior class. An assassin uses his prior knowledge of raw damage in combination of the stealthy abilities of the thief to gain the skill of assassination. Like other thieves, they use indirect attack forms to try and catch their opponent off guard.
