I'm thinking of making one -Human male
at the 8th character level. I'm thinking of rogue5/Fighter2/As1 (for the feats).
But then I see that the instant kill save is based on As level.
What to do? I want those feats.
BTW what feats should I have?
Thanks for the help.

What about 3 rogue levels, 2 fighter levels and 3 assasin levels?

You would lose some skillpoints but thats it.

for feats it really depend on "what type of assasin" you want to play.You'll get a lot of sneak attack dices so you could go 2weapon-fighting. Or you could go for the "sneakyguy" approach.

Youre talking about a +/- 2 difference on your Death Attack? Not a huge deal. Eventually youll get a higher DC.

But why do you want the levels of fighter for the feats when you arent sure of the feats?

Decide how you want to kill: melee or ranged?
Melee: Weapon Finesse and Two-weapon fighting
Ranged: Point-Blank Shot and Precice Shot

Cant decide: Improved Initiative and Blind-Fight

Well you have to go melee for the kill. you cannot intstant kill using a range weapon. Believe me if you could, I would. I want the extra feats to improve his chance to hit. I was thinking things like weapon focus(short sword or dagger)

Isn't there a feat that can increase the DC of your Death attack? Ability Focus or something like that?

Yup there is ability focus think its in monster manual.

And you can insta-gib ranged, there's a fourth level assassin spell that allows it but... its fourth level :weep:

I dont know that Id invest in Weapon Focus, but that really depends on how youd handle your (non-fighter-bonus) feats.

you need to go with a rakasha charachter cause they get to shapeshift and have acess to lvl 7 spells. Go with a sorc/assasin.

that seems like a horrible waste of an ECL 14 though. yo ucould do so much more with just a rogue5, assassin10 along the lines of assassin-ness. and thats by no mean optimized.

So how would you do it? :D

Perhaps Scout 5/Assassin 3, for 8th level. Focus on Spring Attack as a 9th level feat to combine with your Death Attack. With that, and the movement bonus of a scout, you have a head start to get away if your victim should prove so rude as not to die on you with your first blow. :)

Rog3/Ftr2/Ass3 has BAB+6 as opposed to your initial build which has +5. If you really want that high to-hit, it's worth not going to Rog5.
