Can Anyone help me with modifying the Assassin PrC, I want it to have no poison use, and no spells. I would like it to be more martial or have a better sneak attack, maybe something like improved feint. Can anyone help

let it have poison use, it doesn't do much anyway, but spells yeah i'd have to agree with you, dosen't make any sence does it?

Well...I'm looking through the AD&D 1e Players Handbook and well, here's what they had that theives did not have.

-They could use all weapons, and they could use shields
-They could use poison and poison weapons.
-when they supprised opponents they had a roughly 50% chance of automatically killing them if they hit, and if they didn't they often used a poisoned blade making them victim die anyway.
-They could speak allignment tongues (Now obsolete) and special languages such as Druidic and Theives cant (also obsolete) when they advanced high levels.
-They could diguise (Theives could not).

So how about making them able to learn all languages including secret languages, adding speak language to their list of skills. And make them resistant or imune to detect evil and know allignment. A further skill might be the ability to fool "Protection from Evil" spells. able to use Items without his allignment effecting it's use (Such as UMD, or magic items). and possibly immunity to Smite Evil.

This sounds a lot like my Killer (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=131242) PrC.
