You even mix in some shadow magic when appropriate.
#2 mangled_mike Sep 16, 2010 23:42:25	the new assassin draft is pretty interesting, huge burst damage abilities.  neat take on the at wills.  definately alot of rpness built into the actions of their attacks.  I would have to play it in a game, but its seems a lot simpler and stronger than the prior builds.  I may be wrong, but thats my inclination.  a 2d10 rider on top of another attack as an encounter is pretty boss, especially adding a poison to it.  Seems pretty apt to a class whose fluff is that they can take someone out in one strike. (edit) that 2d10 rider is for 3rd level. 1d10 at first.  I have 4th level character on the brain atm since I am building one for tomorrows campaign. My bad.

#6 Chiba_Monkey Sep 17, 2010 0:03:51	Devastatin Assassination (PP feature) is ghastly. 6d10 extra damage on a hit.  Which is, at that point, what, twice per encounter? EDIT: That's be at level 13

EDIT: That's be at level 13 Nope, Assassin's Strike can only ever be used once per encounter. It's specifically worded so that you can't regain it without a short rest.

Hmm..I could have sworn I saw something that said you can eventually get to use it 2/per encounter.  Then again, I just picked up HoFL today, so I may have confused it with the rogue's backstab when I was writing that.
#10 Litigation Sep 17, 2010 2:49:00	I could see the Cavalier combining Martial and Divine (before 4e, Paladins in general always seemed to blend those flavor-wise).
#11 Garthanos Sep 17, 2010 8:24:15	Hybrids and multiclassing have given us single characters with multiple roles, multiple power sources so I am not sure if the "new" elements are that new. So if an attack is martial and its augmented by arcane is it now both or what?
