#1 Surrealistik Feb 11, 2013 19:18:20	This is a bit of a two parter, as the Assassin suffers from poor power selection, ridiculous fragility and a terrible striking mechanic. The power selection issue I'm addressing beyond this revised profile. What I've done so far; let me know what you think: "The shadows betray you... because they belong to me!" Hit Points & Surges: Hit Points At 1st Level: 12 + Constitution Score Hit Points Per Level Gained: 5 Healing Surges per Day: 7 + Constitution Modifier Why? Increased to standard striker levels to bring the Assassin's staying power up to par with other strikers. Surge count increased to Executioner levels. Assassin’s Shroud Assassin's Shroud - Assassin Feature At-Will (1/turn) * Shadow Free Action - Close burst 10 Target: One enemy you can sense in the burst Effect: You increment the number of your shrouds on the target by +1, up to a maximum of 4. These shrouds last until you use this power against another enemy or until the end of the encounter. When you make an attack against the target, before its attack roll, if any, you can choose to invoke all of your shrouds on the target. If you do, your shrouds vanish, each dealing 1d6 extra damage, +1 extra damage for each shroud on the target beyond the first. Reduce the number of shrouds by 1 before dealing this extra damage on a miss. Creatures you're hidden from aren't aware of your shrouds. If the target is reduced to 0 hit points or less, you can transfer all but one shroud from it to another enemy you can see within this power's close burst as a free action. Level 11: 2d6 damage per shroud + 2 damage per shroud beyond the first Level 21: 3d6 damage per shroud + 3 damage per shroud beyond the first Special: You can only use this power on your turn. Why? Improves the damage output of the striker feature to be competitive and scale competitively. Rewards assassins who take the risk of stacking multiple shrouds proportionately. Allows the Assassin to compound his shrouds while being stealthy without paying a feat tax (Hidden Insight). Helps mitigate shroud wastage on badly damaged or prematurely killed enemies. Deathstroke: (New Mechanic) Deathstroke X: When you drop a non-minion creature to 0 hit points or fewer while invoking X or more shrouds with an attack (referred to as a Deathstroke attack) you gain an additional described benefit. Shade Form: You gain the Shade Form and Shadowcast powers. Shade Form - Assassin Feature You transform yourself into a being of shadow, becoming more difficult to notice and to harm. Encounter * Shadow Minor Action - Personal Effect: You assume a shadowy form that lasts until you resolve an attack or until the end of your next turn. While Shade Form is active you gain the following characteristics: You are insubstantial. You gain vulnerable 5 radiant and resist necrotic equal to 5 + half your level. You don't take any penalties for squeezing, and can squeeze to tiny size. You can make Stealth checks to become hidden if you have any cover or concealment. You can use cover granted by your allies both to become hidden and to remain hidden. Sustain Minor: The form persists until the end of your next turn. Deathstroke 4: You gain 1 additional use of this power until the end of your next short or extended rest. Shadowcast - Assassin Feature From hidden obscurity, you cast forth a shadowy duplicate to deliver an attack. Requirement: You must expend a use of your Shade Form power to use this power. At-Will* Conjuration, Shadow Minor Action - Close burst 20 Effect: You conjure a shadowy duplicate in an unoccupied square within the burst that lasts until the end of your next turn. It has the following properties: 1 hit point, and it can be attacked and is immune to your own attacks if you chose. A missed attack never damages the duplicate. You can sense and make attacks as if you were in the duplicate's space as well as your own. Resist necrotic equal to 5 + half your level. When you take a move action, you can also move the duplicate your speed. The duplicate counts as a creature and ally for the purposes of flanking and Shadow Step. You can dismiss the duplicate as a free action. Sustain Move: The duplicate persists until the end of your next turn. Special: If you make an attack through your duplicate and you were hidden during the attack, you can make a Stealth check to remain hidden after the attack. Why? Letting you use Shadowcast in place of Shade Form improves the effective in-combat impact of Shade Form in a thematic way which was lacking due to its exceptionally short 'real' or practical duration (dispelled the moment you attack). Rewards the shroud invocation/stacking mechanic, and can help soften the blow of wasted shrouds if the target is badly damaged by the time they are invoked. Improves Shade Form to be on par with the superior Black Flame Form alternate class feature power. Shadow Step: Shadow Step - Assassin Feature You vanish into the shadow energy around one creature and then step out of it near another creature. At-Will * Shadow, Teleportation Move Action - Personal Requirement: You must be adjacent to a creature. Effect: You teleport 3 squares a square adjacent to another creature. Level 11: Teleport 4 squares. Level 21: Teleport 5 squares. Deathstroke 4: You can use this power once this turn without meeting its requirements as a minor or immediate action, teleporting up to 1 extra square for each shroud you invoked with your Deathstroke attack. You can teleport in or adjacent to a square of dim light or darkness in this way. Why? Thematic change that allows the assassin to exploit the darkness and environment, and quickly reposition and engage the next target, or retreat into the shadows after a successful assassination. Rewards the shroud invocation/stacking mechanic, and can help soften the blow of wasted shrouds if the target is badly damaged by the time they can be invoked. Overall not as necessary as the others, but there are definitely solid reasons for its implementation.
#2 Surrealistik Feb 15, 2013 21:52:59	New Class Feats (WIP): Heroic: Show Inescapable Shroud Requirements: Assassin's Shroud feature Benefit: Increase the size of the Assassin's Shroud to a close burst 20. Further, if your assassin’s shroud target is within 20 squares of you, you can use Assassin's Shroud on it, even if it is hidden to you or you have no line of sight or effect to it. False Guise Requirements: Shade Form feature Benefit: You gain the False Guise power: [INDENT]False Guise - Assassin Feature The darkness sweeps over your wavering form, changing your appearance to that of another. Requirement: You must expend a use of your Shade Form power to use this power. At-Will * Shadow, Illusion Minor Action - Personal Effect: You alter your physical appearance with a powerful illusion to take on the appearance of another creature of your size or smaller (your actual size doesn't change). The appearance of your clothing, armour and possessions change to match your new appearance. This illusion duplicates the textures, olfactory, thermal and auditory qualities (such as voice) of the creature you are mimicking, and its possessions. This new appearance lasts until you dismiss it as a free action, or you use this power again. Any creature that attempts to see through your disguise makes an Insight check opposed by your Bluff skill +5. You may take a 10 on this opposed check.[/indent] Darkness Falls Requirements: Shade Form feature Benefit: You gain the Darkness Falls power: [INDENT]Darkness Falls - Assassin Feature Your shadow erupts into a conflagration of impenetrable darkness. Requirement: You must expend a use of your Shade Form power to use this power. At-Will * Shadow, Illusion, Zone Standard Action - Close burst 5 Effect: You gain darkvision and the burst creates a zone that blocks line of sight for creatures other than you until the end of your next turn. All light in the zone is darkness. Sustain Minor: The zone's size decreases by 2 and the effect persists until the end of your next turn. [/indent] Shadowtrace Requirements: Shadow Step feature Benefit: Whenever you use Shadow Step, until the end of your next turn you can teleport back to the last space you left with Shadow Step as a minor action. You don’t need line of sight or effect to teleport in this way. Reaper's Stroke Requirements: Shade Form feature Benefit: When you make an attack invoking your shrouds while Shade Form is active, that attack is made against your assassin shroud target's lowest defense, ignores cover and concealment, insubstantial, all immunities and resistances and has its critical hit range increased by +1 for each shroud invoked with this attack. Hidden Avoidance Benefit: Whenever a creature would enter your space while you're hidden, you can shift 1 square as an Opportunity Action. Swift Discorporation Requirements: Shadow Step feature Benefit: Once per encounter, whenever you are hit with an attack, subject to damage or an enemy effect, you can use Shadow Step as an immediate interrupt. Perfect Likeness Requirements: Shadowcast feature Benefit: Whenever you use the Shadowcast power, make a Bluff check with a +5 bonus (you can take 10 on this check). This is the DC creatures must exceed with an Insight check to both notice you using the power, and to differentiate you from your Shadowcast duplicate. Spectral Duplicate Requirements: Shadowcast feature Benefit: Your Shadowcast duplicate has phasing. Whenever your Shadowcast duplicate would be destroyed by non-radiant damage, make a saving throw instead. On a success, the duplicate is not destroyed, and has 1 hit point. Umbral Dissipation Requirements: Shadowcast feature Benefit: Your Shadowcast power gains the zone keyword, and the following effect line: Aftereffect: You may create a zone in a close burst 1 centered on the duplicate that lasts until the end of the next round. All light in the zone is darkness for creatures other than you and it blocks line of sight for creatures other than you without darkvision. Opportunistic Double Requirements: Shadowcast feature Benefit: You can threaten and make opportunity attacks as if you were in the space of your Shadowcast duplicate. Improved Deathstroke Benefit: Reduce the Deathstroke requirement of all assassin powers by 1 (to a minimum of 1). Once per encounter, when you trigger a Deathstroke effect, you can use Assassin’s Shroud once as a free action as part of that effect, ignoring its usage limits. This use doesn’t count towards its usage limits. Improved Shadow Step Requirements: Shadow Step feature Benefit: Reduce the Deathstroke requirement of Shadow Step by 1. Shadow Step gains the following additional properties: Being in or adjacent to a square of dim light or darkness fulfills Shadow Step's requirements. You can teleport in or adjacent to squares of dim light or darkness. If you would teleport to a square adjacent to your Assassin's Shroud target, you can teleport up to 1 extra squares for each of your shrouds that target has on it, and you have combat advantage for your next attack against it that invokes your Shrouds. Improved Shade Form Requirements: Shade Form feature Benefit: Reduce the Deathstroke requirement of Shade Form by 1. Shade Form now grants the following additional benefits while active: You ignore difficult terrain and can move through enemy spaces. You can't be grabbed. All grabs on you end. You have a +5 power bonus to Stealth checks while in dim light or darkness.

You can make attacks as if you were in the target's space. While the target is unaware of your shrouds, it is unaware of this effect until you make an attack from the target's space with this effect.

This can increase the effective number of shrouds beyond 4. Impaling Strike - Assassin Attack 13 You impale your target on your weapon, or bind it there with penetrating shadows. Encounter ✦ Shadow, Weapon Standard Action - Melee weapon Attack: Dexterity vs. AC Hit: 2[W] + Dexterity modifier damage and you grab the target. The target takes an extra ongoing 1[W] damage (until escape). Attempts to escape the grab are always against your Reflex, and you can still move the target as normal for a grab. The target takes a -2 penalty on all attempts to escape this grab for each of your shrouds on it. If you or the target is subject to forced movement while the target is grabbed in this way, you can have the target move with you, or vice versa. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks. You can't make weapon attacks against enemies other than the target while you're grabbing it in this way. Night Stalker: While no enemies are adjacent to the target, it takes a penalty to all attempts to escape the grab equal to your Charisma modifier. Bleak Disciple: Each time the target takes ongoing damage from this power, you gain an equal number of temporary hit points Special: You can use this power in place of a melee basic attack as part of a charge. Scything Assault - Assassin Attack 13 You force your quarry to yield ground under a furious assault of driving slashes.

Reaper's Stride - Assassin Attack 13 For a moment, you take on the countenance of a reaper, flying towards an enemy with the singleminded purpose of ending its life.

This is a bit of a two parter, as the Assassin suffers from poor power selection, ridiculous fragility and a terrible striking mechanic. The power selection issue I'm addressing beyond this revised profile.

What I've done so far; let me know what you think:

"The shadows betray you... because they belong to me!"

Hit Points & Surges:

Hit Points At 1st Level: 12 + Constitution Score
Hit Points Per Level Gained: 5
Healing Surges per Day: 7 + Constitution Modifier

Why? Increased to standard striker levels to bring the Assassin's staying power up to par with other strikers. Surge count increased to Executioner levels.

Assassin’s Shroud

Assassin's Shroud - Assassin Feature
At-Will (1/turn) * Shadow
Free Action - Close burst 10
Target: One enemy you can sense in the burst
Effect: You increment the number of your shrouds on the target by +1, up to a maximum of 4. These shrouds last until you use this power against another enemy or until the end of the encounter.

When you make an attack against the target, before its attack roll, if any, you can choose to invoke all of your shrouds on the target. If you do, your shrouds vanish, each dealing 1d6 extra damage, +1 extra damage for each shroud on the target beyond the first. Reduce the number of shrouds by 1 before dealing this extra damage on a miss.

Creatures you're hidden from aren't aware of your shrouds.

If the target is reduced to 0 hit points or less, you can transfer all but one shroud from it to another enemy you can see within this power's close burst as a free action.

Level 11: 2d6 damage per shroud + 2 damage per shroud beyond the first
Level 21: 3d6 damage per shroud + 3 damage per shroud beyond the first
Special: You can only use this power on your turn.

Why?

Improves the damage output of the striker feature to be competitive and scale competitively.
Rewards assassins who take the risk of stacking multiple shrouds proportionately.
Allows the Assassin to compound his shrouds while being stealthy without paying a feat tax (Hidden Insight).
Helps mitigate shroud wastage on badly damaged or prematurely killed enemies.

Deathstroke: (New Mechanic)

Deathstroke X: When you drop a non-minion creature to 0 hit points or fewer while invoking X or more shrouds with an attack (referred to as a Deathstroke attack) you gain an additional described benefit.

Shade Form:

You gain the Shade Form and Shadowcast powers.

Shade Form - Assassin Feature
You transform yourself into a being of shadow, becoming more difficult to notice and to harm.
Encounter * Shadow
Minor Action - Personal
Effect: You assume a shadowy form that lasts until you resolve an attack or until the end of your next turn. While Shade Form is active you gain the following characteristics:

You are insubstantial.
You gain vulnerable 5 radiant and resist necrotic equal to 5 + half your level.
You don't take any penalties for squeezing, and can squeeze to tiny size.
You can make Stealth checks to become hidden if you have any cover or concealment.
You can use cover granted by your allies both to become hidden and to remain hidden.

Sustain Minor: The form persists until the end of your next turn.
Deathstroke 4: You gain 1 additional use of this power until the end of your next short or extended rest.

Shadowcast - Assassin Feature
From hidden obscurity, you cast forth a shadowy duplicate to deliver an attack.
Requirement: You must expend a use of your Shade Form power to use this power.
At-Will* Conjuration, Shadow
Minor Action - Close burst 20
Effect: You conjure a shadowy duplicate in an unoccupied square within the burst that lasts until the end of your next turn. It has the following properties:

1 hit point, and it can be attacked and is immune to your own attacks if you chose. A missed attack never damages the duplicate.
You can sense and make attacks as if you were in the duplicate's space as well as your own.
Resist necrotic equal to 5 + half your level.
When you take a move action, you can also move the duplicate your speed.
The duplicate counts as a creature and ally for the purposes of flanking and Shadow Step.
You can dismiss the duplicate as a free action.

Sustain Move: The duplicate persists until the end of your next turn.
Special: If you make an attack through your duplicate and you were hidden during the attack, you can make a Stealth check to remain hidden after the attack.

Why?

Letting you use Shadowcast in place of Shade Form improves the effective in-combat impact of Shade Form in a thematic way which was lacking due to its exceptionally short 'real' or practical duration (dispelled the moment you attack).
Rewards the shroud invocation/stacking mechanic, and can help soften the blow of wasted shrouds if the target is badly damaged by the time they are invoked.
Improves Shade Form to be on par with the superior Black Flame Form alternate class feature power.

Shadow Step:

Shadow Step - Assassin Feature
You vanish into the shadow energy around one creature and then step out of it near another creature.
At-Will * Shadow, Teleportation
Move Action - Personal
Requirement: You must be adjacent to a creature.
Effect: You teleport 3 squares a square adjacent to another creature.
Level 11: Teleport 4 squares.
Level 21: Teleport 5 squares.
Deathstroke 4: You can use this power once this turn without meeting its requirements as a minor or immediate action, teleporting up to 1 extra square for each shroud you invoked with your Deathstroke attack. You can teleport in or adjacent to a square of dim light or darkness in this way.

Why?

Thematic change that allows the assassin to exploit the darkness and environment, and quickly reposition and engage the next target, or retreat into the shadows after a successful assassination.
Rewards the shroud invocation/stacking mechanic, and can help soften the blow of wasted shrouds if the target is badly damaged by the time they can be invoked.

Overall not as necessary as the others, but there are definitely solid reasons for its implementation.

New Class Feats (WIP):

Heroic:

Show

Inescapable Shroud
Requirements: Assassin's Shroud feature
Benefit: Increase the size of the Assassin's Shroud to a close burst 20. Further, if your assassin’s shroud target is within 20 squares of you, you can use Assassin's Shroud on it, even if it is hidden to you or you have no line of sight or effect to it.

Minor Action - Personal
Effect: You alter your physical appearance with a powerful illusion to take on the appearance of another creature of your size or smaller (your actual size doesn't change). The appearance of your clothing, armour and possessions change to match your new appearance. This illusion duplicates the textures, olfactory, thermal and auditory qualities (such as voice) of the creature you are mimicking, and its possessions. This new appearance lasts until you dismiss it as a free action, or you use this power again. Any creature that attempts to see through your disguise makes an Insight check opposed by your Bluff skill +5. You may take a 10 on this opposed check.[/indent]

Darkness Falls
Requirements: Shade Form feature
Benefit: You gain the Darkness Falls power:
[INDENT]Darkness Falls - Assassin Feature
Your shadow erupts into a conflagration of impenetrable darkness.

Reaper's Stroke
Requirements: Shade Form feature
Benefit: When you make an attack invoking your shrouds while Shade Form is active, that attack is made against your assassin shroud target's lowest defense, ignores cover and concealment, insubstantial, all immunities and resistances and has its critical hit range increased by +1 for each shroud invoked with this attack.

Hidden Avoidance
Benefit: Whenever a creature would enter your space while you're hidden, you can shift 1 square as an Opportunity Action.

Swift Discorporation
Requirements: Shadow Step feature

Spectral Duplicate
Requirements: Shadowcast feature
Benefit: Your Shadowcast duplicate has phasing. Whenever your Shadowcast duplicate would be destroyed by non-radiant damage, make a saving throw instead. On a success, the duplicate is not destroyed, and has 1 hit point.

Umbral Dissipation
Requirements: Shadowcast feature
Benefit: Your Shadowcast power gains the zone keyword, and the following effect line:
Aftereffect: You may create a zone in a close burst 1 centered on the duplicate that lasts until the end of the next round. All light in the zone is darkness for creatures other than you and it blocks line of sight for creatures other than you without darkvision.

Opportunistic Double
Requirements: Shadowcast feature
Benefit: You can threaten and make opportunity attacks as if you were in the space of your Shadowcast duplicate.

Improved Deathstroke
Benefit: Reduce the Deathstroke requirement of all assassin powers by 1 (to a minimum of 1). Once per encounter, when you trigger a Deathstroke effect, you can use Assassin’s Shroud once as a free action as part of that effect, ignoring its usage limits. This use doesn’t count towards its usage limits.

Benefit: Reduce the Deathstroke requirement of Shadow Step by 1.
Shadow Step gains the following additional properties:

Being in or adjacent to a square of dim light or darkness fulfills Shadow Step's requirements.
You can teleport in or adjacent to squares of dim light or darkness.
If you would teleport to a square adjacent to your Assassin's Shroud target, you can teleport up to 1 extra squares for each of your shrouds that target has on it, and you have combat advantage for your next attack against it that invokes your Shrouds.

Improved Shade Form
Requirements: Shade Form feature
Benefit: Reduce the Deathstroke requirement of Shade Form by 1.
Shade Form now grants the following additional benefits while active:

You ignore difficult terrain and can move through enemy spaces.

Standard Action - Melee weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: Dexterity vs. AC
Hit: 1[W] necrotic and psychic ongoing damage (save ends). If the target already has ongoing necrotic and psychic damage, increase it by this amount instead. The target automatically fails all saving throws against this effect until the start of your next turn. Whenever the target takes this ongoing damage, you can invoke your shrouds on the target as if you hit it with an attack.
Level 21: 2[W] necrotic and psychic ongoing damage (save ends).

The duplicate has 1 hit point, can be attacked, occupies its space, counts as a creature for the purposes of shadow step, counts as an ally to you and your allies, and flanks with you and your allies. A missed attack never damages the duplicate. You can then make the following attack through the duplicate:
Target: Melee weapon; one creature
Attack: Dexterity vs. AC
Hit: 1[W] + Dexterity modifier damage. If the target is your assassin's shroud target, it grants combat advantage and can't shift as long as the duplicate flanks it.
