Assassin

Assassin is a subclass of Rogue. It's focused on dealing higher and more reliable damage to enemies at the start of battle, especially if you can surprise them.

“

You prefer to deal sublime punishment to a single foe at a time - not in a duel, mind, because a duel implies chivalry, and you're too busy getting the job done for honour.
