The Assassin
I'm not a big fan of the class from the past, but I kinda like the new take on it, especially for a more morally ambiguous campaign. Dungeon Mastering has a pretty good rundown of the philosophy of the class and how it contrasts with the rogue.
I won't be surprised if it's a very playable class, but it weirds me out that it's defined by a Shadowfell pact. All assassins in the world have made this pact? It feels more like it should be just one of several different builds for assassins.
I think we're going to be giving this a shot this weekend with a new player joining in. I'll let you guys know how it goes.
