More like "Tactics for Dummies". Most of it was not about how to play out an assassin but how to play out tactics. Ivelliis is not playing tactics, so quite a lot (e.g fighting dragons) is not applicable.

I played a halfling assassin through SoA and ToB. Besides thieving duties, he was mostly an archer, mainly due to roleplay reasons. Also I found his 1 apr to make him a poor meelleer. I would backstab occasionally but usually it would be one backstab then retreat and fire arrows. Unfortunately many enemies in ToB are immune to backstab and those who aren't are ones you can kill easily anyway.
