That's another one that I have heard is not good, but, I think it would be good with a dual-weilding F/T with multiple attacks per round.
Greater deathblow is not good for melee weapons, because they can't hit enough enemies in the space of time to make it worthwhile. With archers, who don't need to walk between opponents wasting valuble time, it can be very useful. Assassinate is good only if you have a decent THAC0 and lots of attacks. If your character can get in lots of hits it's a killer. If not, an extra trap would be better.
