What're your views on this class?
I ran through the game 2 times, once with an Assassin dualled to fighter, and a second time with a pure Assassin. Both times the character was weak.
Poisoning is truly misunderstood by the game writers, IMHO, as it surely does *not* compensate for the loss of the thief skill per-level gains. It works NOTHING like they describe in the kit info too. You can poison a stack of arrows and pump em out at the enemy for about 9 seconds. That's a lot of arrows, and sure does not reflect the one-shot weapon ability they mention.
Assassins get a plus 1 to hit and an extra plus 1 to damage. This certainly does not compare with the Swashbuckler 's plus with each 3-5 levels, or with a plain fighter's gains. How you're expected to hit anything with the miserable THAC0, I don't know.
Anybody else tried out Assassins and liked the kit? What did you do?
