Ok, I love the concept of the Assassin. A stalker of the night, the whisper that his enemies hear before the death blow, etc., etc.

Couple problems though. One thing about Assassins, is that they would normally favor short bladed weapons, right? Daggers and stuff. Now, since it makes no sense for an Assassin to utilize a shield (bulky and clanky) I think they need to change the proficiency options around.

First, a Swashbuckler is an expert in Fencing, the art of using one sword both offensively and defensively. This kit should be allowed specialization in Single Weapon style, not Two-Weapon.

Second, an Assassin favors in close stealthy attacks with knives, garottes, maybe even short swords. It would make sense that an Assassin could take advantage of the Two-Weapon style (3 stars) when fighting with short bladed weapons in each hand.

I can change this using Shadowkeeper, but my question to the forum is would this be a legitimate use of it, in keepeing with a character concept?
