What your assassin stabbed at the fruit seller's stall on high street was a construct or summoning disguised with an illusion. Meanwhile, the wizard has divined where you're hiding, has your wife locked in a cell, and something that looks exactly like you has assaulted the head of the local thieves' cartel in broad daylight and then run away.
Way to devolve the thread into "You can't kill the
TO Wizard".
A. Due to your conformity, the impulse based knee jerk you had not to post anything useful you missed the whole low level part.
B. Immunity to divinations is LA+1 and can be bought off at level 6, same time as obtaining Death Attack.
The wizard doesn't even get Scry yet.
C. Assassins in Assassin's Creed lack wives. I find that to be as creditable as the antihero secret spy assassins in movies.
D. "Mr Deadly, for 8 years you have been our most secret, loyal, and deadly assassin. I find it illogical for you do be so sloppy and to attack our headmaster. The timing on this is strange too, immediately after the kill order of an illusionist was sent to you this happened. I'm assigning more men to this task but for now I'm going to abuse my generic position of I'm-rich-screw-WBL and pull a +30 Sense Motive ring out and question the hell out of you."
Now. Reread the 1st post please.
So let's say I have a relatively low level NON Abrupt Jaunt Wizard who has to be active in going about his business in a city, and interacting with folk fairly regularly. Lets assume that, for whatever reason, his actions piss people off. People who send assassins who look like normal folk, whose modus operandi is to study said Wizard for three rounds while that wizard is buying peaches or something and then do their Death Attack thing.
What are the best ways for a relatively low level wizard to NOT DIE to assassination attempts where he likely doesn't even see it coming?

Side stepping the verbal bash down of the extremist there. You could rule some warning is given. If the wizard has friends in low places, maybe they will offer a tip about hearing someone being mad enough to do something his way. Always nice to scratch the back of a favor returning wizard if you know what I mean.
