Best Assassin Spells?
« on: March 16, 2010, 09:32:16 PM »
What are the best assassin spells?  I'm a death attack assassin focused build so anything that helps me not be seen is good or provides me with damage.
First off, the Joker is a smooth operator. He is very good at convincing people of things, twisting them to further his goals. This is the guy who turned Harvy Dent into Two Face with a simple Bluff check and ten minutes of RP.

Obviously Invisibility.

There are numerous spells in Spell Compendium that help make a Death Attack easier.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Why would you even do this? It hurts my eyes and looks like you ate your keyboard before suffering an attack of explosive diarrhea.

If using Genesis to hide your phylactry, set it at -300 degrees farenheit.  See how do-gooders fare with a liquid atmosphere.

This actually gave me a pretty good idea.  Changeling as a race means you can study your target while chatting with him.  Then, when you decide it's time for him to die, you gank him and use any number of methods to get out of there.  Be sure to use a poisoned dagger (Con damage) to increase your chance of success.

Modify Memory - Seriously, the uses for this spell are nigh endless.  Witness just saw you murder his cohort?  Make a will save.  You don't remember anything and, actually, I'm the local tax man collecting payment.  Want some quick cash?  Go sell an expensive item, Will save, "you still owe me for this," bam double payment.

Seriously, best.spell.ever.

This is EXACTLY why I think it's the best social spell in the game.

It's also a one-or-two-point cost in World of Darkness.  Screwing with people Twilight-Zone style is totally fun.
