Since I'm a chargen junkie, I've decided I want to create an ''assassin'' archetype character. Y'know, all that stealth and lethality goodness.
But I was thinking, a straight-up assassin in the conventional RPG sense would really only be good at two things... infiltration and.. well, killing. I can imagine several runs where an assassin would be less than useful unless things started going south and lethality became a requirement to completing the objective (or survival). So I was wondering.. what would be a good way to create an ''assassin'' type character, still capable of all his mysterious, death-bringing goodness, but have him be a little bit more versatile? I thought maybe Hacking could work, or maybe a Mystic Adept with support-type spells? Personally, I'm quite clueless on the matter, or rather.. I don't know what to start with. I need a concept, and then an efficient way to make real that concept. Any thoughts? Sorry if my Search-Fu was weak. |
