Playstyle

Overall

Assassins will be required to develop skills such as stealth, brawling, and sorcery in order to advance in their guild. They should take shelter in the shadows and show a certain humility in their work, in that bragging and drawing attention to oneself is counterproductive in an assassin's line of work.

Assassins are expected to be cold and professional, not letting personal feelings interfere with their jobs.

Combat

Assassins are adept in hand-to-hand combat and are good at exploiting an opponent's weak points, particularly from stealth. They should expect to be able to fight out in the open if their initial attack doesn't down their target, however.
