Assassins cannot cast magic spells (they can use magic items!)
Upon reaching level 4, Assassins can decide to change to the Warrior Class without penalty. As long as they have not played the character as a level 4 Assassin. Their character card will be changed to the Warrior class.
Assassins level 1 – 3
Can wear any armour for levels 1 – 3 (Fur, Leather, leather with metal, Chain Mail, Plate or Scale Mail, Plate / Scale Mail with Chain Mail)
Can use all types of weapons (Sharp and Blunt)
Small Weapons (under 18 inches) do 1 point of damage
1 Handed Weapons (Up to 42 inches does 1 point - even if held in 2 hands!)
2 Handed Weapons (43” and more do 2 points but must be held in 2 hands or the hit does not count.)
Can use shields (or bucklers strapped to arms / held in hands) A shield will not protect someone if it is not used as it was designed. A shield slung over your back somehow seems not to stop blows even though a weapon hits your shield, it seemed to go through like magic or crushes your back and still causes a hit!
Can use bows / throwing weapons / crossbows (subject to passing a safety test beforehand by a ref)
Assassins level 4 - 7
From level 4 the Assassin is starting to hone their Assassin skills and in order to aid themselves they need to look the part and be all sneaky and assassiny. So out goes the metal armour (most of it anyway) in favour of the silent ninja stuff, now no Assassin would be seen alive with an axe or a sword, so daggers are the in word in Assassin fashion and a shield, well that is so last dynasty that they would never use one of those. The word on the street about balaclavas is still out as no one can work out if it is a good idea or just makes your face all itchy! The use of dubbing yourself badly is a level 4 assassin skill only, by the time you reach level 5 you don't need to do this anymore!!
