Assassins come in a variety of types, none the same. Each uses tools and weapons that suit their style, and if an assassin is hired to take out an important NPC (or even a PC), here are a few you can use, detailing their favoured approach.
1 - The Black Fletch - An archer, famed for taking out her targets unseen. This assassin uses distinctive raven-feather fletchings on her arrows, and is known for her patience and timing, sometimes waiting days for the perfect shot. 2 - Smudge - This assassin operates through a number of layers, hiring townsfolk to turn up and negotiate for them, collect their reward, and so on. They tend to arrange accidents or poisonings, sometimes even using compound poisons administered in several types of dose - an otherwise harmless contact poison on a doorknob, combined with another otherwise harmless poison administered in a drink. 3 - The Deadlock - A servant of the bloody god Guthurzk, this assassin cares not at all for collateral damage, dosing up on a combination of killdrugs before rampaging in the direction of their target. They pile the decapitated skulls of their victims in a shrine to their fell god, leaving them behind for witnesses to find. 4 - Silence - A diminutive and shy man who has been cursed with a permanent Silence spell. They use this to incapacitate spellcasters before bloodily finishing them with a knife. 5 - Dusk - A halfling bearing a variety of shiny knives, Dusk operates quickly and violently. He is still learning some of the killing arts, and has been shunned by the assassins' guild for taking out the wrong target a few times. 6 - The Bridesmaid - A half-elf who operates undercover for long periods of time. She is a master of disguise and deception, taking up a position as an assistant or trusted friend before turning on their target at an opportune time.
