Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The assassin is a killer for hire, a fighter whose strength comes from the element of surprise and from the complete disregard he has for the rules of 'honorable' combat. The Assassin's Handbook, second in Green Ronin's Master Class series, brings back the First Edition tradition of the assassin core class. In addition to Master Class essentials like new feats, spells, equipment, and prestige classes, the book also includes an extensive selection of new poisons and two complete assassin brotherhoods - the icy and professional Vultur and the mysterious and fanatic Sirat.

Rated by buyers -
While entertaining, this book's core class - the 20 level Assassin is not balanced. The concept of gaining a critical "kill" attack at 2nd level and every 4 levels there after is simply too powerful - Most Gms will have to find ways to work with\around that ability to tone it down. Not only that - but there are a few critical typos - the Maximize Poison and Empower poison feats read Exactly the same - and I am sure the authors intended these to work similarly to the mage version - but gave no reason Why they should work that way - what about an Assassin allows him to make a poison any stronger than he normally would - let alone what the feats do?
Personally, I wanted more rationalizing, more depth and more useful tools. If you are a new gamer looking to play an Assassin this might be the book for you - but personally, I think you need to wait on a more balanced and complete book, or even a good chapter in another book, on Assassin's before spending your money on this. In reality out of it's like 66 pages - only 20ish of them are useful, the rest is fluff.
