Assassin builds

Starting a new thread so as not to hijack the original...

Consider Assassin/Priest or Assassin/Courtier as you look at the effectiveness of the Assassin's core ability .. A well-made Assassin/Courtier mix should scare the beejeezus out of you.

This is quite intriguing! I'm rather new to the game, and at first glace, I can see some of the synergy here, but not all of it. How would you build this out, and how would the abilities work together to scare the beejeezus out of you?

the beejeezusing is all about the Assassin's core ability. Your low BAB courtier inflicts stress and subdual damage on standard characters in combat with those awesome skills that they have and has a Soldier's BAB for dealing with special characters.

Plus they can more easily move amongst the nobility and the court. A trained Assassin mixed with a Courtier can have a very solid Prestidigitation for slipping Poison that they have created with their Crafting skill into the drinks of the normal guards and then when the chaos starts they slip a stiletto into the back of the neck of the their targeted local Lord before joining the rest of the nobles amidst the confusion.

Half Apache Chief, Half Saltheart Foamfollower. Let that one work itself out.

Also, who doesn't want to be the brute squad?
