First off, 

Second, please please please say that we can use the new Masks abilities for Facemen, too. I now desire a Faceman with Sneak Attack!

First off,  . Here's a little hint: where the Faceman gets floating Style feats, the Assassin gets floating Melee Combat feats.

Second, yes, "selectable" class abilities that share the same name include all abilities found in all versions (The Brawler gains the new ploys listed with martial artist for example). We are still playtesting the masks sneak attack option, so it may change to 1 die before we go to print, but you should be ok using the 2 die version for now .

Well, it's a lot at first, but since you can't pick it multiple times, you're stuck with those two, whereas a Scout continues to collect them.

Now, an Assassin/Scout combo...that gets you a Sneak Attack headstart of one die.

The concern I see would be for pointmen, who could take that and then take the scout sneak attack die without breaking stride.
