📋 About This Mod

Assassin looks quite underwhelmed when compare to Thief. That's why I create this mod.

This mod is originally created to support my another mod Shadow Ninja - a complete rework of Monk (Way of the Shadow) to create a Shadow Monk/Assassin multiclass (I used 20 level mod though).

Things are not completely tested, reports and comments are welcome~

As some of you required, I have move the change of level 3 passive to level 4 to compatible better with other Rogues Mod (e.g. Stronger Rogue)

Assassinate: Ambush is returned to its original features, while a new passive Assassinate: Opportunity is added.

Progression

Level 4

- NEW! Assassinate: Opportunity: Reduced number to Crit by 5 if target is Stunned, by 3 if target is Dazed, Blinded or Prone, by 1 if target is Bleeding or Poisoned.

- NEW! Lightning Reflexes: Increase Reaction Point by 1 each turn.

Level 5
