Apr 11, 2014 at 15:58 comment added KRyan @Discord I can't think of anything worse than 3.5 with a DM who doesn't understand the game and thinks removing magic or Tome of Battle is going to make things easier. This build has no magic until 11th level, so I stick by the first ten. After that... Spell-less blackgaurd maybe? With improved Sneak Attack to make up for it maybe? And level stacking for Death Attack DCs. Aura of Despair is awesome. But it's still pretty poor.
Apr 11, 2014 at 13:44 comment added KRyan @Discord I will point out that you’re aiming to take assassin starting at eleventh level with my proposed build. Your spell levels will literally be less than half what a fullcaster’s would be.
Apr 11, 2014 at 13:39 comment added KRyan @Discord You said “low-magic” so assassin struck me as very much fitting the bill. “No-magic” is very different, and basically straight-up “use a different system, you cannot fit the square peg through this particular hole no matter how hard you jam it,” and no, the assassin’s not particularly worth much without spellcasting. Death Attack is meh, Hide in Plain Sight takes too long to get, etc. I suppose if you were starting at a high enough level to start with HiPS it might be worth it, but I wouldn’t want to slog through six levels of “rogue with half the skills” for it; just use shadowdancer
Apr 11, 2014 at 13:30 comment added Discord I like it so much it's actually making me envision a different direction to take the character in. I haven't had a chance to look up all the different options you mention yet, but I like it so far. I've got to get some clarification from the DM now as well. A strict interpretation of "no spellcasting" would exclude the assassin. That's a shame, because I really want to play one now.

some clean-up
Apr 10, 2014 at 20:00 comment added KRyan @Discord I suspect this may have gotten away from your desired fluff at this point, but I'm not certain on that point. Feedback is greatly appreciated: do you like the idea, or if not what do you feel it lacks?
