Hello all,
I used to create Assassin's NPC as a basic class leading the character from level 1 to level 20.
I don't recall where I found those rules (Kobold Press, Paizo, Dragon Mag, other Mag, who knows). I only have some notes about the fact that the character gains abilities name "stalker", "contract", "reputation" (at level one this one I think), in addition of the traditional sneak attack and others.
Help, anyone ?
It could even be a class with an alternate name, not "assassin, maybe from Pathfinder. Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance for helping me, I'm running my scenario on Sunday !

There is a PrC Assassin, why is that not good enough for you?
Anyway you should be able to use the Requirements to take the Assassin path as a 20 level class instead. There again you are talking about an NPC.
Just do maybe 5 rogue levels with maybe allowing poison use sooner, delaying some other ability a few levels. For the last 5 levels maybe a few more spells.

| There have been a lot of variations on the paid killer theme... Do you recall any other details about the version you're seeking? |

Sorry about the delay, my players did not encounter the assassin last week (lucky for me)
I have very little certain information because I've translated the character class I once found in french. So if I'm trying to re-translate in english I could say that the class as an ability called "deadly attack" > after 3 rounds looking at a being, the assassin can try an attack that can kill the victim or if a Fortitude check is failed. If the check is a success, the victim is paralysed for 1d6+6 rounds.
There was something like "Improved ambush" : the Intelligence modifier is added to the attack and damage cheks if the adversary is taken by surprise.
Does that remind something to someone ?
Thanks for helping |

| I don't have my books on me but this "deadly attack" sounds like the death attack the Assasin PrC has. 3 rounds of studying the victim before a death attack which if a fort save is failed, death or paralysis occurs and if passed then its a standard sneak attack as per the rogue ability. |

| Freeport Companion (Pathfinder Edition) has the Assassin class you're looking for. It has the ambush, improved ambush, and death attack you listed, along with other abilities. |
