Assassins are fascinating, and I never realized that Assassin's Creed was based on the first true assassins in Earth's history with the Order of Assassins created by Hamdan Qarmat back in 1090 CE. From there, the legends of assassins spread throughout the world, and we have thousands of middle schoolers believing that if they just learn the sword, they'll get so many girlfriends... though that might just be me.

Disciple Assassin (CR 3) Many of the original assassins were brought in because they believed in the cause or that paradise awaited them. Disciples have gone through the training, and are beginning their careers as hired killers.

Elder Assassin (CR 13) At the top of the order of assassins are the elders, those who learned how to strike like a viper, aiming for weak spots and crippling their enemies.

Foulblade (CR 9) Wreathed in shadows, these assassins use the foul necrotic energies from the plane of shadow to kill their targets through rotting pain.

Magekiller (CR 11) These highly trained assassins are taught to resist spells and steal spell energy from spellcasters, making them easier targets.

Novice Assassin (CR 1) Just starting out, a novice may not have even gone on a job yet.

Slink (CR 5) Masters of slipping through the shadows, slinks are fast on their feet and avoid direct conflict whenever possible, jumping through the shadows and avoiding reprisal for their attacks.
