The assassin is a killer for hire, a fighter whose strength comes from the element of surprise and from the complete disregard he has for the rules of ''honorable'' combat. The Assassin's Handbook, second in Green Ronin's Master Class series, brings back the First Edition tradition of the assassin core class. In addition to Master Class essentials like new feats, spells, equipment, and prestige classes, the book also includes an extensive selection of new poisons and two complete assassin brotherhoods--the icy and professional Vultur and the mysterious and fanatic Sirat. Written by Assassin Mountain author Wolfgang Baur and Planescape creator David ''Zeb'' Cook, The Assassin's Handbook adds a whole new dimension to d20 fantasy.
