--------------------------------------------------------------------- Skill : Assassinate Class : Ninja, Spy Cost : 5 sp / round [~75 sp] Skill Type : Active Casting Time : 15 rounds, depending on targets level Difficulty : Level 1 Stats Base : Mostly Intelligence some Strength and some Dexterity Syntax : do assassinate <target> Examples : do assassinate joe This skill requires you to study your victim for a long period of time. The average time it takes to fully learn about your target's weakness and how to make the perfect strike depends on both your own level as well as the level of your target. You meld perfectly with his shadow and you almost become one with your target. You will learn his every move and you will auto follow him even if he tries to run away. This is similar to how stalk works. Your target has no way of knowing that you are following him around and will not notice you if you have spent enough time training your skill at stalking. It costs 5sp per round to maintain the high concentration to study your foe. It will take about 15 rounds to study an equal level target, less if he is smaller and more time if the target is more experienced than you are. You can expect a successful assassinate attempt to deal somewhere in the range 200-250hp at hero level. You cannot assassinate in combat. Your assassinate attempt will end if someone engages you in combat, and your spent spell points will be lost. Assassinating a player will cause you to be aggressive from the first beat you start to study him. He can at any time attack you to stop your assassinate attempt. All of your spent spell points will be lost. You are aggressive towards him so he will not become aggressive since it counts as if he is defending himself. Odds are that he will not notice you until it is too late. The powers of the Ninja will flow through your body as the damage message echoes over the MUD. The strike is very powerful, will inflict a great deal of damage and might even instant kill your target! ---------------------------------------------------------------------
