2 daggers, one small enough to be kept concealed in the assassin's boot.
4 throwing knives (S1), which can be recovered after all monsters in the room
are dead.
Shadow Cloak, which gives a -1 modifier to any missile attacks against the assassin if he is at least two squares away from the warrior carrying the Lantern. He will never carry the Lantern. He wears no armor.
Assassinate
Assassins have years of experience and training looking for weak points
and knowing just went to strike a quick blow. When rolling to hit, consult
the following table to see if the assassin has landinged a killing blow.
If he has, the hit ignores Toughness and Armor when working out damage.

Dodge
Any time the assassin is successfully hit but before the roll to wound
is made he may attempt to dodge out of the way. Every time the Assassin is
hit and wounded, make a saving throw and consult to the following table to see
if the Assassin dodges out of the way and is unharmed. This can be used
against combat and ranged attacks, but not against spells.

Assassins may use swords, knives, daggers, throwing stars, knuckledusters,
occasionally light swords, and similar single-handed weapons. They will
not use any weapons which require two hands and will always keep at least two
knives or daggers on them at all times.
Assassins will never carry a shield and will not wear armor unless it is very
light because normal or heavy armor would impede his skills and slow him
down. Assassins will never take item or equipment that would give them a
negative modifier to their Movement or Initiative.
The Assassin will not sell his cloak unless he gets a better cloak. If he
loses his, he must attempt to get a new one.
Otherwise, the Assassin can use most items normally allowed to Barbarians (use
common sense).
Assassins may enter settlements as normal, visit all the standard locations, and visit the following special locations: Alchemist, Gambling House, Temple, Training Pit, and Alehouse (no modifiers). They may also visit the local Assassin's Guild.
Guild's serve as a base of operations for assassins. Usually well hidden, they are run by a Grand Master. It is a place for assassins to pick up useful information, receive aid, and train to go up in levels. The guild is a special location and you must roll a 7+ on 3D6 to find one in the current settlement. They are only found in cities where there will be plenty of customers and they can be close to the government.
The assassin may attempt to find some useful tidbits from the Grand Master and others in the guild. You may only roll once the entire time you are at the settlement, no matter how many times you visit the guild.
1 |
Information is scarce and the assassin learns nothing useful. |
2 |
The assassin meets an old friend at the guild who has reciently returned from a distant land having learned new techniques. The next time the Assassin rolls for a new skill the next time he trains he may reroll the result once. |
3 |
The assassin is given a map of the nearby dungeon. He may chose to lead the party on the next adventure. |
4 |
The assassin learns about some of the monsters in a nearby dungeon. Once on the next adventure when the party is ambushed, the assassin may declare these were the monsters he was warned about. The ambush automaticly fails. |
5 |
The assassin learns of a secret spot in the dungeon where a monster is hoarding treasure. At the end of the next adventure, if the highest ranking monster was killed then the assassin may roll an extra time on the Dungeon Room table. |
6 |
The assassin is given orders to assassinate a specific monster. Once during the next adventure, the assassin may declare a monster is the one he was ordered to kill. If the assassin kills that monster, he gains double gold for it. |
The assassin may visit the armory to obtain special weapons and supplies. Assassins hold their equipment in high regard and often consider it a faux pas not to have the latest weapon. Each time the assassin visits the armory, roll a D6 and on a 1-3 he must buy something. The assassin may not sell any equipment nor buy used equipment, but may sell items found on adventures as normal.
Poison Vial |
50 |
Enough poison for your darts or arrows for one adventure. Each time one wounds, roll a D6. On a 1-3, the poison has no further effect. On a 4-6, it causes an extra D3+2 wounds. |

Grappling Hook |
60 |
Must be attached to a rope to use. May be used to drag enemies closer - roll BS to hit then 1D6 + Str. Compare that to monster's strength - difference is the number of squares the monster is dragged closer to you. Other uses possible. |
