Assassinate

Cost: 15 Character Points

You are at your deadliest when you get the drop on your enemies.

Any creature that hasn’t yet taken a turn in the combat is flat-footed towards you.

You may coup de grace creatures to which you are undetected, provided that you hit the creature with a melee or ranged attack roll.

Infiltration Expertise

Cost: 30 Character Points
Prerequisite: Assassinate and 70 CP spent in Rogue talents

You can unfailingly create false identities for yourself. You must spend seven days and 25 gp to establish the history, profession, and affiliations for an identity. You can’t establish an identity that belongs to someone else. For example, you might acquire appropriate clothing, letters of introduction, and official-looking certification to establish yourself as a member of a trading house from a remote city so you can insinuate yourself into the company of other wealthy merchants.

Thereafter, if you adopt the new identity as a disguise, other creatures believe you to be that person until given an obvious reason not to.

Impostor

Cost: 50 Character Points
Prerequisite: Infiltration Expertise and 125 CP spent in Rogue talents

You gain the ability to unerringly mimic another person’s speech, writing, and behavior. You must spend at least three hours studying these three components of the person’s behavior, listening to speech, examining handwriting, and observing mannerisms.

Your ruse is indiscernible to the casual observer. If a wary creature suspects that something is amiss, you have +1d on any deception check that you make to avoid detection.

Death Strike

Cost: 80 Character Points
Prerequisite: Imposter and 225 CP spent in Rogue talents

You become a master of instant death.

You may coup de grace as a single action.
