Assassination(Prof. Group:Thief / #of Slots:4) -

This Proficiency gives the character a chance to instantly kill a target when attacking them by suprise and from behind (as per the thief's backstab). When taking this Proficiency the character must specify what race they have been trained to Assassinate (ie: Human, Elf, Orog, etc.). It is possible for the character to be Proficient against multiple Races. If the character can meet the requirements for theAssassination attempt (valid race and thief backstab restrictions), any successful hit gives the character a 3% chance per level to instantly kill thier target.

For example a 5th Level Thief gets a 15% chance to score a fatal hit against an appropriate target. A character can place additional Proficiency Slots toward an already existing Assassination skill and increase thier chance per level by 1% per Prof. Slot. For example if the above 5th Level Thief has placed 2 additional Slots to his assassination ability he has a 5% chance per Level(or 25% chance) of killing his chosen Race, when "Backstabbing" them. If it is a Thief who is using this skill they still get thier Backstabbing multiplierto thier damage, if they hit thier target but fail in thier Assassination attempt. It should be noted that learning and using this Proficiency are Evil acts. And even finding someone to train a character in this Proficiency should be a difficult task.
