AD&D - The Assassin: Too Evil for your table?

from The Evil Dungeon Master Universe · host The Evil Dungeon Master

Cold. Calculated. Lawful Evil. The AD&D Assassin is a class built around stealth, disguise, and sanctioned murder. So why did most DMs quietly ignore it? In this episode, I take a look at what the Assassin was supposed to be, how the mechanics actually worked, and why it never found a comfortable place in most groups. Was it too evil? Too specific? Or just ahead of its time?#adnd #tsr #gygaxhttps://patreon.com/theEvilDMhttps://solo.to/TheEvilDM
