Hi all,
I was wondering if anywhere could be found an official answer and/or what it is your opinion about the Assassinate ninja master
trick/slayer talent:
a) The "deadly" special feature (i.e., for katana and wakizashi) would also apply to the DC for this talent/master trick?
b) How this ninja trick/slayer talent relates to the death attack of the assassin? Are they related? The few magic items that work with the death attack of the assassin work with this too?
c) Eventually would be possible/reasonable to create a magic item that does the same functions of the Headsman’s Blade from Advanced Class Guide to use it for the ninja trick?
I am asking because while this trick/talent is more effective than the assassin class feature, it seems a bit like the "poor relative" under the point of view of the equipment & magic item "support"...
Thanks,
Skarm
(a) No. "Deadly" only applies to a coup de grace, not to any save-or-die weapon attack.
(b) They are unrelated abilities that happen to have similar functionalities. Magic items that specify one will not help the other.
(c) Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
