New "Assassin Class" and a possible new playstyle idea ;)

[Huscarlton Banks]

This would require a lot of rebalancing, Pikeman/Heavy Infantry already has 10 athletics (The maximum without WSE), but still gets chased down rather easily by late hard mode enemies.

I dont think so mate, maybe only need to rebalance this assassin class, not others. The hardcoded maximum skill limit is 15, i made myself a "native+" mod (with diplomacy, my own items, new armors, samurai stuff, some gameplay tweaks etc.) and i already raised most of the skill limits to 15 with TweakMB. Its working like a charm, no need for WSE.

Yup, nords run like hell with all those shields, axes and heavy armors... Its because of their agility stat i think. Maybe another suggestion can be rebalancing the assassin class' str-agi distribution, something along the lines like 15str to 45agi .

maybe you can get invisible for 1 minute to get to the boss and assasinate them!

Jalau, I don't think that was Ryu's intent with this class suggestion. The name is a tad misleading, as the point of the class does not appear to be to actually assassinate anyone. Rather, the goal is to have a class that can lure the main body of bots away from the player force so that a desirable combat situation (equal or greater number of players to bots) can be created.

Change the name of the class into "scout" or something similar.

Sphinx = Evil

Change the name of the class into "scout" or something similar.

This seems very appropriate.

It sounds too similar to "skirmisher". Also that last minute dissapearing skill i mentioned is more fitting to an "assassin", but yeah the class name  suggestion is a bit misleading.

[Yabu]

Maybe one idea would be to make the skirmisher class able to skirmish?

[Barristan]

A bit too much overlap with the skirmisher class. I like the brainstorming but its a bit much of an overlap. We are however open to new class ideas and suggestions about how to broaden player options.
