ASSASSINATION

This dark skill involves the knowledge of how to dispatch a foe quickly, by using attack methods that quickly cut the life out of your foe. In order to successfully assassinate, your character must wield a weapon and surprise your foe (you cannot attempt an assassination once combat has begun).

Assassination can be attempted with any type of weapon, however if you use a blunt or sharp weapon it will not be as effective without the sneak attack skill.

If you fail the assassination, you will either do no damage, get the equivalent of one attack, or get a full backstab.
