Assassin Sage Abilities

Below can be found a list of the knowledge fields and studies available to the Assassin Class. Starting at 1st level, the assassin gains one field, and one study within that field. There are four fields:

Animal Training: the act of teaching animals specific responses to specific conditions or stimuli. Training may be for the purposes of companionship, work, detection, protection, entertainment and more.

Grace: the achievement of elegance and refinement in personal attitude and skill, enabling action in a smooth, relaxed manner amidst the obstacles offered by the forces of law and authority.

Each field has a set number of studies that have links leading to a deeper description of each.

Starting at 1st level, assassins gain one field and one study within that field. This reflects the knowledge that the assassin has been able to gather while studying their calling. This knowledge is then expanded as the assassin increases in level, for it is presumed that the assassin is naturally inquisitive, exchanging techniques with others, tending to their weapons, physically improving their bodies at every opportunity, growing more adept and able with respect to principles of war, managing animals, murder, criminality and so on.

This is true even if the player never expresses their intention to gather knowledge, as not every moment of 'downtime' is actively accounted for during play.

Take note that all assassins possess assassination to some degree, even if they haven't the knowledge points to be rated as amateurs. See Murder, below, for details.
