Just Starting...again..

[Rimmer]

Hello new forums

Just picked this game up again after..well.a very long time. and like what i see, just wanted to hear of others experiance with the new format Assassin, who always used to be a problem, also the optional rules in the Issue 1 of Ordo Draconis regarding Knights and Barbarians.

Thanks in advance.

I had a quick look through my old books and compared the Assassin with the new addition. Couldn't see much different expect the Stealth skill, though they seem pretty tough compared to other classes merely as a result of the number of skills and techniques they have access too.

To be fair though Assassins should be extremely rare compared to Knights and Barbarians, even Wizards so a good GM can disallow a player access to one if necessary.

I haven't read OD, any good? Though I am reticent to alter classes which seem well balanced to begin with.

The new Assassin has the same skills etc as before, but has a time line on when he can get them rather than all at once as before, I was wondering if anyone has found that this solves the balance problem with the Assassin.

Also the Ordo Draconis article suggests having the Knights "Skill of the Mighty" start at rank 2, not 8. I was thinking more along the lines of 1 selection at rank2 , another rank 4 and then 8 onwards.
