Epic Assassin
(Epic Level Handbook variant, p. 18)
The epic assassin flits from shadow to shadow, lying in wait until his target is vulnerable, then striking like a cobra and leaving only a cold corpse behind.
Requirements
Base Attack Bonus: +6
Skill points
4 + Int
Class Features
Sneak Attack: the epic assassin's sneak attack damage increases by +1d6 every two levels after the 9th (11th, 13th and so on).
Death Attack: The assassin counts only half his class level's beyond 10th when determining the DC to resist this attack.
Spells: the assassin's caster level is equal to his class level. The assassin's number of spells per day does not increase after 10th level. Each time the assassin achieves a new level, he learns two new spells of any spell levels that he can cast (according to his new level).
Uncanny Dodge: the assassin's uncanny dodge bonus on saves against traps doesn't increase after 10th level because it shows no pattern during the normal ten-level progression.
Saving Throw Bonus against Poison: The assassin's bonus on saves against poison increases by +1 every two levels after 10th (12th, 14th, and so on).
Bonus Feats: The epic assassin gains a bonus feat (selected from the list of epic assassin feats) every four levels after the 10th.
