Contents
Assassin is one of several possible subclasses you can undertake as an opportunist.
Your subclass enacts features at 3rd level and every three levels thereafter: 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, and 18th. See Opportunist#Assassin for an integrated list that combines assassin features with those of the base opportunist class.
Assassinate
Starting from 3rd level, you have advantage on any attack roll against a creature that has yet to act in combat.
Tools of the Trade
At 3rd level, you gain proficiency in your choice of the disguise kit, the forgery kit, or the poisoner's kit. If you are already proficient with all three, you can either regain 2 proficiency points or gain proficiency in any other professional tool of your choice.
Killing Instinct
Starting from 6th level, you add your proficiency bonus to your initiative if you don't already.
Infiltration
Starting at 6th level, you become a master of getting where you aren't meant to be. You gain the following benefits:
- You have advantage on any Charisma check made to convince a creature you are someone other than who you are, or have credentials you do not.
- Your speed isn't reduced from climbing.
- At the start of combat, if you aren't surprised you can use your reaction to either take the Hide action or draw a weapon. You take this reaction before any creature takes its turn.
9th

Sweep
At 12th level, you learn to get the drop on foes even in the heat of battle. You can use your cunning action to trip an adjacent creature. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against a DC equaling 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier or fall prone. A Large or larger creature has advantage on this saving throw. A Medium or smaller creature which has yet to act in combat has disadvantage.
15th

Sudden Death
Few can slay as swiftly as you. Starting from 18th level, if you hit a creature that has yet to act in combat with a Sneakstrike, it must make a Constitution saving throw equaling 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier. On a failed save, the creature is vulnerable to the damage of your attack.
