==Gameplay Notes==
*Changing into a form disables spellcasting and applies a 100% spell failure.
*Spell focus feats listed in polymoph rules do not apply granting no AC increase.
*Hideous Blow does work when shapechanged, but only if it is applied before changing shape.
*Items merge by standard polymorph rules, AC is disabled the same, see: [[Polymorphing]]
*[[Ability Focus - Invocations]] gives +1 AC and +1 AB when changed.
*The [[Warlock]] cannot use combat feats such as [[Knockdown]], [[Improved_knockdown|Improved Knockdown]], and [[Whirlwind Attack]]. Mode activated from the modal bar ([[Hide]], [[Power_attack|Power Attack]], [[Flurry_of_blows|Flurry of Blows]], etc.) are still available, but NOT if used from the quick-slot bars (can only be used from the modal bar).
*Note that the Warlock retains her mental stats ([[Intelligence|Int]], [[Wis]], and [[Cha]]) while shifted into this form. However, all racial modifiers, abilities and penalties are disabled.
*The Warlock is considered an Outsider while shifted, thus some spells will not work on her. Some enhancement spells must be cast before shifting (e.g.:[[Enlarge Person]]) and others from other party members (e.g.:[[Jagged Tooth]]).

Fey Power

{{FeatInfo|type=Heritage
|Prereq=[[Fey Heritage]], Non [[Lawful]] Alignment
|Req=None
|Specifics=Your fey heritage augments the power of certain types of magic. Your caster level and save DCs for [[enchantment|Enchantment]] spells increase by 1. Fey Power will increase your HD by 1 for determining Eldritch Blast Progression. This does not count towards feat prerequisites.
|Use=Automatic
}}
[[Category:Heritage Feats]]

Notes:
This feat is worded ambiguously, so it could be interpreted as "Enchantment spells and all Warlock Invocations" or "Enchantment spells and Enchantment Warlock Invocations". The latter interpretation appears to be the correct one, although probably not according to PnP rules; this feat only affects the DC of Invocations with an Enchantment effect (such as Charm). In the base game Charm is the only such Invocation.
There appears to be inconsistent results about which invocations actually benefit from this feat...

Assassin

2021-06-17T13:44:25Z

77.181.73.144:

==Description==
The Assassin (or Avenger) is the master of dealing quick, lethal blows. Assassins often function as spies, informants, killers for hire, or agents of vengeance. Their training in anatomy, stealth, poison, and the dark arts allows them to carry out missions of death with shocking, terrifying precision. Most [[rogue|Rogues]], [[monk|Monks]], and [[bard|Bards]] who choose this class become examples of the classic assassin skulking in the shadows with a blade carrying certain death. [[Fighter|Fighters]], ex-[[paladin|Paladins]], [[ranger|Rangers]], [[druid|Druids]], and [[barbarian|Barbarians]] operate as warrior-assassins, with as much ability to kill in combat as from the shadows. [[Sorcerer|Sorcerers]], [[wizard|Wizards]], and [[cleric|Clerics]] may be the most terrifying assassins of all, for with their spells they can infiltrate and slay with even greater impunity.

==Requirements==

'''[[Skill]]s''': [[Hide]] 8 ranks, [[Move Silently]] 8 ranks

===Death Attack===
At 1st level, the Assassin can make a special sneak attack called a Death Attack. This ability adds to the Rogue's [[Sneak Attack]] ability, adding an extra 1d6 points of damage, if you already have levels of Rogue. This bonus rises to +2d6 at 3rd level, +3d6 at 5th level, +4d6 at 7th level, and +5d6 at 9th level. If used against an opponent not already in combat, a successful death attack forces the victim to make a [[fortitude]] [[Saving throw|Save]] or become paralyzed.

The DC for a target to become paralyzed is equal to; Base 10 + Assassin Level + Intelligence bonus modifier. A level 20 character with 10 Assassin levels and a Intelligence score of 16 for a bonus of +3 will have DC of 10 (Base) + 10 (Levels) + 3 (bonus) for 23. Opponent must be out of combat.

If the character has [[Epic Precision]], death attack will do full damage but will not paralyze the target if it is immune to critical hits.

===Use Poison===
The character is trained in the use of poison and is never at risk of poisoning himself when applying poison to a weapon.

===Poison Resistance===
The assassin's expertise with deadly toxins gives him an unnatural resistance to poisons of all types. The assassin gains a +1 bonus on Fortitude saves against poison at 2nd level. This bonus increases to +2 at 4th level, +3 at 6th level, +4 at 8th level, and +5 at 10th level.

===Uncanny Dodge===
At 2nd level, the Assassin retains their [[dexterity]] bonus to [[Armor|AC]] even when caught [[flat-foot|flat-footed]].

===Improved Uncanny Dodge===
At 5th level, the Assassin can no longer be sneak attacked except by a character with 4 or more total levels in classes that grant sneak attack than the [[Character progression|character levels]] of the Assassin.

===Hide in Plain Sight===
At 8th level, the Assassin may enter stealth mode even while being observed.

===Spells===
At 2nd level, the Assassin gains a spellbook, spells require a base Intelligence score of 10+spell level to be cast and can be picked in that [[Assassin Spells|list]].

***NOTE ON ASSASSIN CASTER LEVELS: Caster level calculation for Assassin is: Assassin levels + (non-Assassin levels/2) = Caster Level. So a level 30 character with 8 or 9 Assassin levels will have CL19 while a level 30 PC with 10 Assassin levels will have CL20. Dragonslayer counts up to 6 of its levels as assassin levels, as per its optional assassin spell progression. For example a 10 rogue 10 assassin 10 Dragonslayer would have CL23.
