Assassin
Kill before they know you are there.
The fight ends before it begins when you strike from shadow to remove high-value targets. You operate in the spaces between heartbeats, using guile and forbidden study to sabotage positions and slip away unseen. It is a game of tension and perfect timing. Perfect for players who find satisfaction in the clean, silent kill.
