Assassin

An Assassin is nimble and quiet, and moves in darkness to strike at the unsuspecting. Locks hold no doors shut for them. Assassins are very adept at taking the lives of others, and are able to find weak points of opponents, often able to fell those much more powerful than themselves. Because of their training, assassins are typically adept at using a wide variety of weapons; however, to maintain their stealthy cloak, assassins typically stick with light armor and rarely carry shields. They also like to play football.

You can fortify your attributes and cure yourself of diseases, poison and harmful spell effects. With a good poison, however, you can Silence an enemy spellcaster and make it impossible for him/her to cast spells, thus rendering your target helpless. You can make an enemy Warrior unable to move, and you can kill enemies with deadly poisons. Alchemy is quite possibly the most powerful skill in the game.

The Assassin class is favoured by the mysterious guild the Dark Brotherhood.

You can also create your own assassin-like special class that may be more effective for your play style than the standard assassin. Assassins do not require physical strength or combat skills as much as they need high alchemy, sneak, and lockpick skills. A light and fast dagger strike against a sleeping target will end with them usually getting up, running away, then collapsing a few seconds later as nightshade or another deadly ingredient does its work.
