...
- Add class spell book (Wizard-like, learn spells from scrolls, ability score: Intelligence) and remove the feat spells
- Clarified Uncanny Dodge 2 allows you to resist sneak attacks from enemies in the feat description (EE built in buff)
- NWN2 improvement:
- Hide in Plain Sight added at level 8
We will also make sure that the spellbook for Assassins is updated with spells either just for them or very useful for them.
Spellbook
From the source it is:
- Intelligence based
- Prepares and casts like a Wizard
- Arcane Spell Failure
- Prepared spell book
- Learns from scrolls
- No arcane spell failure
Spells list from the Steam project is pretty good, possibly too good even:, but hey they're assassins why not boost them with this. Mainly it does unlock the usage of scrolls but many of these would be potions (similar cost) anyway like Haste or Invisibility.
