Dangerous Poison. As part of making an attack, the assassin can apply a dangerous poison to their weapon (included below). The assassin carries 3 doses of this poison. A single dose can coat one melee weapon or up to 5 pieces of ammunition.
Evasion. When the assassin makes a Dexterity saving throw against an effect that deals half damage on a success, they take no damage on a success and half damage on a failure.
Sneak Attack (1/Turn). The assassin deals an extra 21 (6d6) damage when they hit with a weapon attack while they have advantage on the attack, or when the assassins target is within 5 feet of an ally of the assassin while the assassin doesnt have disadvantage on the attack.
