<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Age/Assassin ranking in Assasinorium"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/31.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Age/Assassin ranking in Assasinorium I have a question, so I am gming a Dark Heresy campaign and one of the players, (new to the setting) wants to play an assassin. How old would a vindicare assassin be in the assassinorium if he was at about 500 xp? Would that qualify as a vindicare? I don't do a whole lot with the inquisition so I wanted to know what you guys thought.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/631860/7517452.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/631860/7517452.page GMT Re:Age/Assassin ranking in Assasinorium
Assassins belong to a specific temple. They do not have ranks.

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Officio_Assassinorum

The Officio recruits young people from the Schola Progenium and they are trained to be which ever type of assassin they have aptitude for. They then remain as that type till they die in the line of duty.

Assassins are really no longer human. They are living weapons. Implants and genetic modification making them perfect at their specific task. Vindicare are peerless Snipers, Calladus are expert infiltrators able to impersonate any individual, Eversors are berserk killing machines, Culexus can only be made out of humans with the Pariah gene that makes them vicious anti-psykers, etc...

Assassins are tools used by various Imperial organizations and individuals. They're not like a Ninja clan or anything.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/631860/7517480.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/631860/7517480.page GMT Age/Assassin ranking in Assasinorium
The assassin specialization in Dark Heresy is not a temple assassin. It's a normal human hitman, of which there might be millions across the galaxy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/631860/7518244.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/631860/7518244.page GMT Age/Assassin ranking in Assasinorium http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/631860/7518415.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/631860/7518415.page GMT Age/Assassin ranking in Assasinorium
As far as the regular core-class Assassin? Shoot, they could be Matilda from Leon, The Professional for all I care.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/631860/7519761.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/631860/7519761.page GMT Re:Age/Assassin ranking in Assasinorium

This isn't completely true. While they are modified to be perfect at their job, they aren't simply tools or weapons. They still have a very human personality and uniqueness that makes them individuals. The various Assassins in Nemesis had a ton of character, and were all capable of understanding and dealing with emotions and stimuli outside of the strictures of their job. The most blatant example is Eristede Kell's relationship with his sister. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/631860/7520031.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/631860/7520031.page GMT
