- For the specialization in other games, see Assassin (Origins) and Assassin (Dragon Age II).
Assassin is a Rogue specialization in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Description
From "Of Granting Death: Blades and Other Means." Heir's words make one passage stand out:
You misunderstand the point of secrecy. Of course they knew that I was there—one of their number was dead. It is never the aim that they are ignorant to my purpose or presence. Death is, after all, a message, and messages are meant to be received. It is paramount that the arrival remain secret, not the result. They know what may come, but never when—until the answer is "now" and there is naught they can do but receive.
A treatise on cutting edges and other debilitating elements follows.
—From Codex entry: Way of the AssassinAny rogue can kill a target, but assassins make death into an art form. They specialize in quick, deadly kills that let them slide back into the shadows undetected, or indirect kills that eliminate targets while the assassin is safely away.
Many of the assassin's foes are helpless to act as the assassin can employ Knockout Bomb to put them to sleep before the assassin takes their lives.
