Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +3, Assassin Training, Stealth 6 ranks.
Benefits: You gain a +1 competence bonus to all Stealth skill checks. In addition, you gain the following tactical options:
Fading Dodge: When you are attacked with a melee weapon, as an immediate action you may make an attack roll against your opponent’s attack roll; if successful then the damage dealt to you is reduced by half (minimum of 1 point of damage). This ability is applicable to ability damaging attacks, but not against level draining effects. After using this option you cannot use it again for 2 rounds.
Fangs of the Asp: As a standard action, make an attack roll with any of the following weapons: dagger, shortsword, shuriken, sai, or kusari gama. If successful, the attack inflicts an additional 1d6 points of damage and 2 points of Strength damage (Fortitude save DC equal to 12 + your Wisdom modifier to halve this Strength damage). On the following round on a failed save, the opponent suffers an additional 1d6 points of damage and 2 additional points of Strength damage. After using this option you cannot use it again for 2 rounds.
