== Cosplayer ==

There are tales of great warriors who can split mountains in half with a single swing; of archmages who can part the sea with a wave of their hand; of master burglars who can enter the most secure vault and steal their treasures; and of mystics who can stop death itself from ever touching one close to them. The cosplayer, however, is none of these. Rather, the humble cosplayer grew up on stories of heroes, and in affection for their lauded role models, adopted some of their accouterments in order to make believe that they too can create miracles that mortals only dream of. Yet belief is a funny thing in the multiverse, and by imitating various people from legend, the cosplayer gains some small measure of their power.

'''Races:''' Assassins can be of any races, however, smaller, dominated races tend to produce more assassins. Humans also tend to produce some of the finest assassins. Most races with a minimum amount of honor tend to frown upon and shun assassins, but many other races or vile beings actually welcome a friendly assassin as a very effective tool, no matter the race or gender. All cultures have their own form of assassins, from [[SRD:Orc|orcs]] with throwing axes or [[SRD:Human|human]] armed with a crossbow.-->

====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the Cosplayer.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Cosplayers are proficient with all [[SRD:Simple Weapon Proficiency|simple weapons]], but not with any armor or shield.

'''{{Anchor|Cosplay}}:''' As a cosplayer, you have a number of costumes available to you at any one time; each of these have their own advantages and abilities, some of which are chosen upon first putting on the costume. Costumes can be changed after resting for six hours, or using one of the Costume Change (see below). Upon changing a costume, anyone within sight range can make a Spot check opposed by the cosplayer Bluff check to notice that something suspicious is going on, and discern that the cosplayer is changing roles, along with what costume they are donning and a vague understanding of what the costume can do.

The following costumes are available to the Cosplayer:
*Healer
*Magician
*Psychic
*Soldier*
*Thief

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Unlike the other costumes, the soldier has maneuvers which must be decided on immediately upon taking each a new level of the cosplayer class.

Upon putting on a costume, the Cosplayer gains all the abilities listed below under [[#Costumes|Costumes]]. Your effective costume level for the purpose of your costumes is equal to your cosplayer HD, removing one for every three levels you possess in the class. Thus, a level 7 cosplayer would have a costume level of 5. For the purpose of abilities that work off of your HD, your HD for costume abilities is equal to your costume level + levels in any non-cosplayer class. Thus, a level 10 costplayer with the Magician costume would gain no benefits from Practiced Caster (CA), but a Cosplayer 10 / Fighter 4 certainly would. When the cosplayer removes or changes costumes, they lose all abilities granted by a costume that they aren't wearing anymore, and cannot gain the benefits of a single costume more than once.

'''{{Anchor|Disguise Path}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' You create the most extraordinary costumes, fooling even those with a keen eye. At first level, you gain a +10 bonus to Bluff and Disguise checks to fool others as to your actual class and abilities, causing them to believe that your only abilities are in fact those of the costume you have chosen.

For example, if your current costume is Magician, you gain the bonus to make them believe you are actually a wizard or sorcerer, while if your current costume is that of the Soldier, they may believe that you are simply a fighter, swashbuckler, or other mundane weapon-user. On the other hand, if you are using both the Magician and Soldier costumes (as per Meld Costume), they may believe that you are a bladesinger, duskblade, or multiclassed wizard-fighter.

'''{{Anchor|Costume Change}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' As you become practiced with your costumes, you slowly gain a greater understanding of how to quickly switch costumes, at one moment appearing to be one thing and minutes later having completely different abilities. At second level, you may change your current costume by taking one minute to change, though this has all the stipulations of Cosplay if someone sees you. If you have more than one costume, you may only change one of your costumes. You can use this ability only once per day, gaining an additional use at level ten, and another at level 18.

Note that any daily abilities that you use do not come back unless you rest for eight hours, even if you switch out a costume and switch it back in later.

'''{{Anchor|Mimic Ability}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' As your form and practice become more perfected, you pick up small tricks and abilities of other classes, allowing you to more effectively become the role you pretend to enact. At third level, once per day you may choose any of the following abilities as an immediate action and gain its effects for one round:

*You gain damage reduction 5/--. If you are level 11 or higher, this improves to damage reduction 10/--.
*You gain immunity to fear, and add your Charisma modifier to the next attack roll and your Cosplayer level to the next damage roll you make while this ability is active. If you are 11th level or higher, any ally who can see you gains a +4 bonus to Will saves against fear effects.
*You gain the Improved Unarmed Strike feat and deal unarmed damage as a monk of your costume level, and the next unarmed attack you make during the duration of this ability has a chance to stun your target (as per Stunning Blow).
*You gain the Bardic Knowledge ability as a bard of your costume level.
*You gain the Evasion ability. If you are level 11 or higher, you also gain Improved Evasion.
*You gain the Mettle of Fortitude ability. If you are level 11 or higher, you also gain Improved Mettle of Fortitude.
*You gain the Mettle of Will ability. If you are level 11 or higher, you also gain Improved Mettle of Will.
*You gain the Track feat and the Endurance feat. If you are level 11 or higher, you also gain the Swift Tracker ability. This lasts for one hour (rather than one round).
*You gain the Uncanny Dodge ability. If you are level 11 or higher, you also gain the Improved Uncanny Dodge ability.
*You gain the Wild Empathy and Trackless Step abilities. If you are level 11 or higher, you also gain the Woodland Stride ability. This lasts for one minute (rather than one round).

At every other level after third, you gain another use of this ability.

'''{{Anchor|Floating Feat}}:''' In order to model your costumes well, sometimes you need to pick up an extra trick or two. At levels four and twelve, you get a bonus feat. However, unlike normal feats, this feat may not be used as a prerequisite for any class, feat, or ability, and you may change them to any other feat after resting for six hours. You must qualify for the feats chosen, and cannot choose an Item Creation feat for any of your floating feats.

'''{{Anchor|Quick Change}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' Your mastery of changing costumes is so deeply ingrained that you can switch them at a moment's notice. At level eight, you may take a full round action once per day to switch your costume around as per Costume Change, though there is no chance that anyone will notice your costume change.

'''{{Anchor|Meld Costume}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' You slowly become more adept at switching costumes, gaining the ability to combine various costumes into a smorgasbord of different colors and abilities. At eleventh level, you may have two costumes active at any time.

'''{{Anchor|Rapid Change}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' The way that you change change costumes is simply not to be believed; at level 20, you can use Costume Change at will, though this only takes a single minute.

'''{{Anchor|Ultimate Costume}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' You reach the pinnacle of the cosplayer, combining your costumes into their ultimate form; at level 20, you can have three costumes active at any one time.

'''Advancement:''' If you take levels in a class that would increase your spellcasting or psionic manifesting in this class, count every increase as though you gained a level of Cosplayer for the purpose of the abilities gained from your costumes, your costume level, and nothing else.

'''Prerequisites:''' Since D&D 3.5 doesn't explicitly say about qualifications for feats and prestige classes, this is the simplest explanation that the system hints at:<br>
If at any time you were able to qualify for a feat, prestige class or other ability, you are able to take it. However, unless you fulfill the prerequisites of the ability without taking the ability itself (or anything that uses the ability as a prerequisite) into account, the feat or class is unusable and gives no benefits to the character. The only exception is for prestige classes, and the only benefits you get from those when you do not fulfill the prerequisite are the HD, skills, and base attack bonus derived from the class. That said, if you ever do not fulfill the requirement for a feat or prestige class, its benefits apart from HD, skills, and BAB immediately disappear and are unusable until you once more fulfill that ability's prerequisites.

<!--
You begin your career with knowledge of three martial maneuvers. The disciplines available to you are [http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76218 Dread Crown], [[Eternal_Glacier_(3.5e_Martial_Discipline)|Eternal Glacier]], [[Hero%27s_Edge_(3.5e_Martial_Discipline)|Hero's Edge]], and Stone Dragon.

Once you know a maneuver, you must ready it before you can use it (see Maneuvers Readied, below). A maneuver usable by a reaper is considered an extraordinary ability unless otherwise noted in its description. Your maneuvers are not affected by spell resistance, and you do not provoke attacks of opportunity when you initiate one.

You learn additional maneuvers at higher levels. You must meet a maneuver's prerequisite to learn it.

Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even-numbered reaper level after that (6th, 8th, 10th, and so on), you can choose to learn a new maneuver in place of one you already know. In effect, you lose the old maneuver in exchange for the new one. You can choose a new maneuver of any level you like, as long as you observe your restriction on the highest-level maneuvers you know; you need not replace the old maneuver with a maneuver of the same level. For example, upon reaching 10th level, you could trade in a single 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd- or 4th-level maneuver for a maneuver of 5th level or lower, as long as you meet the prerequisite of the new maneuver. You can swap only a single maneuver at any given level.

'''Maneuvers Readied:''' You can ready all three of the maneuvers you know at 1st level, but as you advance in level and learn more maneuvers, you must choose which maneuvers to ready. You ready your maneuvers by exercising for 5 minutes. The maneuvers you choose remain readied until you decide to exercise again and change them. You need not sleep or rest for any long period of time to ready your maneuvers; any time you spend 5 minutes in practice, you can change your readied maneuvers.

You begin an encounter with all your readied maneuvers unexpended, regardless of how many times you might have already used them since you chose them. When you initiate a maneuver, you expend it for the current encounter, so each of your readied maneuvers can be used once per encounter (until you recover them, as described below).

You can recover all expended maneuvers with a Full round action. You cannot initiate a maneuver or change your stance while you are recovering your expended maneuvers, but you can remain in a stance in which you began your turn.

'''Stances Known:''' You begin play with knowledge of one 1st-level stance from any discipline open to warblades. At 4th, 10th, and 16th level, you can choose additional stances. Unlike maneuvers, stances are not expended, and you do not have to ready them. All the stances you know are available to you at all times, and you can change the stance you are currently using as a swift action. A stance is an extraordinary ability unless otherwise stated in the stance description.

Unlike with maneuvers, you cannot learn a new stance at higher levels in place of one you already know.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Reapers are proficient with all martial and simple weapons, as well as with light and medium armors and bucklers, light, and heavy shields.

'''{{Anchor|Bound Scythe}}:''' The reaper binds a single scythe to their call. That scythe becomes tied to their very soul, becoming a conduit for their purpose and their weapon of destruction. The reaper adds the scythe's HP to his own, and they share this pool of HP. If brought to 0, the scythe is broken and the reaper dies. The scythe cannot be broken with a single Strength check, and instead must be sundered to destroy it. The reaper may enchant the scythe normally, though it doesn't gain additional HP (10, regardless of the scythe's material), only hardness. Finally, as a supernatural action, the reaper may call the scythe to his hand with a move action as long as he and the scythe are on the same plane.

By meditating for 8 hours and expending 100 xp per class level, the reaper may bind himself to a different scythe, breaking all ties with his former weapon.

'''{{Anchor|Undead Affinity}}:''' By their very nature, reapers stand betwixt the veil of death and undeath. Mindless undead see them as though they were other undead, and do not willfully attack them unless ordered to, or until the reaper takes some offensive action against them. Furthermore, intelligent undead are more apt to feel closer to the reaper than to other living creatures, granting the reaper a +2 bonus to Charisma checks when interacting with undead.

'''{{Anchor|Eyes of the Reaper}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' A reaper's unique nature grants it the ability to distinguish between characters on the cusp of death, and those who have passed beyond the veil. A number of times per day equal to your Charisma modifier, you may activate [[SRD:Deathwatch|deathwatch]] as a swift action, though this only lasts for a single minute at a time.

At 15th level this ability improves, granting you permanently the effects of the [[SRD:Deathwatch|deathwatch]] spell.

'''{{Anchor|Soulbind}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' The scythe of a reaper is more than just a weapon; it is an instrument for binding souls. Whenever a creature dies within 30' of the reaper, and as long as the creature is not of the construct, elemental, ooze, outsider, or undead type, the reaper may take an immediate action to bind the creature's soul into his scythe. The souls appear as small gems with sizes corresponding to the number of HD they possessed, and you may only have a number of souls at a time equal to twice your [[Charisma]] modifier, or up to 7, whichever is lower. Make sure to keep track of each creature's HD.

Creatures whose souls have been bound cannot be rebound, even if they are ressurected, and can only remain bound for up to seven days before they are automatically released. Any abilities that use souls within the gems automatically release that soul. A creature whose soul is bound cannot be ressurected by any means, though the use of a Wish or Miracle spell can release it earlier than expected from the soulbind.

'''{{Anchor|Consume Soul}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' The reaper may use souls he's captured for his own benefit, ingesting his enemies' souls and using their power to fuel his own life force. As a swift action, the reaper may consume a soul to regain 1d6 HP. For every five HD the soul possessed, increase the amount of HP regained by 1d6.

By taking longer, the reaper may ingest the soul more completely, multiplying the number of d6 rolled by three.

'''{{Anchor|Necrotic Purge}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' The end of a hose may be compressed to increase the force of the water at the end. So can a soul as well. By ejecting a soul quickly through his scythe, the reaper increases the raw destructive power that is dealt by his weapon. As a swift action, the reaper may expend a single soul from his scythe, causing the next attack that hits during this turn to deal an additional 1d6 damage. For every three HD the soul possessed, increase the damage dealt by 1d6.

'''{{Anchor|Bonus Feat}}:''' The reaper's mastery increases, not only over life and death, but also about the art of combat. At 5th, 11th, and 17th level, the reaper gains a single feat from the following list that he meets the prerequisites for (prefaced with their source): 
*Book of Vile Darkness: Deformity (Clawed Hands), Deformity (Eyes), Deformity (Face), Deformity (Gaunt), Deformity (Obese), Sacrificial Mastery, Vile Martial Strike, Willing Deformity
*Champions of Ruin: Bloodsoaked Intimidate, Demonsworn Knight, Disciple of Darkness, Evil Brand, Evil Embraced, Flay Foe, Hellbound Knight, Mutilator, Natural Bully, Scion of Sorrow, Skewer Foe, Snatch Trophy, Thrall to Demon, Tormented Knight, Touch of Benevolence
*Libris Mortis: Daunting Presence, Death Master*, Eviscerator*, Ghost Scarred, Improved Toughness, Lifesense*, Necromantic Might, Necromantic Presence, Tomb-Tainted Fortitude, Tomb-Tainted Resilience, Tomb-Tainted Soul, Tomb-Tainted Vitality.
*Player's Handbook: Improved Shield Bash, Mounted Combat, Persuasive, Quick Draw
*Tome of Battle: Blade Meditation, Martial Study, Martial Stance, Rapid Assault, Stone Power, Vital Recovery
<nowiki>*</nowiki>You count as undead, or having no Constitution score for the purpose of these feats.

'''{{Anchor|Aura of Despair}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' The thread you carry that pierces into the world of the dead is always with you, and others can unconsciously feel it. All creatures within 10' of you take a -2 morale penalty to their attacks and the DCs of their abilities while they remain within 10' of you, unless they make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 character level + Charisma modifier). Creatures who exit and then re-enter need to make a new save, but if a creature successfully saves then they are immune to your aura for 24 hours.

'''{{Anchor|Ray of Necrosis}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' Honing his power, at 7th level the reaper may purge a soul from his soulbound scythe with such force that it blasts out to damage his foes. As a standard action, the reaper may eject a single soul from his scythe, making a ranged touch attack at a distance of 100' in a green ray. Creatures hit with this ray take 1d6 damage for every 2 HD the soul possessed.

'''{{Anchor|Inspire Dread}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' Your connection to the realm of the dead grows stronger, inspiring fear in those who do not share your might. When you charge, make a full attack, or cast a spell that either targets an enemy or includes an enemy in its area, you gain the ability to create fear within their hearts. One enemy targeted or within the area targeted must succeed on a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Cha modifier) or be shaken for 1 minute. Regardless of its success or failure on the saving throw, any creature exposed to this effect is immune to your frightful presence for the next 24 hours. Creatures with a number of HD equal to yours -8 are instead Frightened rather than Shaken.

'''{{Anchor|Breath of Undeath}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' Upon reaching 10th level, you may entice wandering souls beyond the veil to come forth by offering a shard of one of souls stored in your soulbound weapon. As a standard action, expend a single soul to cast Summon Undead (Spell Compendium). The effective caster level is equal to four less than the HD of the soul offered, and you may cast the highest grade of Summon Undead that could be cast using that caster level.

Thus, if a level 10 soul were offered, you could effectively cast Summon Undead III, which requires a caster level of 5 or higher.

'''{{Anchor|Road of Souls}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' You reach the point where souls are not just power, but matter, to be manipulated and bent to your will. At 12th level as a move action, you may expend a soul to teleport 10' per HD the soul possessed (as per [[SRD:Dimension_Slide|Dimension Slide]]).

'''{{Anchor|Grave Hands}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' Grave Hands (Su): Graveyards have ties to the realm of the dead, and at 14th level you learn to desecrate a section of ground, causing it to become a temporary graveyard filling with the inhabitants of the realm of the dead. Using this ability is a standard action which uses two of your stored souls, or as a swift action if you use up four souls. You designate an area of ground within a range of 100' with a 20' radius. Enemies within that area must make a Reflex saving throw at the start of each turn or take 5d6 damage and are immobilized for a round, suffering half damage and no status condition if they save as hands crawl up and pull them down, ravaging at whatever they can reach. This area lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier before dissipating (minimum one round).

'''{{Anchor|Death Ward}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' As your power begins to culminate, you find that the undead and their special types of attacks have no effect on you. At 16th level, the reaper is under constant effect of [[SRD:Death Ward|death ward]].

'''{{Anchor|Vengeance}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' Vengeance (Su): The culmination of your power finally reaches its pinnacle. At 20th level, you may forcibly rip a recently-dead creature (dead for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier or less) back across the veil, enslaving their spirit and forcing them to fight for you. As a standard action that uses a number of soul gems whose total HD are equal to twice the number of HD your target possessed. You must be next to the target's body, or if their whole body is completely gone, within 5' of the stop where they died.

Upon doing so, the target is immediately brought to life at full HP and under no ill effects, fighting or acting at your command at their full strength for a number of rounds before disappearing back through the veil. This target may only be used on a creature once before it must be actually ressurected, then killed again before this ability can be used upon it once more.-->

===Campaign Information===

====Playing a Assassin====

'''Religion:''' Assassins can follow any deitiy or belief.  However, many tend to go with the least hostile ideology toward killing. In fact, assassins of good deities may find themselves complexed, and lawful deities tend to frown the illegal act of stealthy killing. 

'''Other Classes:''' Assassins get along well with rogues, and have conflict with Paladins and good party members. Otherwise they does not tend to have conflict with other classes. 

'''Combat:''' An assassin is a combat rogue, she fights and kills on par with a fighter or a martial adept and is able to pack a huge punch with sneak attack. However the d6 make you a glass cannon and you are not a good skillmonkey or trapfinder. You extend your use of stealth to only one thing: combat.

'''Advancement:''' An assassin should remain an assassin from 1 to 20. Few classes offer her a countinuity in all of her abilities, and no martial adept or roguish PrC really fit her need.

====Assassin in the World====

{{quote|Some kill for duties, some kill for revolutionary causes, some kill for power or fun. Some even kill for good. No matter why you kill, the method is always the same.|orig=Makkura, Human Assassin}}

'''Daily Life:''' Assassins must know how to blank their emotions, and killing people isn't always easy for the good assassin. But really, assassins have no fixed daily lives.  An orc assassin will live a very different life than a human guild assassin.

'''Notables:''' The Righteous Plague, a mysterious female assassin who lived in the great metropolis of Thereleflor. She killed about one hundred crime lords and thugs during her rather short career. Shortly after killing the last big crime boss she surrendered herself to the local police and was hanged.  However, she still remain a legendary and beneficial figure among the common people of the city. She is a prime example of a lawful good assassin. 

'''Organizations:''' Assassin organizations are widely different. Some are cult-like organizations who kill for dark deities. Some are guilds who kill for profit, other are justiciars killing criminals. No matter the origin and purpose, assassin organizations are many and worldwide.

'''NPC Reactions:''' NPCs almost always react negatively to the assassin, if they know she is one. In fact most people tend to think assassins are rogues.

====Assassin Lore====

Characters with ranks in [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|knowledge]] (local) can research assassins to learn more about them.  When a character makes a skill check, read or paraphrase the following, including information from lower DCs.
