Summary: Not quite balanced
Comment: While entertaining, this book's core class - the 20 level Assassin is not balanced. The concept of gaining a critical "kill" attack at 2nd level and every 4 levels there after is simply too powerful - Most Gms will have to find ways to work with\around that ability to tone it down. Not only that - but there are a few critical typos - the Maximize Poison and Empower poison feats read Exactly the same - and I am sure the authors intended these to work similarly to the mage version - but gave no reason Why they should work that way - what about an Assassin allows him to make a poison any stronger than he normally would - let alone what the feats do?
Personally, I wanted more rationalizing, more depth and more useful tools. If you are a new gamer looking to play an Assassin this might be the book for you - but personally, I think you need to wait on a more balanced and complete book, or even a good chapter in another book, on Assassin's before spending your money on this. In reality out of it's like 66 pages - only 20ish of them are useful, the rest is fluff.
