    Skill        :   Assassinate

    This skill requires you to study your victim for a long period of
    time.  The average time it takes to fully learn about your target's
    weakness and how to make the perfect strike depends on both your own
    level as well as the level of your target.
    
    You meld perfectly with his shadow and you almost become one with your
    target.  You will learn his every move and you will auto follow him
    even if he tries to run away.  This is similar to how stalk works.
    Your target has no way of knowing that you are following him around
    and will not notice you if you have spent enough time training your
    skill at stalking.
    
    It costs 5sp per round to maintain the high concentration to study
    your foe.  It will take about 15 rounds to study an equal level
    target, less if he is smaller and more time if the target is more
    experienced than you are.  You can expect a successful assassinate
    attempt to deal somewhere in the range 200-250hp at hero level.
    
    You cannot assassinate in combat.  Your assassinate attempt will end
    if someone engages you in combat, and your spent spell points will be
    lost.
    
    Assassinating a player will cause you to be aggressive from the first
    beat you start to study him.  He can at any time attack you to stop
    your assassinate attempt.  All of your spent spell points will be
    lost.  You are aggressive towards him so he will not become aggressive
    since it counts as if he is defending himself.  Odds are that he will
    not notice you until it is too late.
    
    The powers of the Ninja will flow through your body as the damage
    message echoes over the MUD.  The strike is very powerful, will
    inflict a great deal of damage and might even instant kill your
    target!
