Sacred 2:Assassin - Diablo 2 Fallen

NOTE: The contents of this page are exclusive content found only by installing the player-made mega-mod Diablo 2 Fallen.

The Assassin The Assassins are an ancient order originally founded to hunt down and eliminate rogue mages. To this end, the Order would not employ the magic arts directly; rather, they would use ingenious devices and enchanted items to battle those possessing great magical powers. To further their campaign against demonic corruption, they concentrated on augmenting the natural martial abilities of their bodies, both physical and mental. Employing secret disciplines to combat and resist the magical abilities of their elusive quarry, the Assassin's bag of tricks includes traps and other infernal devices, martial arts, and powerful mental abilities. Common people know nothing of the Assassins, but they are widely feared and respected by all who employ the magic arts. The Paths Light Path Introduction: "There is great evil here.
