Eliminator (Character Kit)

__NOTOC__
Qualifications: NPCs with good alignments cannot be Eliminators. The Eliminator must have an Intelligence score of 13 or better.
Description and Role: The Eliminator is a loner who assassinates high-profile, carefully protected targets. Eliminators are solitary hunters; they work in groups only when they feel it is impossible to get to the target alone.
Each Eliminator specializes in one specific technique of elimination, performing assassinations with the same type of weapon every time. Highly egotistical Eliminators choose uncommon or unusual weapons as their "signatures."
Secondary Skills: None required.
Weapon Proficiencies: Required: None.
Nonweapon Proficiencies: Required: None.
Special Benefits: In a campaign that uses weapon proficiency rules, the Eliminator can specialize in weapons but is much more limited than a fighter.
The Eliminator may specialize in one weapon at 5th level, a second weapon at 9th level, and a third weapon at 13th level. He may not specialize in more than three weapons (or two weapons plus one martial art). He does not get the additional attacks per round of a weapons specialist (from Table 35 in the Player's Handbook), nor receive extra attacks per round based on level advancement like a fighter.
Special Hindrances: There are two types of Eliminator: free-lancers, who contract for killings on a mission-by-mission basis with many employers, and those belonging to criminal organizations.
Both types of Eliminator exist mainly as skillful opponents for the PCs. The most suspenseful sort of adventure involves PCs (perhaps some of them are spies) assigned to protect the target of an Eliminator.
Eliminators belonging to criminal organizations suffer the same clan obligations as ninja. (See Chapter 6.)
