I grabbed up this Amazon clix, could make a good Kassandra with some minor paint and modding.

Assassin's Sight is a neat name. I just felt like Eagle Vision felt a bit off-base when the power was covering a lot more than just the EV itself.

Power probably would need some balance tweaks, but I feel like the base concept of "Take a second to plan, then carefully maneuver around the enemy" feels like a new way to represent stealth gameplay.

Found a moddable/paintable figure for Connor/Ratonhnhaké:ton!

[Splash]

Updated Ezio with these powers. I figure the Freerunning bonding can go on the Uncommon Assassins, with a specific bonus for the Leader class.

FREERUNNING
Ezio Auditore da Firenze can move through all figures and is never attacked when leaving an engagement. When moving up levels of height to move onto a space with Ezio, only count one space for every six levels. You may ignore Ezio's height when moving up levels of terrain and ignore falling damage.

DUAL HIDDEN BLADES
Once per round, after Ezio becomes engaged with a figure, you may roll an unblockable attack die against that figure for each revealed Order Marker on that figure’s card. Then you may roll an additional unblockable attack die against the same figure or another figure you are engaged with.

ASSASSIN’S ARSENAL
Once per round, instead of attacking, you may choose one of the following:
• Choose a figure within 3 clear sight spaces that is not an Android, Construct, or Undead. That figure may not move normally and rolls 1 less defense die for the rest of the round.
• Choose a figure within 5 clear sight spaces. That figure receives 1 unblockable wound.

FREERUNNING
Ratonhnhaké:ton can move through all figures and is never attacked when leaving an engagement. When moving up levels of height to move onto a space with Ratonhnhaké:ton, only count one space for every six levels. You may ignore Ratonhnhaké:ton's height when moving up levels of terrain and ignore falling damage.

RALLYING CHARGE
If Ratonhnhaké:ton is engaged, all Soldiers you control that are within clear sight of Ratonhnhaké:ton roll 1 additional attack die for each revealed numbered Order Marker on this card when attacking normally.

PIVOT BLADE
Once per round, after Ratonhnhaké:ton becomes engaged with a figure, you may roll an unblockable attack die against that figure for each revealed Order Marker on that figure’s card. When rolling defense dice against a normal attack from an adjacent attacking figure, if you rolled any excess shields, the attacking figure receives one wound for each revealed Order Marker on that figure’s card.

AC wikia - "Ratonhnhaké:ton (born 1756), also known by the adopted name of Connor, was a Kanien'kehá:ka-born Master Assassin of the Colonial Brotherhood of Assassins during the period of the American Revolutionary War."

"According to Ubisoft, "Ratonhnhaké:ton" (pronounced Ra-doon-ha-ge-doon) means "life that is scratched", referring to his struggle to survive. "His spirit has emerged" or "he has begun to live" are equally valid but less poetic interpretations of his name: Haudenosaunee names are not meant to be literal, and encourage one to think about how they want their name to shape them."



Painting Guide

Spoiler Alert!

The figure we are using is Holiday Elf.


Pictures for your reference. (These give you a pretty good idea, I suggest looking at them first, you may not even need this guide.)

Spoiler Alert!

Step One: Before you do anything, some minor modding. Cut off the ears, so it’s just a flat hood and the extra bit on the bow, you can thin out the ends as well and make them more curvy if you like (I fixed the bow later on).

Step Two: Next we paint. You want to start with a dark blue and get the pants down to the boots. Get the bottom of the back of his waistcoat (there should be an easy enough to see dividing line) and you can even extend the little ending corners if you want so it drapes more. Paint two small lines from each corner of his bottom front jacket up to between his neck and shoulder on each side (you can use the buttons/rivets as a guide, paint the line between them). Lastly paint a line going from the edge of each bottom rivet towards his back curving up to a point in the middle top of his back.

Spoiler Alert!

Step Three: Go over everything that is white and the red arms with your coat of white, excluding for his legboots and hands. Also go over the arrows.

Spoiler Alert!

Step Four: Use a leather brown to go over the arrow quiver as well as the bow, then mix that with some leftover white and go over the arrow being shot and the bottom half of the arrows in the quiver.

Spoiler Alert!

Step Five: Use black to add more coloration to the arrow feather fluffs. Use red to add the little assassin belt scarf/sash as a small bit in the center of where his coat separates in the bottom front, you can paint a bit down to the left to show it blowing if you want. Use a metallic color for the arrowtip, the furthest buttons on each side of the coat, and the Assassin symbol on his sash. Lastly, get a good skin tone for him and carefully go over his face and neck, avoiding the eyes and eyebrows as best you can. When you are done, use white and skirt around the hood to cover any extra. Also get his fingers and thumbs as he wears fingerless gloves like Altair.

Spoiler Alert!

Step Six & Finished figure: I cut him off the base so I could get at his feet, but you don’t have to. Paint his legboots dark brown and his gloves as well as his forearm area on the blade/left arm. Optionally, paint a very thin brown line across the strip of blue on his back and another across his sash if you want.

I know Pivot Blade is kind of disconnected right now, it's function in-game is to be the regular Hidden Blade as well as a general use dagger to parry with and such, so I have the Hidden Blade and a counter strike type power. Maybe the defensive ability could be tied closer somehow.

[MrNobody]

So, naming conventions: I'm guessing the game treats Ratonhnhaké:ton as his "chosen" name? I'm seeing the wiki treats it as his primary name as well. Asking because I know a lot of promotional and merch stuff tends to call him Connor more, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's cynical reasons behind that.

Ezio - Dig it. Leaving the bonding to an Uncommon Brotherhood Assassin makes sense. I'd maybe rework Assassin's Arsenal a bit to be once per turn instead? Mostly just because 2 once per round powers on a card feels a little funky imo, but maybe thats just me.

Ratonhnhaké:ton - I like Rallying Charge, Soldiers as a faction having a lot of stuff that activates off of being engaged is neat. Rallying Charge would make him a nasty partner for Winter Soldier.

Maybe the defensive part of Pivot Blade could also have something to do with revealed OMs on the target? For each revealed OM on the target, roll one additional die?

Initially I wanted markers to make them a once per game, but at any time kinda deal for Ezio. The Hidden gun especially is more of a one shot thing so once per round makes the most sense, to lost the marker wording. I was thinking of having them be markers and then one can go back on if he is not in clear sight of any enemies as like a reloading thing (cause this is like an ancient 1500s gun).
Right now, it's choose one once per round.

I like the OMs for the counter as well on Ratonhnhaké:ton, I'll add that.

Also this figure could be used for Eivor with paint/minor modding.
