After playing 2 levels of Assassin I hadn't seen 1 singel death attack so I had to read the info again and to my big dissapointment I read that it only works if the target is out of combat.

So that seems ok. Or wait? When are the enemies ever out of comabt? I have max skill in Move Silent and Hide for my level plus a few skills from items. But that doesn't matter does it? No coz my party always follows me and get us in combat and I have them on max following distant.

So my question is, are there some way to get your party to stop following? A mod or something. Coz I really like the idea of the class but as it is right now I don't see any point in taking levels in Assassin.

in the first nwn you could issue commands to your npc's like "wait here" and "attack my target"

which would be perfect for your needs.

try some shift + left or right clicks on your party and you should be able to find the issue commands menu.

Right click your Assassin char potrait --> Broadcast Command --> Stand Your Ground.

Your party will then wait where you leave them while you do your business.

Also, I THINK that the Death Attack gets automatically applied to the Sneak Attack, so you wont see 'Death Attack' on screen.

At 1st level, the assassin can make a special sneak attack called a Death Attack. This functions exactly like rogue's sneak attack ability, except that the attack has a chance of paralyzing the target. The assassin's Death Attack inflicts an extra 1d6 points of damage. This bonus rises to +2d6 at 3rd level, +3d6 at 5th level, +4d6 at 7th level and +5d6 at 9th level.

xchagger has it right. Just use the broadcast command function. I do this all the time with my ranger/rogue. I have the party "stand their ground" at the entrance to an area while my character scouts around. Once I find a group of enemies I position my ranger behind them and then broadcast the command "follow me". Once the party gets in range of the baddies I issue the command "attack nearest". As the party charges forward to the baddies I sneak attack them from the rear.

This tactic is fun from a roleplaying perspective

When you have the feat it says that the target most be out of combat and with seen I meant seen Paralyze.

Btw tnx for the tip, didn't even know there was a broadcast command
