I'd love to see something like what you both said, basically a mercenary or paid assassin who focused on ranged weapons, a sniper. He or she would be a mix of World of Warcraft Hunter (without the pet) and Rogue (without the melee combat specialization). Bows or crossbows would be his usual tool of the trade. He'd focus on aimed shots: a slow rate of fire that did lethal damage.
This would be a dark character, but unlike the Necromancer who desires power and seeks it through occult paths, he would be down-to-earth, practical, greedy and criminal. He'd wear cloaks, cowls, hoods. Lots of black clothing and armor.
Anyone here play the Thief series of 1st person sneakers? Someone like Garret- very practical, cynical and worldly, yet professional and focused. Or, like the Thieves from the Majesty RTS; I really loved the line they said whenever they got gold: "My ambition has paid off!" A female version would be like the character Haley from the Order of the Stick webcomic.
Skills would include ranged attack stuff, stealth and some dirty fighting tricks for melee (usually to disable opponents or keep them away from you). Sniping shots (long cast time (aiming), but does a lot of extra damage- best done as an initial attack). Sand or dirt in your eyes. Garrotes (silences target; attacking a lone target does not cause other mobs in the area to aggro you for a certain amount of time; if you kill quickly enough, you will leave combat without attracting attention). Trick shots (example: shooting someone in the foot, leg, paw, hoof, tentacle, etc. to slow them down). Stealth (you can sneak by). Distraction 1 (making it easier to sneak by). Distraction 2 (distract an opponent, step back into the shadows, escape).
I love this idea. I think the character would be cool if it looked like the Assassin's Creed character, but with more dark features instead of lighter.
