Ride the Lightning. Their second album. Cliff Burton. Huge Lovecraft fan. 'Nuff said.

What about an assassin with high base precision (maybe ninja?) with the scepter of corruption? You can't quicken him anymore, but with a few surrvival items, you can kill just about anything.

Personally, I like to give assassins Bane Blades if they don't already have them. Most mages are old age already, so it doesn't really take that long for a Bane Blade to do it's job, plus it's a pretty cheap investment.

One of my favourite assassins (no, not for mp.)

Star Child. with a horror harmonica, starshine, ritual of returning, and twist fate. And the oath rod, just for fun.

Actually, it works okay against armies to.

don't have much experience with dom3 yet, but what i liked to do in dom2, and maybe this was a bug, was wait around until the eternal knights showed up and way over bid them. then when i got them i'd send them to thier death. orion always get 1000+ xp and usually got the heroic strength ability. once i'd researched the spell that raises heroes on the hall of fame, i would raise orion as a mummy and by then he would have 60+ strength. i would give him the wraith crown, shoes of flying, monolith armor, the scythe artifact, and a few other things. i'd usually make him my prophet as well.

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread
 

Monolith armor? Why?

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread
 

best armor there be and he was undead, so he wasn't encumbered by it. so what the ethereal-ness didn't take care of, the armor did. i suppose he would have been vulnerable to spells, but he usually had the army routed after the first few rounds anyway, so nobody ever got anything bad enough off to kill him

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread
 

That orion seems like a bit of a waste. 60+ strength is wasted on almost anything other than pretenders, SC's and extremely costly, powerful units (ie, what the enemy wont let him near) and hes extremely expensive and hard to get for what he does. He does sound fun though.
