Specialisations Notes
This specialisation can be found as part of the following careers: Bounty Hunter (sw-ffg-ee-cr)
Whereas most Bounty Hunters focus primarily on the capture of quarry, those who specialise as Assassins are generally tasked with the straightforward proposition of terminating their targets. The selection of additional skills for an Assassin very much points towards his focus. Assassins teend to prefer getting in quietly, taking out targets (either up close or snipping from afar), and leaving just as silently as they entered. Their talents are very appropriate for this kind of work.
Despite their different methods, Assassins still adhere to many of the same ethics and practices of other Bounty Hunters. They take their work very seriously, avoid all needless bloodshed, and honour their contracts to the letter. Some treat their methods with reverence, even assigning a certain mystique to it. Others simply see themselves as cold killers, and are just fine with it.

P – Passive Talent - Always on, and applies when it states. A – Active Talent - Requires an Action, Manoeuvre or an Incidental which sometimes comes with a Wound, Strain or Destiny requirement. R – Ranked Talent - The more of these talents you aquire the greater the effect of the talent. Ranked talents start from Teir 1 to 4 and can only be increased up to Tier 5 allowing for some to have four upgrades and some to have one upgrade.

House Rule Changes
Made Dedication the reward for completing a Specialisation Tree instead of a Tier 5 Item. Replaced Dedication with a 5th Tier Lethal Blows in fitting with the Assassin.

Part of the Bounty Hunter Career. I have moved away from tree link progression and gone for Tier progression. A character must have another incomplete specialisation of the same tier before completing a tier row. This has casued a few adjustments in trees.
