Dragon Age: Origins · Rogue specialization
Assassin
Assassin adds dexterity and melee critical chance; its description emphasizes poison and crippling strikes that leave persistent wounds.
How it works
The specialization grants +2 dexterity and +2.5% critical chance for melee only. Its description names poisons and crippling strikes that inflict persistent wounds as characteristic weapons. In Origins it unlocks through Zevran or a manual. To use the specialization and its tied talents after unlocking it, the character must spend a specialization point.
