===Design Note: Assassin Updates===
<ref name="ua23phpt6" />&nbsp;Here are the main updates in this subclass since the 2014 {{pub|Player's Handbook (5e)}}:
* '''{{iplink|Assassinate}}''' now gives you Advantage on Initiative rolls, and the extra damage of the feature no longer requires a target to be surprised.
* '''{{iplink|Infiltration Expertise}}''' combines Infiltration Expertise and Imposter from the 2014 version of the subclass.
* '''{{iplink|Envenom Weapons}}''' is a new 13th-level feature, allowing you to benefit from your Poisoner’s Kit.
* '''{{iplink|Death Strike}}''' no longer requires the target to be surprised. It instead relies on your Sneak Attack.
