Wetboys are to assassins like a tiger is to a kitten

"I am Sa'kage, a lord of shadows. I claim the shadows that the Shadow may not. I am the strong arm of deliverance.I am Shadowstrider. I am the Scales of Justice. I am He-Who-Guards-Unseen. I am Shadowslayer. I am Nameless. The coranti shall not go unpunished. My way is hard, but I serve unbroken. In ignobility, nobility. In shame, honor. In darkness, light. I will do justice and love mercy. Until the king returns, I shall not lay my burden down."

The wetboy's mastery of blades, poisons, stealth, along with the Talent make them the world's greatest killers. The Talent is what separates lowly assassins from Wetboys. The Talent gives them powers that include, but are not limited to, invisibility, muffling footsteps, throwing voices, and enhanced speed and strength.

Gameplay:

 

Only the deader dies

A wetboy doesn't love death and slaughter, a wetboy loves challenge. Getting in, killing the deader and any witnesses, and getting out. A wetboy is a cold, calculating machine, planning his entry, kill and exit. When a contract doesn't have a due date, a wetboy often experiments with different poisons, and how they react with each other. When on a contract, kill only the target, you are a professional, not some assassin. 

 

 

The Talent:

In the absence of the Talent in Skyrim, these are the spells and shouts that will replace it

Shadow Pounce: Invisibility + Silent Roll + Critical Charge

using his talent to aid his approach, the wetboy leaps out of his invisibility, blade going for the deader's neck

 

Shade: Slowtime + Invisibility + Sneak Attack + Shadow Stone

talking to her lord, the servant girl gasps as he suddenly falls to the ground dead, throat cut, wind blowing in through the now open window.

creeping down the corridor, the wetboy sees a door open. A blink of an eye later, he's up in the rafters.

any criticism is welcome, thank you and goodnight. 

also, if you were wondering, this is inspired by the Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks 

 

 

 

 

A few presentation errors, capitalization, white spaces, and all different text sizes. Pretty sure we already have a Wetboy build as well, so you may want to change the name. I do like the pictures, but the build isn't in-depth enough for my +1 yet. I'm not seeing enough gameplay explanations. 

The name, dear god, that was fantastic. I would give you +1 for the name, but also, the content is good so yeah :D

Per-fect. No comment. The unique build that suits my gameplay. Good job bro!

Instant like for the Night Angel build.

I second what miraak said. In addition some of the pictures just take away from the presentation. The worst offender is that poorly blurred photo with the glowing eyes. And I hate to beat a dead horse but the name wet boy is pretty weird.

Similar to wetworks...  As in wet with the victim's blood.

Are you sure about the "a wetboy is to an assassin as a tiger is to a kitten?" My cat would love to meet a tiger. A local St. Bernards won't come in fifty feet of the 'lil princess and her brother, Spotacus.

It's a pretty good build. As others have said, work a little on the presentation. +1 from me!

Anyone mind telling me what fiction this is from? About the talent and such? Seems a little like my kind of thing.

It's probably one of the best fantasy novel series I've read: Brent Week's Night Angel Trilogy.
