Thread: The Concealment IV Title Hunter
I agree that both Ghost and Assassin would be cool.
A liitle background on Assassins:
Word History: At first glance, one would be hard-pressed to find a link between pleasure and the acts of assassins. Such was not the case, however, with those who gave us the word assassin. They were members of a secret Islamic order originating in the 11th century who believed it was a religious duty to harass and murder their enemies. The most important members of the order were those who actually did the killing. Having been promised paradise in return for dying in action, the killers, it is said, were made to yearn for paradise by being given a life of pleasure that included the use of hashish. From this came the name for the secret order as a whole, hassasin, “hashish users.” After passing through French or Italian, the word came into English and is recorded in 1603 with reference to the Muslim Assassins.

I like "Silent Assassin" or "Ghost" both are great titles. Although there are times when I like hunter, put on Hunter title equip Laser Carbine and everyone thinks you are a BH 
But overall Hunter needs to be changed because it is already in the Scout tree.
I like "Ghost" the best, it sounds cool and is different.
Although "Silent Assassin" sounds ok too. Don't really care for just "Assassin" though, it sounds like a BH title
lurker (n): someone waiting in concealment
lurk (v):
2. To move furtively; sneak.
3. To exist unobserved or unsuspected.

How about Lurker? In case someone doesn't know what that means:
lurker (n): someone waiting in concealment
lurk (v):
1. To lie in wait, as in ambush.
2. To move furtively; sneak.
3. To exist unobserved or unsuspected.
No..lurker sounds like some pedophile thing.
Ghost > Lurker.
silent assassin sounds good

**edit** settle down bro. ghost doesnt describe anything that the concealment line does. it also doesnt fit very well with the SW universe.
don't get all worked up about a suggestion someone made, we are all just throwing out ideas.
silent assassin does however, to a certain extent, describe the concealment line. ghost is just too much of a strech.

In what way does silent assassin "fit" more in star wars then ghost?
Lets be honest here, neither of the two would fit the branch very well. If you honestly think the devs are gonna go with something as unoriginal as "silent assassin", a titlethat has been beaten to death in countlessother RPG's, you are grossly mistaken.
