This site was a project to make a list of available skills per Dungeon Degenerate character, which then went a bit overboard. It is based on the card CSS renderering work done by Stephan Beal for his excellent Morbad Tools site.

Cloaked Killer

A mysterious assassin from beyond the Eastern Mountains, the Cloaked Killer's motives & mission are unknown. Creeping unseen through the shadows, its twitchy serpentine eyes scan for targets though the lenses of its strange helmet & with a faint click, its victim writhes on the ground in agony, a dart protruding from the nect & fast-acting poison ravaging the nervous system. Is it a secret agent for some sinister foreign power, or does it kill for sport or out of hatred for mankind? It will never say & the only certainty is the fast approaching fate of its victims.
