TL;DR: Good people may kill but assassin kill as their bread and butter.
Eh, you can never have too many class skills really. Once you multiclass and dip here and there you can pretty much grab every skill as a class skill before level 4 and still have a good build.Knoweldge (Local) is meant to be there seems I forgot it. Knowledge (Nature) is their so they can identify spiders and get Child of Araneae. I didn't want to add Knowledge (Nobility) as I thought it might cause it to have too many class skills
I would suggest expanding the use/necessity of Knowledge (Nature) for the class then to make it less tacked on and more important for the flavor and mechanics of the class.
A little. Just end the sentence after the 5 and start a new sentence saying something like, "The animal companion possesses half its master's sneak attack dice as well".Gave it better sneak attack, think I may have stuffed up the wording though.
Alrighty.I'll reword it.
Emphasis on the concept of "should". Pathfinder may have done a lot of good things, but it didn't particularly change the tier system too much or fix every problem. So don't feel scared to make the Spider Blood Assassin better than the Rogue.Its the Weapons Training Talent from Pathfinders Rogue so it should be realitively balanced... I'll try and beef it up.
Looks good.Sorry I'll fix.
Because that's why we homebrew good sir. Because that's why we homebrew.This has the exact same wording and formatting as the Assassin Ability of the same name. Thats why it is like how it is.. Why change what is canon in Pathfinder.
On a serious note though, just because Pathfinder did something one way or named something a certain way doesn't mean we can't tweak it or give it a better window dressing. The wonderful folks at Paizo are no more infallible than you or I.
But it's ultimately up to you to decide to take any advice or critiques I offer, so go with what feels right to you.
At the very least, change the name of the ability. It honestly makes the table look sort of clunky.
I definitely suggest adding in more spider related and themed abilities. Don't feel above cribbing from other fictional sources (like the multiple incarnations of Spider-man for example) when looking for inspiration.I tried to think of one but nothing came to mind.... I'll try again.
I'll try and think up some more Techniques and the Capstone.
