Description: A political assassin is an Assassin who murders one or more political figures. Typically, he strikes at his target because he believes that what he's doing is right. He really believes that the target must be killed for the good of society (or the assassin's family, or some other group).

Political assassins aren't killing for money or honor. They don't work as assassins - they only assassinate one or a few indivuals to accomplish their political goals.

In all likelihood, a political assassin won't care if he's captured or killed so long as he accomplishes his mission. Political assassins strike for "good", not for any kind of personal benefit.

Combat Technique: Any. Political assassins usually aren't professional assassins.

Preferred Skills: Same as an Assassin, but a political assassin might not have an appropriate skill set.

Benefit: A political assassin's fanaticism may help him focus his skills.

Disadvantage: A political assassin might allow his desire to kill his target to cloud his judgement. The consequences of his actions won't be as important to him as accomplishing his goal.
