I wasn't aware she looks significantly different? Also, no Flynn hasn't posted Lancer yet. I guess he's still working out some kinks.

Fixed that for you.

Aaand let it be known that Hukuna could wait no longer. Seriously though, wait 'til you see episode 3. As in legit episode 3 counting the prologue as episode 0.

I have a copy of the VN that I've been playing through at the moment. Off the topic but Murdoc, have you been watching the Ufotable UBW adaptation that's been airing at the moment? If not then you should be, it's godlike.

Well I just didn't want to reveal anything that Frogs didn't want people to know, and there may well be people who don't know how Fate/Stay Night ends. I'm not a big fan of spoilers myself.

Mmm. Yeah it does.

Well I can tell you with certainty that something is up with the grail this time around anyway. I doubt it's the same grail as always 'cause reasons...

Well colour me surprised. Still, I never claimed to be the be all and end all of knowledge on the Fate universe, just that I know more than most. Unfortunately I guess that means we'll need a new candidate for Assassin... again. For the witch trial thing, I only meant that his abilities are very much like what people were accusing witches of, and he would likely be very susceptible to the ability.

Not as much as you might think, the main downside to him is the lack of a potent offensive phantasm. Saber and Berserker are both much stronger and more enduring than Assassin, while Assassin's strength lies in his ability to slow your attacks and his overwhelming agility. He will dodge a lot of your strikes, but with battle continuation/weird sister's curse there's not much he can do to affect their ability to fight. His psychokinesis and teleportation scream witch trial too. As for instant transmission, the VN itself states that servants with teleportation capabilities exist. And as far as

Made some edits in red, most of them are technical things like ranks and stuff. The agility rank and the type of eye of the mind are up to you.

The noble phantasms look nice, but overall he's still probably the weakest servant not called Caster in melee combat. I'm not sure if he's meant to be crossing blades with anyone but right now Saber, Lancer (I hope), Archer, Assassin (if Hanzo), and Berserker should be able to fairly easily solo him in melee without the use of noble phantasms. That isn't taking his Roc into account, nor his insane luck, but if he's meant to be proficient in close quarters parameters of D/C/C aren't gonna cut it. In all honesty though from what I know of his legend Sinbad wasn't much of a warrior, so it's pro

Nice one, second coolest servant after Stay Night Lancer imo. I didn't change it 'cause hype for this though, just the UBW remake in general.

No, it's more like people need a specific weather condition and time of day.

Hah, yeah. Not really looking forward to seeing Assassin stop Archer's arrows with his mind all matrix style but he'll make for a cool opponent. That psychokinesis is likely to be his only noble phantasm though, as I don't think his spear had any unique properties. Also, kind of on topic this is too funny: http://www.badassoftheweek.com/hanzo.html Not sure if I'd call it a reliable resource, but it showcases his history in an entertaining fashion.

Honestly Hanzo has the potential to be really scary, seeing as he's a famous figure, and he's going to be summoned in Japan, he'll get bonuses to his parameters to represent that. Never seen an Assassin class servant that was truly dangerous in 1 on 1 before, so that'll be cool.

Nope, just me wondering why your avatar is someone from Steins;Gate. Zeph.

Well, I'm busy 'til around the 7th of November.

It does feel that way sometimes.

I'm with Hukuna on this one, it sounds too situational for my liking. As far as Cleopatra goes, she's a difficult servant to make powerful because there isn't that much special about her. If you want to keep going down that line then that's fine, but I looked into ninja culture to see if there are any notable names ('cause ninjas are badass). 1. Yamato Takeru. He's not really a ninja but he did murder some people, and got given a sword that can control wind magic. 2. Hattori Hanzo. He's a ninja/samurai kind of warrior, and one of the more famous ninjas. He's a master of spear fighting, but

Stay Night's Fake Assassin. Kojirou Sasaki.

Probably a good thing that alignment isn't really a thing for the masters then. At least as an official stat.

Allow me to contest that idea. I don't think that's the way it works in the Fate universe. The reason for this is the character of Stay Night Assassin. His alignment is Neutral Evil, though surely he's not "True Evil" as you describe it? He doesn't seem that way to me at least.

Oh, I've just realized that alignment can be neutral in the first slot. So it can range from any combination of Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic and Good/Neutral/Evil. Yes, even the highly sought after Neutral Neutral is potentially possible, but in that case I'd just say they're Neutral. So anyone I talked to before about alignment, keep this in mind and change it if you want.

So the Mages Association is going to get Assassin after all, and here I was hoping she'd kill off a few of them. Excuse me while I go cry in the corner.
