As far as I know the assasin in the beginning of game can only drop gold(rare cases) and nothing.
Today a strange thing happens.The assasin dropped a health potion.
If anyone knows the story of assasin drops please tell me.

Well thats interesting. I liked it in the old version where if you could manage to defeat the assasin at low level you got all his stuff. It was HARD (for me) to kill that guy with just my hero and an almost naked girl. Actually, now that I think about it, perhaps I could have concentraited better if T'Vril had stayed out of sight...

If anyone knows the story of assasin drops please tell me. There is a very small chance the assassin will drop something, but he's not meant to be killed so he normally drops nothing. I eliminated drops from him simply because people were killing him FOR the drops, and you're supposed to sneak by him. Otherwise, there was no point in giving you the "stealth" skill, was there?  |

Oh, I always thought of him as the first challenge.. 
- it seems too easy to sneak past him - and I always have the uncomfortable feeling that he will be lurking around smewhere behind me, waiting to pounce
I use the hit-and-run technique to get him, but it's a tough task..
I thought this was meant to be a teaser for the tribulations to come..
..so, once I'm past him, he plays no further part in the game...?

I was thinking that since stealth duration depends on players dex ,so it is only for players having range skill.It can be easily said that assasin is tough for range characters in the begining.As I can see even in single player recommendation is main hero range fighter and T'Vril as combat magician.Assasin is a easy target of powerful combat magician.Everyone can kill him easily except pure range characters.
I was thinking that this skill is for main hero,so that he can easily enter into Tir Maleen without breaking relationship with merchants.

Xaa: I saw the stealth skill as having a much broader application than that. I used it in LOTS of places. And I liked the fact that at this point, it gave me options, pathways, different approaches to the same problem. (Which it still does, eliminating the drops didn't change that) One of my favorite things about LOH was that it was very open ended about how much challenge you wanted to take on. You could follow the path, as you were supposed to, and meet everything when you were supposed to, and it was quite a challenge. OR, you could wander into the giants valley, or even the swamp, much earlier in the game and the challenge increase exponentialy! Then you either play your absolute BEST and or you get stomped flat. When you walk away with that giant armor or troll club, you KNOW that you earned it. That your skills and strategy won the prize, not just being the right level. ;D Which is why I've played through LOH three times now and never even finished LOA once. Dang LOH is a good story, and a great game!  Kilarin |
