Sneak Attack — The master assassin deals an additional 3d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.
Study Target — The master assassin observes a single target she can see, allowing her to use her Vorpal Garrote during the next round.
Vorpal Garrote (death, incapacitation) — Success No additional effect.
Failure The target takes an additional 3d12 precision damage.
Critical Failure The target is decapitated and instantly dies unless it doesn't require a head to live.

WORKS WELL WITH

WeaverLANDA weaver's debilitating effects lower enemy saves, making the assassin's vorpal garrote far more likely to land.
