Assassin leaders with troops

[bone_daddy]

When an assassin that can have troops, such as the Machaka Bane Spider, attempts an assassination, will their troops join in the attempt?

Just ran a test game, the answer is no.

...although I've sometimes wondered if it would be a spiffy feature if an assassin with Heroic Leadership could bring his stealthies along.

The Mictlan god assassinates with two Fiends of darkness included!

Sort of - they are automatic combat summons, and an assasination attempt IS a combat, even if a special case.

You could put a Wraith crown/lifelong protection on your assasin to stack the odds against enemy army commanders.
