Editing Epic Destiny (section)

===Shadow Epic Destinies===
These Epic Destinies revolve around tapping into and mastering shadow magic. As this power source, alas, was utterly ruined by the shift from 4e to Essentials, there's no real class dedicated to this power source beyond the [[Rogue#Assassin|Assassin]].

====Perfect Slayer====
The [[Raven Queen]] sends a particular type of assassin to resolve particular threats to her power. Though most threats she considers beneath her notice and lets the natural inevitability of death take care of them, those that could potentially destroy the natural order find themselves targets of the '''Perfect Slayers'''. These are her personal assassins, reincarnated but always aware of their purpose. Their only destiny is to kill this grand menace at any cost - even if they must die in the attempt.

This Epic Destiny appeared in [[Dragon Magazine]] #379 in the "Assassin: Epic Tier" article and thus is exclusive to ''[[Assassin]]s''.

At 21st level, you gain both the ''Lord of Battle'' feature, giving you combat advantage against anyone you have a shroud on, and the ''Perfect Form'' feature, adding +2 to Dexterity.

At 24th level, you have the ''Blooded but Unbowed'' feature. You can stay up for one turn after reaching 0 HP if you have a shroud on an enemy, and if you kill them before next turn you can heal as if you spent a healing surge.

At 26th level, you get the ''Killer's Judgment'' encounter utility power. This stacks four shrouds on a target and if you attack before the end of the next turn, those shrouds deal maximum damage.

At 30th level, you reach the ''Perfect Killer'' feature, making your shrouds persist after use, making them effectively permanent.
