Assassination Constipation: Dynamite with a lazer beam
Despite the fact that no one gives a rat's ass, I continue to nibble away at the AD&D Assassin class level titles one by one, week by creeping, tiresome week. Now here we are at level 6: Killer. Up there with murderer in terms of originality, but it's got more juice to it. While a murderer can be any amateur who kills someone for any reason, a killer is someone who's practiced at it and perhaps even enjoys it. Indeed, "killer" has taken on the meaning of adroitness at some particular skill, a la "lady killer."
Also, it's the name of a live action role playing game by Steve Jackson.
