	Introduced in "Heroes of Shadow", the Executioner is a Striker class drawing from the Martial and Shadow power sources.

	...Yeah, you can see they were struggling to define this as a separate class to the original assassin, can't you?		...Yeah, you can see they were struggling to define this as a separate class to the original assassin, can't you? It doesn't help matters that the Executioner was actually proposed as a subclass for Assassin before being shoved out the door as its own thing.

	Executioners choose at 1st level to belong to either the Red Scales guild, specialized in close combat, or the League of Whispers, specialized in ranged attacks, which determines their at-will powers. Like a true Essentials class, they gain different features as they level up, most of the higher level ones being upgraded versions of early-level class features. At the Heroic Tier, they have a small pool of powers that they can choose from to customize their character, but once they hit Paragon & Epic tier, their use of powers falls away and their class focuses entirely on features gained from either their built-in paragon levels or their epic destiny, respectively.		Executioners choose at 1st level to belong to either the Red Scales guild, specialized in close combat, the League of Whispers, specialized in ranged attacks, or the Ninja, which gives a little of both. Your choice in guild determines their at-will powers. Like a true Essentials class, they gain different features as they level up, most of the higher level ones being upgraded versions of early-level class features. Also like an Essentials class, you are locked to one Encounter power (Executioner's Strike, which deals additional damage to one enemy you hit). At the Heroic Tier, they have a small pool of Utility powers that they can choose from to customize their character, but once they hit Paragon & Epic tier, their use of powers falls away and their class focuses entirely on features gained from either their built-in paragon levels or their epic destiny, respectively. Interestingly, this class does away with Daily powers entirely and instead gives you the ability to craft certain poisons that you can use on either your weapons for some extra riders or on an item to see more subtlety in your killings. Of course, the Shadow Poisoner feat lets you poach this for your standard assassins in exchange for a Daily power.
