[[File:Hood of the assassin.png]] '''''the +2 hood of the Assassin'''''

+2 [[hat]]

+100 [[Stealth]]<br>
All weapons count as [[short blades]] for purposes of determining stabbing bonuses<br>
Detect Monsters (similar to the [[Ashenzari]] ability or [[Antennae]] 3 mutation)

==Desirability==
The '''hood of the Assassin''' is a definite boon to stabbers, as the monster detection and massive stealth boost make it even easier to reach sleeping opponents and land that lethal hit. It is also amazingly useful for other melee characters so long as you have some means of generating stabbing opportunities: the short blade-grade stabbing damage multipliers can be massive, and the much higher base damage of heavier weapons can lead to extremely potent blows. A reliable source of [[invisibility]] or [[confusion]], the [[Dazzling Flash]] spell, or distracting allies are all excellent ways to land stabs even if you're wearing noisy armour, though raising your Stealth skill will still significantly improve your stabbing performance. A [[potion of stabbing]] can further increase your damage output for fights you want to end particularly quickly.

Casters and ranged fighters certainly don't suffer for wearing this hat, but they may find a hat or helm of [[intelligence]], [[magic resistance]], or [[see invisible]] more useful.

==History==
*The hood of the Assassin was introduced in [[0.25]], replacing the old [[boots of the Assassin]].
