I'm a DM and I've introduced a recurring Assassin against the party. In addition to being a high-level Assassin, her main strength is she has a Magic Dagger called Whisper, and I want to run the stats by you guys to see if you think they're too strong/weak to use against a party of levels 6-7 (and increasing). Eventually the players will get the dagger for themselves.
Whisper
Very Rare, Dagger
Requires Attunement
This magical dagger rewuires attunement and grants you +1 to attack and damage rolls. Additionally, it has 3 charges, and regains one charge each day at dusk. You may spend one charge to cast Invisibility on yourself, following the rules for he spell as normal. Additionally, you may spend one charge to imbue Whisper with power. Within the next minute, your first hit with the dagger places the target under the effects of an isolated Silence spell. This use of Silence does not use your Concentration.
The main attack pattern is that she starts invisible or hidden, Sneak Attacks a spellcaster and silences them, and then continues her attack with a bunch of thugs. If things go bad, she uses Invisibility to run away.
I'm concerned that the auto-Silence might be a bit too strong. My players seem to like her as a recurring threat, but the Arcane-Domain Cleric gets frustrated when Silenced because he can't do anything afterward, and she usually targets him.
