Which is stupid too as it implies every character wakes up in time.
The official help page on classes states that infiltrators may be able to: carry out assassinations
and those who assassinate are assassins. Also, the ninja thing is based on all the descriptions of the class including the name, supporting ninja like actions.
You manage to sneak into his sleeping quarters unnoticed.
Silently, you sneak up on your target, and surprise him.
You quickly put him down for good, seriously wounding him before you make your escape.
How does that implies that he even woke up?
These are good points. These texts should be changed to clarify what actually happens a little better.
There is no assumption here. The goal is assassination. To kill.
That's very much like saying the goal of looting a city is to destroy it so it can never be rebuilt, or building up a city out of a rural field. You're welcome to
say that's your goal all you want, but
we all know it's completely, 100% impossible so that makes you a bit of a twit for claiming that to be your goal in the first place.
The game does not make any such assumption. The game's assumption is that you want to seriously injure your target. It's completely, 100% possible to do that.
It's all about your assumptions.
