So there are a few places where NPCs try to assassinate you. I don't know If I have been unlucky but they always seem to have a pretty good success rate against my chars.
Is there anything that can lower their chances of success? Some are in rooms can just avoid but others are in places I want to get past.
I figure level might help, and probably being able to see hidden, but aside from that don't know what else. Unless a conjurer using a familiar.
It's one of those things I don't think adds value to the game but maybe that's just me, insta kill by a mob sucks. At least with death traps you can look first and just avoid.
