When used in attack deathtouch causes assassin to kill himself too. See this post.
Is it intentional that use of deathtouch in defense (during counterattack) should not kill assassin too? Or rather should he not use it there?

To me this seems as the best option:

• during attack: deathtouch is automatically used, both assassin and the enemy die
• durinn defense: deathtouch is not used, assassin does not kill himself, his counterattack is standard half of his power (6 / 2 = 3)

Without this, if deathtouch is used both in attack and defense, assassin's power of 6 is not making sense and can be as well set to 0.

I think assassin will probably not change, but I agree the 6 attack is pointless.

with a double attack assassin's are going to take the pie for top used unit, however this would not be good because by way point he could leave the army with out the players dissension.

This is right. We should disable the counterattack. Can anyone make the assassin to a json?

I wish I could but I am leaning aoww Unit JASON.
