The Black Flame Zealot is a religious assassin detailed in the below link. Considering it's favored weapon and alignment, it is extremely well suited to the goddess Rael in this setting.

I've noticed a few possible discrepancies in the class prerequisites and abilities.
We have already addressed the fact that Kukris are not exotic weapons, and that all clerics are automatically proficient with their deity's weapons. We changed this requirement to weapon focus.
However, the ordinary assassin class has many advantages on the Black Flame Zealot.
For one. . .the casting stat is also the stat from which the death attack save DC is determined. The assassin also has the Fox's Cunning spell and the Cat's Grace spell, the first of which boosts the save DC of it's spells and Death Attack Both, while the second boosts it's stealth capability.
Not only are the Black Flame Zealot's casting and Death Attack stats different, but they have access to neither Fox's Cunning NOR Cat's grace.
I propose that we move the stat determinant for Death attack from Int to Wis [this is not a new thing. Monks, another religious class, base the save DCs for Quivering Palm, a deadly assasin like attack, on wisdom.] I also propose that we add Cat's Grace to the Black Flame Zealot's spell list, and if we do not change the stat determinant for Death Attack to Wisdom, that we also add Fox's cunning to their spell list, so they can boost the DC.
