The chaotic angry assassin berserker can choose to stalk once and say screw it, and attack. But I don't think the issue with assassination is honor. That's an age-old ploy. It's also dishonorable for thieves to backstab, and rangers to ambush. Shamans shouldn't rot, and APs cleave. Necromancers shouldn't sleep. Basically, if you can't bash an enemy down, they're being dishonorable.

But Battle bashes you down. Mwahaha. How's that for honor?

The one comment that I have is that in my experience, the battle berserker is really going to ream you after making the half-way assassination, but I don't think that's really unfair because the other paths give them as much or more firepower in different ways.
