So true. The Weapons I find Assassiny are hidden blades (obviously), dagger, throwing knives and broomsticks XD

Picture this. "An Assassin is seen on a beam under the roof of a building. His target is in the midst of a party. On the Assassin's back are a pickaxe, a sledgehammer, a spade and a sickle. He climbs down to the ground and hides. Then in the commotion, fast walks upto the target and smashes his head in with a spade. He takes out his sickle to his free-hand and waits for the guards to come closer."

Too bad you can't equip miscellaneous weapons.
