In a great number of fantasy novels, assassins are made to be these super - stealthy and perceptive characters. Hearing a heartbeat can be a really cool and somewhat terrifying ability to give them. It could be used in various plot - driven scenarios. For instance, when the assassin is stalking their target in a dark alley or a grand castle hall. They can use this ability to judge the distance, the state of their target (if the heartbeat is erratic due to fear or something else), and time their strike perfectly. This ability also makes them more of an enigma and a feared figure in the fictional world of the novel.
Well, it depends on the specific rules and magic systems within the fantasy novel. Some fantasy novels might bestow such an ability on assassins as part of their special training or a magical gift. For example, if there is a form of magic related to life - force sensing in the novel, an assassin could potentially hear a heartbeat. However, not all fantasy novels would include this ability for assassins.
