The best defense was the restrictiveness of the assassin's language ability in e1. The assassin had to have at least a 15 intelligence and be at least 9th level. A '15' in a stat is bonus time. Putting that stat in INT probably means that the assassin is missing out on a CON or WIS bonus.
I do not know of any alignment languages that were worth missing out on extra HP or bonus to magic saves.
