No touch of death
light path: smite + Fist of light
Dark path: 1d6 sneak + Fist of darkness

FoL is better than Fist of Darkness
Smite is better than 1d6 sneak

only the "shortsword in stance" is cooler on the dark path at lvl 6.

IMHO monk Light path is much better(with the shintao enhancement) until monk level 9. So if you really want to have assassin II you should go light path.

[Syntax42]

Touch of Death is better than Smite, by far. You can easily get 1500 damage per touch of death every 15 seconds.

Assassinate DC is based on your Rogue level and your Int. Your DC to assassinate will be too low in this build.

Ninja Spy I is not giving you much benefit, compared to what you are losing. You gain the ability to use short swords, but you lose 6d6 sneak attack (3d6 from levels, 4d6 from capstone, gain 1d6).

Monk/Rogue builds have been proposed many times. Almost everyone agrees that it is much better to stay pure monk or pure rogue than to try to mix the two. Both classes gain a significant portion of their power late in their levels, and both now have excellent capstones.

[Impaqt]

12 Monk/8Rogue is a better build (IUD at L8 Rogue vs Spell Resistance for L13 Monk)

Ninja Spy 2 with extra Rogue sneak attack Plus Touch of Death is a very nice combo.
