The prerequisites for Way of the Assassin II will take up most of the skill points thru level 12. The few left over I spent on faster sneaking since you have to be in sneak mode for "Assasinate" to work.

Interesting Note: I've had a lot of success assassinating beholders in VoN 2 and 3.

I believe Int is the Stat modifier for Assasinate. so you will want a decent anmount of Int.

What else would your Assassin to be?

For example if you're REALLY wanting solely to focus on an Assassinate, you'd go say, Drow and max your INT to 20 when you roll.

But of course realize that Assassination won't work on End Bosses and you seemingly get to a point in the game where the End Boss is really what matters.

I know I'll prob take a hit on that last statement but, having myself a Drow Rogue Assassin that sports a every high INT, you generally don't build a reputation on Assassinate but instead the DPS you can dish out and how well you stay up.

So, you want an Assassin and what else?

I wouldn't max INT. Sure it's nice for skill points and Assassinate DC, but as pointed out DPS is generally considered more useful. That pushes me to recommend Halfling, though the difference is pretty small.

Some minor advice:
Skip AssassinI. That is, from Level 6 to 12 go with Mechanic (and guarantee you'll never miss a trap even well above your level) or Acrobat (speedy, jumpy, dodgy) until you are ready for AssassinII. AssassinI is next to useless.

AssassinIII is looking very promising, so if you multiclass (which isn't a great idea on an Assassin in most cases), then don't go more than 2 non-rogue levels.

Faster Sneaking III or better is a very, very good thing. If you can't get to the target easily and quickly, you'll never get your hit in.

Would you then go dex based halfling I take it and not worry about str to much?
