To get the most out of an assassin you need to backstab a lot. Potions of invisibility are useful, as is running round a corner and hiding in shadows (Boots of speed are useful for this).

I once played an assassin. When I was doing Bodhi's crypt in chapter 5, in order to avoid getting level drained I had all my party drink invisibility potions on entering the graveyard district. For some reason the vampires scattered, and distributed themselves around the level. Stalking them predator style was one of the best times I've had playing BG2.
