I agree completely that the assasin kit could have been better. In effect the designers have reduced the ability of an assasin to hide in shadows by reducing the amount of skill points awarded per level. As it stands any normal thief has more points to assign to stealth and hide in shadows, given a poison dagger they are essentially better than an assasin. Maybe if they had some way of controlling specific abilities... a limit to trap detecting or pick pocketing profficiencies would have provided a suitable balance for the improved sneak and kill ability. As it stands an assasin loses more than he/she gains through selecting the kit.
