Thats nice, but your opinion is just one of many, its not the law.
What if he has other characters that have stealth and hiding, like rangers. Or other thieves that can hide and stealth? Who's going to pick locks and remove traps? What if he is the only thief character?
You have to adjust your party if you plan on surviving. Your skills should depend on who else you have in your party, not just what so and so says.
Maybe I should have said SINGLE PLAYER game instead of solo. If you are playing single player, and have Minsc, etc in your party, you'll have a thief with basic lockpick and detect trap abilities, so its good to put hide and stealth on your assassin.
BUT, if you are playing multiplayer, and your assassin is the only thief, whos going to unlock all the boxes? Whos going to detect and remove the traps you find? A cleric can detect traps, but only as long as they have the spell. A mage can knock, but they can only do it so many times a day.
Early in the game you don't need those backstabbing abilities, which are still low at level 7. Being able to remove and detect traps, and unlock chests will help alot more at lower levels than hiding (which a mage can cast invisible) and stealth.
So base what you want your assassin to have based on your other party members you plan on having. Only one skill will disarm traps, many items will duplicate hiding (potions, rings, spells, etc)
